Eeeeeeyahhhhh! Stickers arrived yesterday, about a month after the dealer sent the check. Just in time for the expected increase in freeway traffic with schools back in session after Labor Day. 17 months and $42000 later, I am a happy man, back solo in the hov lanes, until Jan 1, 2015. The...

Car delivered 6/18; title with plate number assignment 7/31; application submitted with fees by dealer 8/3 (had to push them, and they initially filled out the application on my behalf and it was an eligible mess; I instead gave them a nicely printed download copy from the DMV website); physical...

When I picked up my car 2 weeks ago, the dealer rep said he was pretty sure Nissan was already in R&D stages on a new battery that would be released in 2+ years that had at least 150 mile range and could be installed in the existing Leafs--but at owner expense. Likely to be costly. Will be...

I can confirm from my own experience that what you say is true: no audio files on the empty SD slot. I was hoping to copy the hundreds of music files from my compact flash card that inserts and hides in my Honda Civic nav and in essence functions as my iPod. No luck, so I am going to purchase...

Yup, or so I suppose. Once again, I state the car should have an automatic power down when left on, even purposefully, for XX hrs. I say one hour with programmable override. What happened to me is very probably a user error but inexcusable the car does not have such protection built in...

Quite a story. At least you got back to the car before the main battery was fully drained. I maintain that strong visual (nav or main dash: "Power is OFF") and auditory (nav: "Power is OFF") signals should be programmed in. It would not be intrusive. Currently, the glow in the power...

Ahem, the car is back from a day at the dealer. While there is no absolute proof, examination found 3 error codes that led to a "fail safe state" indicating with strong probability that DUMMY here, aka 704hov1095, to whom thousands trust their loved ones for complex medical diagnosis, exited...

You may be right. But we'll see if the only verdict at the dealer is that the battery is fully drained. You think it would be able to charge when fully dead, no?

Electronic crash, that is. Delivered 6/18 and drove just fine for 2 days, including recharging both with my AV L2 and trickle charging at work with L1 unit. Returned home from work 2 nites ago with approx. 12 residual miles, plugged it back into the L2 and went to bed. As I got up yesterday...

Thanks. Nick of time is putting it nicely. I certainly hope few if anyone else went through the same predicament (wait) as I did. Hard to say from the spreadsheet. For those who ordered as late as Jan-Feb, etc., loss of the full rebate is a risk they took. Then again, looking at the...

Looks like Nissan won't have me breathing fire down their necks. I was the one who filed his online rebate app with CVRP last evening BEFORE taking delivery. This am I received an email from CVRP stating they had accepted my application and my full rebate was being reserved. They saw the 6/15...

Thanks for the tip. I'll resubmit as I get up tomorrow or at the dealer a few hours later, although CRVP probably won't review my first submission until tomorrow since it was submitted at 7P today. This almost as bad as my original order circumstance: I submitted my order in September (2010...

I don't see how one can do this, since you need the email acceptance from the Rebate Project to proceed. I already submitted my online application as soon as I heard the car arrived, but, again, without acceptance of the application and without their receipt of the hard copy materials, I can't...

It would appear that those of us just getting cars this week are doomed re: full CA rebate. From the Clean website, It appears they are processing about $100K per day, meaning about 7 days until the monies are depleted. I have to figure more than 7 days' of applications are in the pipeline...
