Hello All,
I'm new to MNL and am very happy to have found this group as it has been an abundance of information so far.
I am proud to announce that we are anxiously looking forward to taking delivery of our new LEAF SL early next week and are extremely excited (and nervous) about this new addition to our family.
I feel we're taking a great leap of faith with our LEAF, but not for the common "range anxiety" reasons...
Our big concern is that we live in a state where LEAFs are not available yet, and we live hundreds of miles from the nearest certified LEAF service center. My local Nissan dealer said they have already allocated space for their chargers, and [expect] to be installing them plus certifying their service center by the end of the year, but were hesitant about giving exact dates. So basically we'll be on our own in the meantime.
As I mentioned, I'm not too concerned about range or the lack of charging infrastructure in our city because a) We have a second vehicle. b) We're close to most places we frequent. For reference: We drive the car we'll be replacing (an old Prius) about 20 miles a day [total]. At that rate, I suspect even trickle charging our LEAF nightly would be overkill for us.
However, since we're months from having a local LEAF certified service center, my question is this:
Have any LEAF owners here had problems that you needed to bring you car into the service center for?
Thanks in advance for any information, help and/or advice,
Julio
ps. Despite our concerns I feel [interestingly] more excited about owning/driving our new LEAF than any other car we've ever purchased.
