Selling my OEM 2015 Leaf changing cable that has been upgraded by EVSEupgrade.com. $225 shipped anywhere in the lower 48. No longer need it as I've sold the Leaf. Normal wear, works great. Here's the text from my original receipt. All items, including the 3 adapters, are included. Note: Prices...

No doubt. One thing is certain. If you think you will want one and are not an employee or an existing Tesla owner, placing a deposit in store on the 31st will get you the car sooner than if you wait to do it online or at a later date.

Leaf owner - placing deposit in store. For me, the model 3 is highly likely to fix the three biggest deficiencies see in my Leaf: 1) Low range - particularly given I live in the mountains and have cold, snowy winters. 2) Charging network - I cannot go beyond my local metro area with the Leaf...

For me, the Leaf has 3 main disadvantages: 1) Range - fine in the summer, not quite what I need in the winter 2) Charging network - no level 3 chargers on major routes I would like to travel a half dozen times a year 3) Battery degradation - summer range won't even be enough for me an a few...

Fair points. Depending on your use case and priorities, it can make sense or be a poor decision.

I see both of your points, but you also paint a worse case scenario. Some rental agencies will pick you up and you're paying for the privilege of having your own ICE vehicle with increased operating costs. In addition, ICE ownership also comes with the joy found in spending time and gas driving...

I agree and believe that's flawed logic. My leaf is my only car, but I still have the occassional need for a car that can go farther and outside of my nearby charging network and also for a pickup. I save money, not to mention reduced pollution, if I just rent as needed. My area also has a...

I realize you are speaking in generalizations, but without data to draw on, I'll at least submit my anecdotal experience. I make under $100k/yr, am a homeowner, and with deductions still pay over $7500 annually in Federal taxes. I don't know how many others might be in a similar situation, Just...

He's right about one thing, people are anxious about range. I think *some* of those people irrationally so, given their daily driving or existing ownership of 2nd ICE vehicle. However, to bring up Federal subsidies for electric vehicles without covering the fed and state subsidies given to...

Although those numbers may be similar for BEV follow up purchases, I'd be interested to see if they differ when split out from plugin hybrids. I can understand going back to ICE for those who's situation changes or who bought EV's to save money or get HOV lane access. Personally, I went EV to...

I had this done over the weekend and agree that D mode does seem to have less regen and the brakes are less grabby. Both positives to me. B-mode seems the same as does Eco. I also prefer pure coasting, except for when in hilly and/or predominately downhill stretches of driving. However, quite...

I realize you may not use B-mode, but if you have tried it since the service, did you noticeable changes? On a side note, I'd also prefer "D" mode have be a coast mode, but as you say opinions vary. I'd also still want a "B" mode with high regen. The ability to chose either as the default mode...

I'd go with a 2015 or 2016 on lease rather than buy. Which one would depend on your mileage needs and how close of a deal you can get between the two. If I were doing it over again, i would not currently buy. Used prices seem really low, range loss is too great (for me) to own more than a few...

Thank you, I should have known I could set the climate control timer from within the car and it would work regardless of cellular connection. Too bad about checking charge status without cellular. Would love to be able to do this with a wifi ODB2 adapter.
