I have have experienced similar results after replacing the worn Ecopias with slightly used Driveguards (16 inch SV rims). Efficiency dropped from 4.0 lead footing to 3.0, hypermiling from 5.0 to no more than 4.1. The colder weather may have some impact, but the drop was immediate and lasting...

Just a quick note to add another successful 3G upgrade to the list. Carwings responded on the third day after installation and after a full day of sitting in a strong signal area (not the house). 3G Signal is stronger in our driveway (worked once in a year before, works 9/10 times now in the...

31k miles after a few weeks of hovering between 85 and 84 % SOH. It's been hot here in central NC so I assume that had something to do with bar finally dropping. This is an early 2013 build SV.

If you aren't against putting used tires on you car, check out bestusedtires.com. I went with a set from them based on some other poster's experience. I think they are pretty popular with the 'returning a leased car soon' crowd as the half worn tires are quite cheap. Do your research and be...

I'll chime in here with some data with our 2013 for comparison to the OP's poor consumption rate. This is a 2013 SV (QC/LED and premium) with 86% SOH (jumps up to 88 on occasion) and 56.5 Ahr (I've also seen over 57). Car is on original Ecopias @ 40psi On Sunday we tested the range with the...

After reading this post, well at least most of it, I bought and installed these in my 2013 SV QC/LED. Took all of five minutes to install. I did grind the metal tab a bit as the original poster and shimmed the bulb with zip ties exactly as the original poster did. Lights are VERY bright...

Sounds similar to my experience in March buying a 2013 SV with 26k miles. Started at 89% SOH (after a complete discharge and a trickle back up to 100% SOC). Dropped to 85% in a month. Early 2013 build, so maybe old battery chemistry? It's back up to 87% after 2000 miles so I'm not too...

So just an update after almost 1500 miles in the first month (we love the car!): The SOH % has hovered between 86 and 88. Mostly L2 charging to 80% with a 100% charge once a week. I think, and this is very anecdotal, that an L1 trickle to 100% seems to help the SOH number go up a bit. A few...

I just had a blank, fresh new OEM fob programmed at the dealer. $150. Ouch. At least they cut the blank key. Got the fob $125 shipped and the aftermarket key blank (not very high quality and has a metal loop hole) for $7. They mentioned, if one believes them, that 2013 fobs/cars can only be...

Looks perfect. Just ordered it on your recommendation.

Thanks, this was very helpful. I always defer to the original OEM designed blades when possible.

The dealer found the original SD card and after a quick reboot the NAV is up and running. Bose system sounds great! Nav is much less clunky than expected and charging stations just downloaded. $125 new oem key fob is in the mail from http://stores.ebay.com/genuineoemnissanparts/. I think it...

Thanks to all the incredible information in this forum I was able to make an eyes-wide-open purchase of a used Leaf. 2013 (early build) SV with QC and Premium. So far so good (except for no SD card, so no sweet BOSE tunes yet or any way to set the charge timer). When I Leaf-Spied it the day I...

Got it, but not sure if I can recommend the dealer. Too many little things that I thought would be with the car (charger bag, floor mats) I felt I had to argue for inclusion in the price. ($11.7k including everything but state specific fees/taxes/registration/inspection) And the car wasn't...

Should get the used 2013 tomorrow hopefully. LeafSpy and OBD adapter at the ready for final battery health confirmation. I'm hoping for 12 strong bars SOH number, let's say over 88%. 87 and below and I'll have to mull it over. Dealer (mobile home in gravel lot does not exude confidence) just...

I also just found a '13 SV with QC and premium for $11.5k Registered and maintained in Northern Virginia which I think plays in its favor for less battery degradation from the heat. 12 bars and 25k miles. Tires at 7/32nds. I even like the color! I think I'm going to pull the trigger on it...

Was this ever confirmed? This car has 25k miles and has 12 bars (OBD2 scanner is in the mail and ready for leaf spy when I go back tomorrow) I imagine the MY2013 changes to everything but the battery are still an improvement including charge and discharge controls to lessen degradation. Okay...

http://insideevs.com/used-nissan-leaf-buying-guide/ After reading this it sounds like the MY2013 was a complete redesign under the hood. The used car lot I've been in negotiations with that moves LOTS of Leafs doesn't even buy anything older than 2013. I'm likely going to get an SV with...

I'm also in the hunt for a 2013 and found this handy chart for options on the MY2013: http://insideevs.com/2013-nissan-leaf-overview-and-specifications/ QC was standard on the SL along with the LED headlights.
