    grabby brake issue - TSBs, workarounds, suggestions

    Not sure what did it, but the grabby problem has been gone for a while in my early 2011 LEAF. The brakes are working really well these days. Related to brake pad wear? Non OEM tires on my car now? Brake firmware update I had done a while back? Did the "mash the pedal to the floor for 30...

    Dealership told me basic floor mats don't come w/ my Leaf?!

    I had ordered my 2011 LEAF with no floor mats to save that money. I bought some generic aftermarket ones instead.

    Open letter about Nissan customer abuse by Blink

    Some of the wording in your posting seems off-putting, and may be diluting your message. ---- (inline comments in italics) I need the following from the EV community and from Blink <<<== I think "want" would make more sense than "need". (What is your recourse if your "needs" aren't met?)...

    Disappointed with Bay Area, Ca public charging

    Keep in mind that you have a bunch of "apples to oranges" going on there comparing the Bay Area (with hills and open space forests) and the LA basin which is basically just a sprawl of concrete cities. Here is the bay area view showing some sections which are wooded hills with little...

    Official Nissan e-NV200 thread

    I think it has more to do about the motor toque & horsepower "curves". LEAF power stops rising much above 40MPH so freeway acceleration is somewhat uninspiring. RAV4EV with Tesla Model S motor make a lot more horsepower at high RPMs and so accelerates better on the freeway. I think the idea...

    What's the thing you hate most about your Leaf?

    Dislike grabby brakes at low speeds. But they are good brakes. They stop the car well. Dislike the look of the bulbous headlights from some angles. Disliked the sound quality of XM radio. Never renewed the trial subscription. Generally love the car. Smooth, quiet, easy to drive, etc...
