    Yeah... service???? What's that? LOL. Go to the dealership and hunt for dealer coupons online or via their service department e-mail lists. I find dealer coupons for tire rotations occasionally for $9.95 - $19.95 and some other dealer service coupons for "$10 off or $15 off any...

    If by "THEY" you mean Tesla and if by this post you mean "Does the Tesla store let you sit in the Model 3 if you visit the Gold Coast Location that has one on display?" Then the answer is yes! :-). Sit in, open doors, frunks, and trunks, play with the screen, have a ball!

    You must have made a similar days adventure as I did. Went to the Auto Show.. then lunch... then Tesla Gold Coast. Pretty awesome! Seeing the Model 3 was awesome for me and the highlight of my day as I'm a Day 1 Reservation holder who waited since 6am and was about 15-20th in line at...

    Braking Behavior

    I've noticed the same thing over the 3 years I've had my '13 and it is a bit unnerving! Interesting to know others have experienced the same thing.

    Nice work... Reading through here, after having not visited in a while, it does indeed seem that we got through just in time! Kudos on getting at least part of the $1,500 RPM incentive and that 0% financing too! WOW. Happy Leaf'n!

    T/M Vehicle System Malfunction Warning

    Had this happen to me tonight in my 2013 SL with 56k miles on it and all 12 bars. Specifically charged to 100% due to various trips I was making today. Intent was to charge again to 80% after draining to 40-60% and then use that for the remaining trip home. Arrived at my destination with...

    See my most recent other reply to LeftieBiker and check out this article... http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1098384_2012-2013-nissan-leaf-electric-cars-get-5000-lease-buyout-credit That's how I got it done! And yes, probably just needed to hit numbers since I did go March 30th... end of...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Exactly! I read about it last year in the following article: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1098384_2012-2013-nissan-leaf-electric-cars-get-5000-lease-buyout-credit In remembering the article, I asked NMAC while on the phone verifying the $7,500 incentive. They said this was indeed...

    ... was offered 7500 NMAC credit towards payoff of 2013 leaf

    FWIW, I was offered the $7,500 NMAC buyout incentive and was told by NMAC about the dealer incentives that existed (up to $1,500) and that I had read about in EV articles. Finding a dealer that would give me both was tough but I did it! $9k off. See below thread...

    Final anticipated update to this story as I have BOUGHT my 2013 Nissan LEAF SL out of it's lease. The outcome was basically something like this... Day 1, Dealer #1: Glendale Nissan; Glendale Heights, IL: Current Payoff Value $17,143 - $7,500 = $9,643 + $300 Purchase Fee = $9,943 +...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Thought I'd post an update to this after spending a good portion of my day going from dealer to dealer seeing if anyone could get me a better End-Of-Lease buyout deal (which had gone up to $7,500 in March from my $6k offer in February.) I heard there were certain dealer incentives (up to...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    I called NMAC today and indeed my offer went up from $6000 to $7500 and I have until the end of the month to decide. Of course, it could be the same next month or it could go up or down. From what I hear, this is the highest offer that has ever been available so I am even more tempted to do...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    I wonder why you got $7500 of the residual? Perhaps that is the March Offer? I, and others as it seems, got $6000 off residual for February's offer. I might have to call tomorrow. My LEAF is also a 2013 but an SL model and due in June. Hmmmm?

    End of Lease Strategies?

    I do like the car, a lot. I am very much thinking of buying it out with the discount offers NMFAC seems to be giving as it will indeed lower my monthly payment costs given the right length of financing. I am just worried about the gamble of if the buyout discount offer goes up or down. If it...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Hello all, After reading pretty deep into this lengthy thread (back to early 2015 or so) I have concluded that many of you are interested in extending your leases while some of you, like myself, are interested in taking various "buyout discounts" that have been offered. It is my...

    I too attended the Napervile NDEW event yesterday and had a great time. I might have seen your Red Leaf but I'm not sure. I don't tend to pay much attention to the LEAF's since I already drive one and pretty much know everything I need to know about it. I guess I could spend more time...

    Agreed, the PlugShare app is by far THE best when looking for public charging stations. I highly recommend using it and adding informational "check-ins" and even pictures when possible. That is how people find the stations, know that they are working, and plan ahead. I use it all the time...

    Would be sweet if they had it on-site but as far as I know, they did not last year. I do know that Al Piemonte Nissan's L3 charger is not behind locked gates in Melrose Park, IL (even on Sundays and/or after business hours). Their L2 chargers are however... furthermore Star Nissan on Touhy...
