for what it's worth, i'm posting a final update to this thread: my car is a worthless piece of crap. i've monitored the battery pack closely over my 3 years of ownership. i've watched the capacity shrink from 12 bars to 10. i've kept the tires 44 psi at running temp. i STILL get the same ~35...

Bumping a 6 years old thread (sorry) Experts from this thread and elsewhere: any thoughts on horrific internal resistance (as measured by the "Hx" value in LeafSPY)? My 2012 LEAF SL gives me just 35 miles range from full charged to dead-on-the-side-of-the-road (max speed 50mph) and yet...

I ran down to VLBW and pulled up leaf spy. I grabbed screenshots but posting from mobile I'd a pain; I'll add them later. basic summary: - down to 20 gids - least spy DTE to 0.5kwh indicated 3.7mi - 115 to 120mv max cell diff (from different screens, it bounced around a bit) - 3 cells indicated...

yeah, figures. i'm now looking into replacement tires. I can't seem to find the RCC specs for any current LRR tires. everything is either subjective and a little stale or objective and VERY stale (2003). spoke with local firestone and they are going to see if RCC info can be pulled for their...

i don't mind taking the scenic route to get where i'm going :) i kept the cabin heater off 100% of the time except while charging once or twice. heater played no role at all. i did use steering wheel and seat heaters but i understand those are negligible. i'll give that a shot. as mentioned...

(reply from phone; please excuse brevity and formatting) interesting. I had no idea my tires might suck so bad. they are certainly not stock but are what the dealership installed prior to buying it (again, used 2012 SL). I've had it since last May and have absolutely tested in warm weather...

ok, makes sense. in my case i was nearly 100% DCQC (aside from two L2 charges at 3.6kW specifically where the nissan owned infrastructure was dead and i couldn't make it to the next DCQC without some help) the 6.6kW charge times don't affect me (my used leaf is a 2012 SL with only the 3.3kW...

here here yup. look at the Bolt versus Model 3 right now: - similar price tag - similar range - bolt will ship at least 1 year before model 3 - model 3 will have access to superchargers and chademo (via adapter plug) - bolt has L2 and SAE Combo. period. i don't know about anyone else, but in...

i sure hope not; it's brand new (the head unit that is). i bought the car last May and within a few weeks the head unit was malfunctioning: it repeatedly opened and closed the touchscreen display any time the leaf was "off". i had to stick a CD half-way into the slot to stop the unit from...

thanks for that - too bad about the evtripplanner maps being purged though. ok, so my 12 hour 234 mile round trip isn't so far off then. i was hoping to drive my battery down into sub-LBW territory over the last few days but we had some freak late season snow and i charged up to ensure i could...

leafspy currently shows me DTE=39.9mi to LBW, 47.5mi to VLBW, and 52.6mi to 0.5kwh (all with mi/kwh set to 4.0, which is a reasonable upper-limit estimate for my average daily commute) you mean 1 hour to get an additional 10 miles of range? on a long trip, for me, that MIGHT get me to the next...

I actually plunked down the $1k to reserve a model 3. i might cancel between now and when it ships (nice that there is a no-risk refund policy) but figured if i do want the model 3 i'll want my best crack at getting it before the subsidies run out done; yes Boston MA. ok, thanks. so the full...

interesting. my main issue was that the charge timers seemed to be EVENT driven rather than STATE driven. that is, i expected them to behave as you've described: if set to charge from 2am to 7pm then plugging in the car at any time during that interval i thought it should start charging... this...

new thread is started here http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=21706&p=457087#p457087 fair enough, though i'm still unsure why my range appears to limited. i've tried to test my range below LBW in the past, when i didn't have a toddler in the back seat and was close to home. i...

[EDIT: odd... the bbcodes for lists and images didnt' work for me. sorry for the broken formatting, not sure what went wrong exactly edit2: need list=1 not list= to start the first list, then list=2 for the second list] Discussion started here...

I found a workable solution: you have to disable the charging timers when the car would otherwise be allowed to charge. that is: - set a start time a few minutes in the future (if you are working on the issue just before 9AM set the charge timer for 9AM) - turn off the car, plug it in - let the...

Thanks for that. Yeah, I realize that I'll lose a bar soon. Losing that bar won't change the actual performance of the car much though (since the bars reflect actual capacity and don't themselves limit functionality). In the current state my car seems to be performing as though it has a more...

My expectations were to have a range of 60+ miles on a full (100%) charge, and 50+ miles on an 80% charge in the conditions described. Instead I realized ~40 miles of range on a full charge and ~30 miles on an 80% charge. My expectations were 1.5x greater than observed performance despite being...

Is anyone else getting actual mileage disturbingly worse than expected? Short story in bullet points (I tried being more verbose but I ended up with unnecessary venting about defective DCQC's along my route; figured I'd trim that fat before posting so here's the ultra short version): - I...

I drive a 2012 SL and tried using the charging timer to get my leaf to charge only during non-peak (cheap) hours. it generally worked ok but i hated that it wouldn't charge if i plugged in AFTER the programmed start time. so i switched to an outlet timer and turned off the charge timer in the...
