Just wanted to let everyone know about an odd situation that just happened to me. '13 Leaf SV build date 9/13, lost first bar over the summer here in Vegas. Drifted down further to about 50 Ahr with 68% Hx. Was waiting to drop the 11th bar when the weather cooled off and the stats starting...

I doubt the tires themselves say 35psi max. Most modern tires (in the size range we're talking about here) are either 44psi or 51psi max. 44psi is recommended by a lot of Leaf owners as it seems to be a good balance of handling and increased mileage (maybe 10%). I'm currently running about...

Looks like the shutdown is commencing. No longer working in Las Vegas. For some reason, I really thought it would be shut off everywhere at 11:59pm on 12/31 like a switch. Looks like it is definitely being shut down but not quite all at once.

Another way to think about it is that 11 bars could be 80% of original capacity (15% for the first bar, and then 6.25% for the 2nd bar). So you could show 11 bars but still only have 80% of your original capacity (technically 78.75%-85%). Since you say you started (when new, I assume) at 90...

Still working here in Las Vegas, Nevada as well. Interesting point, though: my TCU serial starts with 2012-99, which is not mentioned in the bulletin as needing replacement. Whether it does or not, time shall tell. I had ordered the replacement from my dealer, but I'm going to hold off until...

I would dispute "functions just as it should". As communications device, it does not function as it should. Communications devices require two ends to work (and, yes, I understand the cause of the device no longer working -- but that [should be] between Nissan and AT&T, and I needn't be...

If I had one piece of advice for a new Leaf owner, this would be it. The way I think about it is not "range anxiety" or "am I going to make it?" but rather "how do I make it?" Sounds almost the same, but big difference psychologically. In the first case, it's worry and doubt. In the latter case...

Where did you get that data from? I was under the impression the number was at least double that. See http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1098948_plug-in-electric-car-sales-in-jun-leaf-volt-wane-after-may-surge, which says 9,816 units sold Jan-Jun 2015.

I thought for 2013 that if the car was equipped with fog lights (from the SV LED Headlights and Quick Charge Port Package) that it included the (well, kind of obvious) Quick Charge Port? I suppose those could be aftermarket fog lights. Do you know if those are halogen of LED headlights? That's...

Yeah, this is the part that's weird. The warranty time-wise is 60 months from date of delivery, but 60,000 miles total? Even if not officially stated that way, the warranty should be 60 months & 60,000 miles after delivery. It's not that hard to track, either, since there's a known number of...

Any update OP? I believe if the original paperwork showed the car had 7 miles when you got it, your 60,000 mile warranty ends when the car has 60,007 miles, so you should be covered.

Is there an argument to be made here that the battery capacity was under the 70% prior to the 60,000 mile mark due to the fact that the battery level must be under for about a month before the light is turned off?
