    Are you planning to reserve Tesla Model 3 ?

    No doubt. One thing is certain. If you think you will want one and are not an employee or an existing Tesla owner, placing a deposit in store on the 31st will get you the car sooner than if you wait to do it online or at a later date.

    Are you planning to reserve Tesla Model 3 ?

    Leaf owner - placing deposit in store. For me, the model 3 is highly likely to fix the three biggest deficiencies see in my Leaf: 1) Low range - particularly given I live in the mountains and have cold, snowy winters. 2) Charging network - I cannot go beyond my local metro area with the Leaf...

    people getting rid of their Leafs/EVs/PHEVs and going back to ICEVs

    For me, the Leaf has 3 main disadvantages: 1) Range - fine in the summer, not quite what I need in the winter 2) Charging network - no level 3 chargers on major routes I would like to travel a half dozen times a year 3) Battery degradation - summer range won't even be enough for me an a few...

    Chevrolet Bolt & Bolt EUV

    Fair points. Depending on your use case and priorities, it can make sense or be a poor decision.

    Chevrolet Bolt & Bolt EUV

    I see both of your points, but you also paint a worse case scenario. Some rental agencies will pick you up and you're paying for the privilege of having your own ICE vehicle with increased operating costs. In addition, ICE ownership also comes with the joy found in spending time and gas driving...

    Chevrolet Bolt & Bolt EUV

    I agree and believe that's flawed logic. My leaf is my only car, but I still have the occassional need for a car that can go farther and outside of my nearby charging network and also for a pickup. I save money, not to mention reduced pollution, if I just rent as needed. My area also has a...

    Electric-Car Buyers Not As Loyal To The Plug As They Think

    I realize you are speaking in generalizations, but without data to draw on, I'll at least submit my anecdotal experience. I make under $100k/yr, am a homeowner, and with deductions still pay over $7500 annually in Federal taxes. I don't know how many others might be in a similar situation, Just...

    Electric cars worth the (Public) cost?

    He's right about one thing, people are anxious about range. I think *some* of those people irrationally so, given their daily driving or existing ownership of 2nd ICE vehicle. However, to bring up Federal subsidies for electric vehicles without covering the fed and state subsidies given to...

    Electric-Car Buyers Not As Loyal To The Plug As They Think

    Although those numbers may be similar for BEV follow up purchases, I'd be interested to see if they differ when split out from plugin hybrids. I can understand going back to ICE for those who's situation changes or who bought EV's to save money or get HOV lane access. Personally, I went EV to...

    New recall? P5327 for electronic brake boost in cold temps.

    I had this done over the weekend and agree that D mode does seem to have less regen and the brakes are less grabby. Both positives to me. B-mode seems the same as does Eco. I also prefer pure coasting, except for when in hilly and/or predominately downhill stretches of driving. However, quite...

    New recall? P5327 for electronic brake boost in cold temps.

    I realize you may not use B-mode, but if you have tried it since the service, did you noticeable changes? On a side note, I'd also prefer "D" mode have be a coast mode, but as you say opinions vary. I'd also still want a "B" mode with high regen. The ability to chose either as the default mode...

    New, Used, 2016 or wait?

    I'd go with a 2015 or 2016 on lease rather than buy. Which one would depend on your mileage needs and how close of a deal you can get between the two. If I were doing it over again, i would not currently buy. Used prices seem really low, range loss is too great (for me) to own more than a few...

    No cell services: check charge state & climate control timer

    Thank you, I should have known I could set the climate control timer from within the car and it would work regardless of cellular connection. Too bad about checking charge status without cellular. Would love to be able to do this with a wifi ODB2 adapter.

    No cell services: check charge state & climate control timer

    My home's location has no cell service of any kind. I searched the forums and it appears that means there is no way for me to check the Leaf's charging status or have the climate control turn on automatically when it is at my house without going to the car itself and turning on accessory mode...

    Which Dealers "Get" Leafs? How to tell in advance?

    I'll second the ask and you'll quickly know scenario. I found dealer knowledge of the Leaf varied widely across my area. Just asking about charging do's and dont's or what amperage to have for a dedicated 240 circuit at your house should be enough to know. In addition, you might ask if anyone at...

    Will 150-200 miles of range change your driving habits?

    It would be nice, but I would not need it, so it would depend on the extra cost. I traded in my only car for my leaf, so I get along with its range just fine right now. Getting to remote trailheads is the only time I want to go beyond the Leaf range. At present I am restricted to about 40 miles...

    Does Dealership Matter?

    No doubt the information Nigel provided is available elsewhere. It does provide an example of a dealer that knows the car well and gives reliable advice about the car pre-sale. Given the price was just about the same when I was looking across these dealers, supporting the dealer that knew the...

    Does Dealership Matter?

    I worked with those dealers before ultimately going with Boulder Nissan over Valley Nissan. Autonation was cut first due to a lack of knowledge from the salesmen and a poor plugshare comment history for their charging. Boulder is the closest for me, so that was a plus, but it was their...
