Do You Sit in Your Car When it's Parked?

I go out to my Leaf while it's charging in the garage fire up the climate control and play with the systems. Sometimes I forget the fob and I have to back in the house.

Perhaps there is a way I could have a device implanted under my skin that would serve the fob function?

Hmm...

The first time I set the charging and climate control timers in the garage with the car "running" I caught myself thinking. I'm in the closed garage with the car running, I have to shut it off!

You might have to wear a metal "Michael Jackson" glove, to keep thieves from stealing your car keys! :lol:

At day 3 with the car, I keep thinking (every time I pass a gas station), hmmm, wonder if I need gas yet? Doh !!!!

Wow! IMHO, you need to see a shrink. :mrgreen:

I imagine charging away from home on L2 (and L3) will have some of us napping in the car now and then. Do the front seats recline?

Every time I pass gas, I just blame it on the dog. (Actually, I don't have a dog.)

The front seats are very comfortable when fully reclined. You could sleep there.

Must be a great feeling, TonyWilliams, to have the realization that you'd ONLY be stopping for snacks! Ever want to honk and wave as your glide by?

I have had the same thought about "idling" in the LEAF...oh, I am going to get CO poisoning. oh, I am going to overheat it. oh, I can't run the AC without the engine running. oh, I need to pass this car....will my little car have enough umph? oh, where are my keys? as I grope to put the key in the ignition and a million other ICE habits I am trying to break! :lol:

My wife gives me a hard time about sitting in the car playing with stuff, like I'm in love with it (which I am). Feeling like there is something going on she said "I saw you out there....... inside of HER" :lol: :lol: :lol:

The house AC is broken, so Thursday it was 97 degrees when I got home. Grabbed a pillow, activated the climate control with my phone, reclined the seat and had a great nap

I left the A/C running while messing with the phone setup, and by the time I was done, the rear right wheel was sitting in a puddle of condensed water. So you don't have to worry about CO, but H2O buildup.
