Hi, I'm the OP of this thread and I just wanted to update my experience, in case it benefits anyone else: When I finally had the winter tires taken off and the summer tires put back on, the sensors kicked right back in and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System began functioning normally. My error...

Wow - cloning might be beyond my paygrade, but I am glad to know there is such a solution. (Somehow I missed that thread - many thanks BrockWI) I am going to watch the video as well. Thanks again to you both.

Thanks again! I'll report my experience back when I learn more. I've inflated the tires up to 38+ and I've still got the warning light, which I take to mean the TPMS has failed due to the lack of sensors in the wheels. (That doesn't quite match your experience though, so I've still got...

Thank you LeftieBiker! I will take that advice and additionally inflate the tires. I'm going to do more research as to whether its worth it to get 433 MHz sensors installed in the winter rims. In the meantime it sounds like I'm living with that warning light. Hopefully when the summer rims...

Apologies if I've duplicated another thread - I did my best to search this up. Anyways, I'd be appreciative of any thoughts folks might care to share on my situation below. I have a 2018 Leaf. Recently I had snow tires put on with new rims put on the vehicle. This was done at a local shop. On...

Thanks to you both! To be honest, I was half-expecting a warning not to cheap out and to spring for the alloy. But it sounds like there is something to be said for steel here. Much appreciated.

Hi, Would anybody care to share their thought process or views on steel vs. alloy rims? I am getting winter tires for a 2018 Leaf and trying to investigate whether alloy is worth the additional cost. It sounds as though alloy is lighter, which I would imagine is better for range efficiency...

Thanks guys! I'll be checking those manual references. (This board is awesome)

Interesting note about the temperature sensor! Thanks for that. Does anybody know more about this? I have been reading posts suggesting a Level 1 charger can be a fire hazard. Does this feature of the 2018 L1/L2 combo EVSE mean that level 1 charging from a standard outlet (a NEMA 5-15 120V)...

OP here, As usual, the discussion here is extremely helpful. I learn multiple things every time. I will investigate the breaker issue in more detail. I see I am incorrect about the 200 Amp panel, at least in so far as I described it as standard requirement - that might just be specific to me...

Another newbie question! I am hoping someone can help me make sure I have this right or correct me where I have gone wrong. I’ve discovered that the 2018 Leaf now comes with an EVSE (a charging cable that plugs into an outlet on one end, and the car on the other. In-between each end is a box...

Thanks a ton guys. That's a bunch of info to look at and digest. (Links appreciated!) It sounds like to keep thing simple, ultimately, I should just push for the 20-80 range and not overthink it to the point that it messes with what I want to actually use the car for.

Hey, thanks for that alozzy! As it turns out, I am not in Vancouver though. (Many days, I wish I was!)

A newbie question on how to treat your EV battery: With some rechargeable batteries for common household items, I have seen that the user manuals recommend that rather than constantly charging, it is better to let the battery run out and then recharge it back to full. (I have no knowledge if...

Thanks to you all for your thoughts! (and welcome) Plugshare was an interesting lead especially. If I have my lingo right, it's a level 2 charge (a J-1772) and it is $2.50 per 'session'. The parking at the train lot (a car park/parking garage) is free (whether you charge) or just park...
