    Yeah... service???? What's that? LOL. Go to the dealership and hunt for dealer coupons online or via their service department e-mail lists. I find dealer coupons for tire rotations occasionally for $9.95 - $19.95 and some other dealer service coupons for "$10 off or $15 off any...

    If by "THEY" you mean Tesla and if by this post you mean "Does the Tesla store let you sit in the Model 3 if you visit the Gold Coast Location that has one on display?" Then the answer is yes! :-). Sit in, open doors, frunks, and trunks, play with the screen, have a ball!

    You must have made a similar days adventure as I did. Went to the Auto Show.. then lunch... then Tesla Gold Coast. Pretty awesome! Seeing the Model 3 was awesome for me and the highlight of my day as I'm a Day 1 Reservation holder who waited since 6am and was about 15-20th in line at...

    Braking Behavior

    I've noticed the same thing over the 3 years I've had my '13 and it is a bit unnerving! Interesting to know others have experienced the same thing.

    Nice work... Reading through here, after having not visited in a while, it does indeed seem that we got through just in time! Kudos on getting at least part of the $1,500 RPM incentive and that 0% financing too! WOW. Happy Leaf'n!

    T/M Vehicle System Malfunction Warning

    Had this happen to me tonight in my 2013 SL with 56k miles on it and all 12 bars. Specifically charged to 100% due to various trips I was making today. Intent was to charge again to 80% after draining to 40-60% and then use that for the remaining trip home. Arrived at my destination with...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Exactly! I read about it last year in the following article: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1098384_2012-2013-nissan-leaf-electric-cars-get-5000-lease-buyout-credit In remembering the article, I asked NMAC while on the phone verifying the $7,500 incentive. They said this was indeed...

    ... was offered 7500 NMAC credit towards payoff of 2013 leaf

    FWIW, I was offered the $7,500 NMAC buyout incentive and was told by NMAC about the dealer incentives that existed (up to $1,500) and that I had read about in EV articles. Finding a dealer that would give me both was tough but I did it! $9k off. See below thread...

    Final anticipated update to this story as I have BOUGHT my 2013 Nissan LEAF SL out of it's lease. The outcome was basically something like this... Day 1, Dealer #1: Glendale Nissan; Glendale Heights, IL: Current Payoff Value $17,143 - $7,500 = $9,643 + $300 Purchase Fee = $9,943 +...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Thought I'd post an update to this after spending a good portion of my day going from dealer to dealer seeing if anyone could get me a better End-Of-Lease buyout deal (which had gone up to $7,500 in March from my $6k offer in February.) I heard there were certain dealer incentives (up to...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    I called NMAC today and indeed my offer went up from $6000 to $7500 and I have until the end of the month to decide. Of course, it could be the same next month or it could go up or down. From what I hear, this is the highest offer that has ever been available so I am even more tempted to do...

    I wonder why you got $7500 of the residual? Perhaps that is the March Offer? I, and others as it seems, got $6000 off residual for February's offer. I might have to call tomorrow. My LEAF is also a 2013 but an SL model and due in June. Hmmmm?
