Hit 20,000 miles on Monday, exactly 11 months since purchase. Not one issue to speak of, 20,000 miles of carefree driving. Anyone else close?

40K a year ?!TaylorSFGuy said:Yes, I'm already over 22,000 at not quite 7 months. I agree the car has been pretty much trouble free so far.

DaveinOlyWA said:20,000 miles in six months verse two years will be dramatically different. But with low mileage I personally think wee won't see much effects for the first three years whether it be 100,000 or30,000.
Herm, I enjoy reading your posts and respect your opinion, but I'm surprised to see how persistent these rumors are. I've seen this on MNL many times, but there is not a shred of evidence in support of this. On the contrary, empirical data and the charts published by AESC, the cell manufacturer, hint that total battery capacity is 24kWh with about 21kWh usable. Personally, I think that rumors like this one might be adequate when the vehicle is in prototype stage, but we are past that stage now. I'm surprised to see how many folks insist on the 28-30kWh number.Herm said:A lot depends on how much total capacity the battery has, is it 28kwh, 27kwh or 24kwh?.. if the maximum usable capacity is 21kwh then that works out to a conservative usage of only 75% of the batteries capacity... 200k miles total life should be doable.
I wish Kadota-san made a statement in this regard last Saturday, but alas that discussion was drowned out by the uproar stirred by a Nissan QA guy inquiring about the DTE indicator.I know there's been some chatter out there about the LEAF having a larger battery pack than what Nissan has said, but I can tell you that in conversation with Nissan engineers they swear that the pack is indeed only 24 kWh and there is no funny business going on.

What are your daily charging patterns? Probably L2? Any quick charging yet?
When did you guys take your cars in for rotations/battery checks, etc?
