Wow, Eric, that's more information than I've had a chance to figure out about my LEAF! :lol: I have yet to take time to set up my XMRadio, but the account is set up. I went to the DMV today and picked up my personal plates and the registrar did my registration wrong - had to do it all over again manually. She didn't do it as electric. Ya think the personal plate would've given her a clue, G'BYGAS, had she not just been putting up with my registration (she had 13 years experience!). Had to convince her I had to buy the alternate fuel decal and it s/b prorated (but they don't have decals - oh yes they did!). Took over an hour and a half standing there working with her and 3 other clerks to get it right. And I still didn't get the tax credit difference between the LEAF purchase and sale of my other car (couldn't find documents, which I found later in my purse :roll: ), so have to submit to the State for a refund (tomorrow). I think it killed her to apologize after the first hour! I did get all of them interested in my LEAF though, showing a couple pics and explaining how it works. I was their first 100% electric car registration, downtown at the State Office Building (SOB) DMV. They were unprepared, even though my registrar was competent. She's lucky I'm nice and didn't go postal like a lot of the other clients there do! But I'm a nice person and that would've made things much worse.
I've also had drivers leaning their cars into my lane just gawking (eek!), which is highly unnerving :!: The night I brought the car home, I had a semi on my butt so close coming down I-29 (in the middle lane) I was about to freak! The passing lane was fee and open.
Nobody has stopped me yet to talk about my car, but I get plenty of stares. Somebody PLEASE talk to me!
Tom hasn't taken delivery yet, so no get together with all 3 of us just yet, but soon. Eric, I would be glad to meet you before then and ogle your Leaf, since I haven't seen you in the wild
. Driveway chat or public place like Walgreens to play with their EVSE?? Union Station parking lot? Maybe you can help me with some features I haven't yet learned or discovered.
In the meantime (with my plate installed), I'm waving at gas stations (in my mind
)!
