This seems like it could be a real option...$17,500 after federal incentive and 90 mile range, should be coming Stateside in the spring. http://money.cnn.com/gallery/autos/2012/10/11/smart-ed-electric-car/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Thoughts?

The base Tesla Model @ is $57,000 before the $7,500 tax rebate, so about $20,000 more than the Leaf.

Man, I don't know how you guys can drive how you do (referring to the slow driving). I've actually been trying to see how good my ICE cars can do mileage wise, which has meant driving no faster than the speed limit on the freeway (65 in a 65, 55 in a 55) and within 2-5 miles of the speed limit...

As far ask know, cars with auto lock still allow you to open the door from the inside, but sometimes take two pulls of the handle so it's not opened by mistake.

Guess it depends what you're used to. Both our cars now (German) have the volume control on the right side of the steering wheel. I would find it odd if they were on the left side.

I think the figure of 0.3% is actually pretty insulting...I mean there are around 39 reported cases here on the forum of at least 1 bar lost, is Nissan telling us that somehow, all affected owners also happen to be on this forum? Anyone not on this forum has not lost any capacity bars? Hell...

For the LEAF (or any other electric vehicle) to be a true viable alternative to a regular ICE vehicle, they need to have the same warranty/guarantee across the nation, just as ICE vehicles have. It's not like Nissan/Ford/Audi/etc have different warranties on their cars depending on where they...

He has reported that he has lost the 12th bar again.

I'm a bit confused here...hasn't that scenario already happened with the guy who was interviewed in the video? He said he used to be able to go 90 miles roundtrip to work and now can only go 44 miles, and can no longer take the LEAF to work. So this is not a "what if" or "could it" type of...

Does anyone know during what period, how long and how many miles the testing took place in Arizona?

I would say it's probably safe to assume that if there are 400 LEAFs between Phoenix/Tucson, that either all of them already have or will have the same capacity loss as the 34 people on here are seeing. It just happens that those 34 people are here on this forum, and that's actually pretty high...

I was actually thinking about the Volts earlier today...has anyone experienced or heard of anyone who has that their Volt for 1+ years in Phoenix that their electric range has gone down at all?

Dang I caught just the tail end of the report where the newswoman said Nissan recommends that anyone with this problem should not leave the dealership with their car until Nissan contacts the regional manager about the issue. Anyone have a recording?

Damn ****'s about to get real! Did you already try and get Nissan to do something about this or did you decide to go directly to the news first?

Yea I thought about that one too and as you said, it was taken. Another one that would have been good but it's taken is "CHRGEME".
