After 2 yrs / 23k miles of trouble free driving, I'm preparing to turn in the lease next week, when the Leaf threw all sorts of dash lights at me - BRAKE, ABS, Traction Control, and maybe others. I immediately stop driving and get it into Nissan dealer. Here's what they're telling me. 1)...

I leased a Leaf in 2013 in Colorado. Long story short I trusted TurboTax with my 2013 taxes and they completely ignored my Colorado State EV tax credit so I got nothing. I'm going to refile on paper and do it correctly to get the money! I know you have the choice to do either the 2010-2013 or...

My lease ends March 30th 2015 but I'm getting my new car in February and have no use for it (nor a garaged space for it) for Feb + March. So anywhere from 4-8 weeks it could be sitting outside and potentially get hailed on. :o Is there any downside to giving them the car early? I don't care...

So I had a pretty crappy experience last week bringing the car in for 2 recalls, having them reprogram the door locks, and tire rotation. The work wasn't done properly on the locks so I had to make another appt and go back in again. But I had a multitude of complaints, which is a first for...

I'm 2/3 of the way through my lease, at about 16k miles, and the tires are bald. I've rotated them but it's not solving the problem obviously. I read the warranty to say that these have a 65k mileage wear warranty, and that I'll get a prorated discount on a new set - so 16/65 = ~ 25%, so I'll...

Went 105 miles the other night on a whim to pick up a Craigslist purchase. I have never charged outside my home before, and found a Walgreens en route I figured I'd get a little boost from. I thought they all were free. I pulled up to the charger and it was a fee-based unit that required an...

So we search for a restaurant, say SWEET TOMATOES. (That's SouPlantation to some of you ;) ) It starts showing a list of them. Except nothing near me. Always starting with Tucson, AZ. (I'm in the Denver, CO area). We have to wait for more than a page of results to populate before the word...

I've been driving a Leaf for 3 weeks and have discovered three things that I'm wondering if people could comment on. 1) Can the doors be programmed to unlock when you go into Park? It's annoying to have to manually unlock the door when I'm getting the mail every day. (Yes, I know they unlock...

After a long week of baloney after signing the paperwork, we finally got the car last night. The dealer met me halfway (dealership is 50 miles from my house) with the car. As I drive away the car is pulling to the left. Literally 30 seconds later, the lights go on alerting me to a flat tire...

The local Costco dealer won't be honest with me about it so I'm curious if anyone has gotten the Costco printout for the 2013 yet? (All the local guy will say is "well Costco usually isn't a great deal compared to the Nissan financing blah blah blah".

I've been so patient for so long :mrgreen: I can't believe it's going to take this long to get some inventory in Colorado!

I've got the Schneider EV2430WS 30-amp EVSE ready to be installed. I'm confused about the wiring instructions and I'm hoping someone here is enough of an expert to guide me. 30 amps use 10 gauge wiring, but the installation manual for this EVSE says this: 8 gauge / 40 amp setup. I'm...

So let's say I am going to lease the 2013 SL which has a promotion for $1,703 down and $296/m for 36 months. Before taxes and tags, that's $12,359 spent over 36 months. Probably the dealer throws on $499 for their BS. But somewhere around $12k is what I'd spend total. (Plus tax and tags) I...

I've read that some locales have tax credits/rebates for getting an EVSE. Does Colorado? I can't find anything about this online, which doesn't bode well, but couldn't hurt to ask! Thanks. :mrgreen:

I've never placed a pre-order at a car dealer before, has anyone done a 2013 order yet? (SL in Metallic Slate with all the trimmings for me) Do you have place a deposit? Is it binding? Do you still negotiate the price? If so, when (now, or after the car is in?) Thanks.

I'm asking this of DEALERS (or individuals who know the answer) - please don't reply if you aren't a dealer. Any word on when the 2013 models can be ordered? Given they should be in production in 2 months and on the road sometime thereafter, I'm wondering if you've received an ETA on that...

Just curious - I think I just have to put the VIN, purchase date, price, etc., on my taxes to get the rebate. But figured it was better to double check. If I buy a Leaf out of state, I do still qualify for the state rebate (Colorado), correct?

This is the place to tell jokes that have nothing to do with the Leaf. :lol:

I see that the Aero/Nissan says is can be networked. What good is that?
