Hey everyone! My name is Shellee and I live in SoCal. I purchased a pre-owned Leaf last Wednesday and have fallen completely in love! It's a 2011 SL with the QC port in Blue Ocean. The previous owner was having to drive too far for work and moved over to a hybrid. It is a year old, has about 8,000 miles on it and still looks brand new! I got it for a great price and absolutely LOVE all the extras. I only live a mile or so from my office, so it is the perfect car to keep me emissons free and saving on gas.
Favorites so far: It auto syncs with my iPhone when I get in and I can play my iTunes wirelessly. Also, set up the XM radio and am totally loving that. Of course, the back up camera is amazing. Haven't got to use the Carwings yet, because the Nissan website isn't recognizing my VIN, so I have to call and get that sorted out.
My only complaint at this point is how long it takes to charge. I am going to get the 240v home charger eventually, just have to save a little. There are a couple stations close to home, so I have just dropped it off there for a few if needed. I don't have any quick charge stations near my home, but I've heard those aren't good to use often anyway?
Do any of you pros have advice on keeping my energy up or any other secrets to the gas-free life? I read about a bunch of rebates from the state and federal governments, will a pre-owned still qualify for those rebates? I ordered my vanity plate last night, SPK4TRS. I'm a big Dr Seuss fan and I think it totally applies in this situation.
Thanks in advance for your comments and I am really excited to be here and hear from you all!
