Turning out great! The color is cool too...

As far as I know, it doesn't make any sound when stopped unless you are in reverse. Also, I don't think it makes any sound above a certain speed (10 mph?). Please correct me if I am wrong.

I would also suggest you use a weight distribution hitch to move some of the tongue weight to the front axle. Anderson makes a really nice one for lighter trailers.

Recently got the new horn, now I have to find the time to install it. Great write-ups, they will make the task easier. Thank you!!

Agree. Looks like a mean golf cart!! Good use for an aging EV. Our neighbors just traded in their '13 Leaf on a Tesla, they got $800 (!!) trade-in on the Leaf... Turning it into a dune buggy would be tempting.

Yes, it clears it up. Thank you for the explanation. 😊 I do like the black top on your car. When we bought our '19, the black top was not offered on the red car.

Hey Nutsodeluxe. Can you enlighten me on what a ZE1 is as opposed to, say, a -plus Leaf? Maybe you did in one of your threads, apologize if I missed it.

I have a JuiceBox that seems to be a good unit, probably not the cheapest though. You can limit the charging current.

I noticed the same thing between our '11 and '19 Leaf. I will frequently spin the tires on the '19 when accelerating to get into traffic, never noticed it on the '11.

Hey there. Can you explain this a little more? My car connects to my home wi-fi all the time. I do not know what it does. How do you update maps, etc? I suppose it is done inside the car when connected to wi-fi(?). My car is a 2019 SL+. Thank you!!

Sounds like you are making out well. Glad that a bad event is turning out good. We too love our 2019 SL Plus!!

Yes, we will see, please keep us posted. BTW, I see that you purchased your '19 the same day we got ours!!

When we were test driving the '19 Leaf, I asked the dealer what the tow rating is. He said: Oh, I'd say 2 or 3 thousand pounds. Take that for what it is worth. When we were camping on the Oregon Coast this last Summer, there was a Tesla there that had a fairly good sized trailer it was towing...

Thank you for the post on these tires. Yeah, I have noticed that the OEM tires on our '19 SL Plus have low traction especially when the road is wet (which, around here will be that way 90%+ of the time now until May!). I will definitely look into these when I am ready to get new tires.

I appreciate the thoughts about turning off the regeneration mode. We live in a pretty hilly area, half the time you are going up or down a hill. In the old days (I know, I'm old) cars had what is called compression braking, that worked pretty good keeping the car at the right speed with...
