So what did the update fix or enhance? I have a 2012. Does it improve the charge rate to be equal to the 2013?

Slight deviation of subject.... Will that solar canopy at the Atlanta Chevy dealer really charge 6 EV's or will it just charge 6 Chevy Volts? I am being sincere here, no sarcasm intended. 6 Leafs is 6 x 23KWH for a total of 138KWH of battery capacity. 6 Volts is 6 x 5KWH for a total of...

Big thread here. I read about 15 of the 66 pages of comments. A few comments: 1. I took the survey. What I looked for was a question similar to: What would you pay to get a battery of higher capacity (more driving range)? There were no questions in the survey regarding larger capacity...

Does any know if Nissan remotely upgrades the software in the Leaf that are already on the road? If they do, have I been receiving enhancements or bug fixes that I am unaware of?

The owners manual might indicate that the battery heater comes on at -4F, but my experience doesn't seem to agree. I don't know of any way to 'see' battery heater current draw so I have no facts to support my observations. It seems to me that on colder days, perhaps in the 0F to 10F days, that...

I didn't care for the survey. I expected to be asked how much I would be willing to pay for a higher KWH battery replacement, but the survey never asked. I felt they asked the wrong questions. I have a 2012 Leaf and I really like it. The car seems to be well made and I would not like to see...

I have had my Leaf for 1 month now. I just can't find anything negative to say about the car. The headlights are a bit odd looking but that's as close as I can come to a negative comment. The guys at work have been so impressed with my Leaf experience that 2 of them are picking up their new...

I believe this is the thread to post leasing or purchasing experience. Last Friday (8/31/12) I leased a SL for $300.05 per month, nothing down, 15,000 miles annually. All I needed to pay was my 1st month lease payment and drive away. I must admit though that I did add a service that I believe...

Problem resolved... Somewhere along the line I understood the login was my email address. I contacted Nissan support and they clarified the login and password. I can now login to the iPhone Leaf apps. Hopefully this thread might help someone else in the future. WhiteBearLake

Making SOME progress.... It was suggested that I try to login to the owner portal as a test. I tried and it stated that a login with my email address had not been created. So, I created it again, and added my Leaf to my vehicle list again. This time it confirmed that my account had been...

Thanks for the Leaf Link recommendation. I have added it to my iPhone. Even so, I still am unable to login after repeated attempts. Do I use my CW nickname or my CW PIN for the login to the iPhone apps? FYI, I am using my CW password for the iPhone apps. I am assuming that the server isn't...

This has probably been posted somewhere in the previous 21 pages of postings, but I didn't see it. So, at the risk of asking for the same information... I got my Leaf 6 days ago and through trial and error I managed to get CarWings activated on my Leaf about an hour ago. Following that I have...

Just did a zero down lease on a Leaf SL for $300 a month, 15,000 miles. It was a great lease, but it was tough not holding out for a 2013, even at a higher price. Just got my Schneider charger installed, using it for the 1st time right now.

Two more aspects to consider when leasing.... In this thread I see references to a 39 month lease. Keep in mind that the vehicle warranty is 36 months. I read an article a few years back on edmunds.com which strongly suggests either getting the warranty extended to 39 months or the lease...
