    Lose the "Building Trees" on the head's up display

    Lose the trees. I agree. In fact, lose all the displays, fire the people who designed them, and use "Leaf Spy". I just got it, and I have fallen back in love with my LEAF. It has all the necessary info info laid out in an intelligent and useable way.

    What happened to "bigsoccer.com/topic/Nissan Leaf"?

    My favorite LEAF news site, "http://soccernews.bigsoccer.com/topic/Nissan_Leaf" disappeared about November 14. Now all that appears is the message: No CMS found. :-( Anybody else use this site? It was the best one out there for news about the LEAF, and I really miss it.

    Cell signal booster recommendation?

    I installed a signal booster 4 days ago. I now have an 86% success rate getting a battery charge update. Before the booster, it only worked 44% of the time. Still 14% failure rate is pretty high. Does anyone get better?

    Cell signal booster recommendation?

    I am going to try a Wi-Ex zBoost YX540. The LEAF uses (nearly antique) 2G for some reason. I read in another post that AT&T will be phasing out 2G by 2017. I wonder if the LEAF could be upgraded to 4G?

    Cell signal booster recommendation?

    Can anyone recommend a home cell phone phone signal booster? Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Electronics-Signal-Booster-Office/dp/B0014KOB6Y/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; AT&T is weak in my neighborhood, and non-existant in my garage.

    Back up camera in rain

    ebill3; I really like the turn signal sound (And my hearing is fine). I don't remember my Prius rear view camera getting so water spotted. Other than that, I do find the LEAF back up camera much more useful, with better resolution in marginal lighting, and the prediction lines that move with...

    New side marker light (Turn Signal)

    UkrainianKozak, The sticky back tape looked like a 3m copy (In the same font as 3M tape, the cover tape said "3WM"). I was a little nervous about the quality too, so I ran a tiny bead of silicone caulk around the top edge. It has been through several car washes. As for replacing the light, the...

    New side marker light (Turn Signal)

    Teg: The little box seemed to be a relay so that the light could be used as a running light AND a blinker. I just eliminated it. The flasher worked fine with no added resistor. The wires were really tiny... I soldered them to a "large" 18 guage wire, and put some shrink tubing around the splice.

    New side marker light (Turn Signal)

    I just replaced my side turn signal light. I thought the white plastic one looked cheap. What makes me nervous was the new one WAS cheap ($14 on EBay) http://www.ebay.com/itm/170794656954?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3007wt_1266" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

    Consistent button positions for Bluetooth phone usage

    Thanks for pointing that out snadra; I wondered why I kept getting to the "Handset" when I aimed for the hangup.

    E-1 vs E9a I'm so confused

    DeaneG, EEk! I switched to E-9 in November and I am saving about $60/month. I saw the summer rates, but didn't see the part where you couldn't switch rates "every six months". Where is this written? I need to read the fine print to look for loopholes!

    What's your car charging experience been like? MIT Designers

    I charge at home only at night. There is only one public charging station near my house and I have never used it. I would hate to depend on it because it takes up to 6 hours, and if it were being used that would be a long wait. My 220 volt level 2 charger is mounted on my garage wall. It is...

    Your decision to go E-9B (with PG&E)?

    I wanted to get a second meter installed but the local building department would not approve it. I'm glad. In the 3 months I have been on E-9 with one meter I have saved an average of $70 per month, even though my usage has increased. However, I don't know what will happen in the summer; unlike...

    Consumer’s Union: EVs cost a lot less per mile

    Quote: "Plug-ins cost more to buy. A lot more. A Volt goes for about $44k, and a Leaf for about $35k, while you can have a Prius for about $27k." I don't know why they don't mention the $7,500 dollar tax credit. And here in CA, another $2,500 rebate.

    Software Upgrade? Feb 2012

    DON'T DO IT. None of the little annoyances were fixed. The only noticeable change is the continuous beeping when a door is opened when dropping someone off or picking them up. Oh, also my charge timer was turned off. Luckily I checked the charge on carwings the next day early enough that I had...
