    Nitrogen in the Tires?

    My 2014 S came with new Ecopia Plus tires from Costco, which have green valve stem caps, meaning they are nitrogen filled. 1) When did Costco start doing that, and 2) Is it a total scam, as suggested by Fifth Gear's video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmnZ4-EUbIk

    AmazingE ESVE?

    I caved to the popup ads on this site and ordered the "AmazingE" portable ESVE from Amazon. Its "3.8KW of goodness" is a fine match for the 3.6 kW OBC in my 2014 Leaf S, and my garage already has a 240V 30A dryer outlet, so it seems like a no-brainer for this car anyway. I didn't find any...

    Toolkit?

    Sorry, noob question. The toolkit in my used Leaf has the 3 metal parts shown on the top left of the photo at https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/mSYAAOSwDZtZ2iuO/s-l500.jpg No jack, obviously . What do I use these for, especially that big beautifully threaded eyebolt? OK, lugnut wrench I can...

    Brake Fluid Changes & Maintenance

    Honestly? Required maintenance? Never heard of that. Annually? That's really unlikely. What's the rationale? Is Nissan just creating new maintenace requirements to make some money? With regen braking, isn't there LESS brake system wear and tear than an ICE car? Annual cabin air filter...

    3.3KW Regrets?

    I'm looking at a 2014 S with just the 3.3KW charger. Pretty good price (asking $7500, maybe less) on a clean, local 12-bar car with 30K miles. It's a cheap first electric car. Will I regret being limited to that 3.3kW charger? Seems like that slow charge rate won't help much to recharge out on...

    Short Range

    Looking at this 2014 S model: https://www.carfax.com/Used-Nissan-Leaf_w536#vdp=1N4AZ0CP3EC331475 Dash pic shows 12 bars, fully charged, range 66 miles on guess-o-meter. I expected higher. Does that seem right? Is that range based on a previous leadfoot's driving style?

    Why Do Leafs Go to Auction?

    I'm using Carfax to shop around for a 2014 or newer Leaf, and I can see each car's history. Most of them were sold at auction. For instance, https://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistory/p/Report.cfx?partner=CUL_1&vin=1N4AZ0CP9FC302418&compCode=3TXOkBQ9Gt1K8apOCxLpM43tWkSiC%2FHF ... was bought &...

    2015 Leaf, 42K Miles, 12 Bars?

    Leaf wannabe here. Looking at a 2015 Leaf on a used car lot. Is that possible to still have 12 bars at 42K miles, or has someone tricked the battery? Southern California, hot area. Salesman says the guy was fast charging at both ends of a 50 mile (each way) commute for 2 years. Any thoughts? TIA.
