The Leaf was amazing. A fun experiment if anything else but overall a bad experience in car buying. Now that i know what to look for, I don't think i'd be going with anything less that 30Kwh. Really would love to get another one to be quite honest.

Good News Everyone! (Futurama anybody?) Just got off the phone with Carvana and they had approved my return citing that the repair cost was indeed exceeding the value of the car. I believe that after explaining that they had sold me a car designed to fail with proper care and maitainence with...

34 miles on the GOM on eco as i pulled away from the driveway. 4 miles of range left as i pulled into work today after 31 miles at aprox. 55mph average. Slight uphill. Defrosting is a non-issue. Where i live, it gets that cold maybe a month out of the year. At that point i'd just run the...

Car has both features. I tend to neglect climate control altogether (even in the current triple digit weather). What benefit would the switch have if i rarely if ever need to run the heater?

Timeline says in-house test fleet to rollout end of this year with packs for lease to projected to start installation early next year. The merger with a charge station network gives me a bit of faith.

Carvana is royally pissing me off this morning. 1 hr of phone calls to be told that nothing is to be done in my favor to make the situation right and i'm stuck with them either buying the car back at a huge loss to me or trading in within their system and affixing to their financing (when i...

Update: spoke to a rep who seemed to give a damn finally. Told him about my experience and am having things elevated to higher management plus have a 2017 nissan versa at a comparable price locked in for 3 days while i get things sorted out. Hope to give a good word on Carvana by the end of...

Don't have that in writing unfortunately. Have my buddy as a witness to my vehicle dropoff and test drive and could attest to that statement said??? I don't know

Stupid carvana rep told me it lived most of it life in Texas (true according to carfax) and that saltwater air was the main cause of degradation and that i had nothing to worry on that part.

Looks like i should have done my homework. I regret my purchase wholeheartedly though i love my leaf. I just wish it had just 10-15 more miles of range. I drive it as economically as i can in 90 degree so-cal weather and get the 35 miles the GOM tells me it is. Don't know what to expect in the...

Someone left me with a swipe in a parking lot. Carvana refused to accept the 7 day return. I feel stuck.

Bought a 2012 Sl from Carvana without knowing anything about EVs. Sadly i shoulda done my homework as it looks like Carvana didn't. 7 bars at 33,500 miles. 35 miles at 100% battery. Closing price was $10,200 at 18.25% apr. Thought i was getting a deal as they claimed it still had its 80 miles of...
