I've been following this forum for the past couple months and what I find crazy from reading all these posts is how careful you guys have been with your cars and yet are still having problems (referring to the hot weather people), but even for the people in cooler weather, all the precautions and knowledge you have to have.
When you bought your cars, did the sales guy go over all these things about not charging to 100% all the time? Or not letting it sit at 100% or not QCing too often or are these items you learned about from the owner's manual or here on the forums? When I was planning on leasing a while back, I figured I would plug the car in every night to 100% so that I had the range in case I needed it the next day. Only after reading on here that it's not good to do that I learned you're not supposed to.
Maybe it's just me but I think it's nuts to have to be this careful driving your car. Imagine if ICE cars were like this and you had to monitor every little thing and be so careful. I really had no idea that these cars were this high maintenance, I thought you could pretty much drive them like a normal car except for the plugging in part. Being a Nissan LEAF owner sounds like it can be a pretty stressful experience.
