    Nissan Leaf on Chicago Fire

    Did anyone see this weeks Chicago Fire??? A leaf crashed and the electricity was sparking all over....then they cut a panel from the rear quarter and used a bolt cutter on the orange wire assembly. I thought that when in an accident all power cuts off. Was this real or "Hollywood"?

    Drivers door handles won't open door

    Dealer did not know how to get it off without wrecking the panel, and they quoted me 585.00 for a new inside panel. Body shop also suggested getting a panel. I did find one on EBay, same color as mine for $100.00 I assume it is the door actuator This is a 2012 and out of warranty.

    My 2012 lost bar number 3 with 22,000 miles on it....now I am keeping it outside in the hot Las Vegas sun, and letting it go as low as I can before charging. When I drive I am flooring it for bursts and letting it regenerate to heat it up. I called Henderson Nissan to do its yearly battery...

    Decline in regen braking

When going downhill I usually only see the dot in the center, and when I brake maybe 1 dot to two dots towards regen tops for a full stop. Going uphill when I release...
