I'm a doofus - it wasn't December of 2011, it was 2010. I have had my charger for more than 2 years, I just did the math wrong in my head. I'm not trying to be a jerk about this - when I moved, which wasn't planned but necessary, I tried to get them to let me move it. I was told by the...

padamson - That's odd, because for the last 3 months the right-hand charger on the Cornelius FM QC has been broken. Either "This port is out of service" or just completely off. Before that, you couldn't have two cars plugged in at once (even though that's the whole point). Having emailed Blink...

Hey folks, I got my Blink in about December of 2011, a few months before I got my Leaf. We ended up having to move about 10 months later, and when I tried to contact Ecotality to ask about moving it, I got no answers and a "you might be outside the coverage area" speech, but no help. So I...

Man, I miss my old Insight's wheel spats. They were so snazzy. I've got about 28k miles on my Leaf now, so it's time for new tires. I'm looking into the Kumho LRR tires. I probably won't change the wheels. All the heavy mods I do in my life surround my phone. It's cheaper, at least. :D

I've gotten it down to a science, now. :D As long as it's just me in the car, it doesn't fog up. As soon as someone else is there, though, it fogs up like crazy. I think the main factor must be the temperature. I'm going to see if setting my charging timer to finish right before I leave in...

Well, I put some air into the tires last night, up to 44 psi now. And made it to work this morning on just 5 bars! So that's a significant improvement. I'll keep checking. The day it took 7 was the day where it was practically flooding last week. Today I didn't use windshield wipers or the CC...

I am seeing even more significant loss of mileage and I'm wondering what might be causing it. Maybe someone here can shed some light? I got my Leaf in May, and have almost 10k miles on it. During the summer I was making my commute of about 65 miles each day and getting home with around 4-5 bars...

I've been having some trouble with that as well. I generally never use heat or AC, but it's been very damp and rainy and cold for the last few weeks, and I've moved so I no longer have the benefit of parking in an insulated garage. This morning I tried having the CC preheat about 20 minutes...

I know the Enterprise on Burnside St. in Portland has 4-5 Leafs. I see them when I take Burnside home. What is with the red Leafs? Do you guys hate me? Every time I wave I get dirty looks. ;) I see a blue Leaf on 224 on my way home, too, but it's usually parked. Oliver: I have been noticing...

I finally had my first wave from a fellow Leafer! If you were on Hwy 26 eastbound and waved at a black Leaf, hi! You're the first person who's actually waved back. Patrick - I didn't sign up for it specifically, no. It just came by UPS without warning. It may be that all of us who ordered...

Has anyone received a little gift in the mail from Nissan? I got a cute little model car a couple days ago. I am really glad to hear that Lincoln City has chargers! I have a friend who is disabled and really wanted to go hit the casinos in LC, but I told her we'd have to maybe stay the night...

I just met John Wayland, owner of a very cool EV drag racer. He saw my Leaf and we started talking about EVs. I saw another black Leaf this morning and waved, so if you were on the Ross Island bridge, hi!

Well it's been a month and a half and I'll have 3000 miles on my Leaf by the two-month mark. Still in love with the car. I've been seeing a lot more Leafs on the road. I saw my first blue one yesterday morning but he was on the other side of 26 so I doubt he saw me wave. I do see a guy in a...

My daily commute + lunch is about 70-75 miles. Then a bit more if I need to do errands or we go out to dinner. So far the lowest I've ever gotten is down to 9 miles remaining. I still haven't gotten to turtle mode, not that I want to. :) We're going to try going to the beach at some point...

I've had my charger for 2 months, but only just today got my car. So when I plugged it in, it didn't know the car was connected. Turns out because it sat unused for so long, it sort of locked up. Had to power it off for 3 full minutes and then let it run about 3 firmware updates. After that...
