The same happened to me today - the Leaf was turned two months early, in its third year, with 26,809 miles and no bar losses (yet). My original lease was For 24 months, at $214.98/mo with a $2,700 down payment. I extended the lease by one year with Nissan paying for the first two months of the...

Lots of info but missing one that works for me: what's your efficiency rating? How many miles/ kWh? You seem to be in the correct modes to maximize that value. Mines' always has been 4.5 to 4.6 miles/kWh. Some Leafers get over 5 miles/kWh by being very strict about their driving habits. I...

Thought there was one on 190st in Torrance CA. I'll drive by it in the next day or so and report out

This seems to be a common problem. My brakes modulate well at faster speed then tend to grab at low speed. The software is definitely not too refined, though implementing two different braking biases because of B mode and regular mode complicates things. I wish Nissan would have done a better...

Awesome posts all!! I guess you'd call me a knowledgable ignorant, because as an engineer I don't care much for GIDS (though I do know Gary), since I manage the battery using the percent indicator. Works great for my 40-50 daily commute. I love that the car does not use energy [essentially]...

In my Leaf S, I don't worry about telematics for obvious reasons. Rather, I use my iPhone 6+ for Maps, and/or the ChargePoint and PlugShare apps. Works like a charm. I even ditched the Nuvi 40 I purchased for $100 since Maps works much better. One of my favorite features is the hands-free...

I think nothing of doing 55-60 miles per day with nothing but L1 charging at night. No problems at all, even with AC going full time. Frankly, I don't see the issue, conserving my car type and year.

Yup, underside of the front bumper. Those aren't elongated rust holes; rather that's substructure. No biggie.

Boy, I thought I was doing well at 4.6 but I guess not. It's been 4.6 for the past 2.5 years.

Very interesting and exciting story! I've never had either light come up, merely the GOM that starts to blink at 17 miles remaining. Since I live in SoCal, there are too many options to NOT charge whenever it get low. Congrats on the new car; I personally will never go back to an ICE for my...

My [now] three year lease is complete in May 2016, so I plan to lease another Leaf until early 2019 and then choose among the Model III, Leaf 2.0, Bolt (or whatever they call it), and any other entrant. I will not return to an ICE car, even a Volt 2.0, and I hope Nissan bites the bullet and...

Since our other car is a hybrid Highlander, driving it is not really different than the Leaf, except in two very important ways: (1) I forget to use the key to open the door, instead punching the door handle for the auto open button, and (2) I love the ease of having hands-free conversations...

Interesting post of notes; looking forward to the trip report. However, I don't plan to install a L2 charger at my home until this lease is up, in 2016. That's three years of trickle charging. Since my monthly bill for electricity still hovers around $40/month, I'd say L1 charging has worked...

Tom, what do you drive now? While I'm not satisfied with battery degradation, the rest of tune car and the customer service I've received have been top-notch! I fully plan to turn in the 2013 and get a 2016 for a 3 year lease, then purchase. Leaf, Bolt or Model E in 2019. By then, the dust...

I called NMAC about that very thing today and the person (a young woman) said once the paperwork is completed they'll credit two months of payments, in my case $214.98. So if the paperwork is complete by the end of the month, chances are I'll pay the early April payment but will be credited for...

While I agree with Tom, because one of the conditions is turning in the required paperwork within 18 months of lease commencement, I did it anyway by showing the additional one year lease agreement before the original two year lease agreement. It cost me $1.91 for scanning a few pages at Office...

How funny...when you said South Bay / peninsula I was thinking of just south of LAX.

Tom, that's what the technician said. I'm an engineer and know how Hall Effect sensors work. This sounds like it was a bad part. I'd love to get my hands on the part to do some failure analysis but that's unlikely. At least the plastic cover is being replaced...my new pup took a quick chew...

According to the Nossan technician, one of the three shifter contacts broke so I never could complete a fwd, neutral or reverse circuit. A new part is being shipped fron No Carolina so I'm driving a Versa Note as a loaner...it drives very nicely. Surprising actually!

Reverse. I valeted my Leaf for a week while on a business trip to get it charged and washed. Upon return, the car started properly but the shifter wouldn't move out of Park! For the Leaf S LCD display, I get indication 15 "Check Position of Shift Lever". The car has been towed home and I'll...
