What do you make of this post about never rotating and all tires wearing evenly? :unsure:

Oh noooo. Well that sucks! So there's something to lower rolling resistance LOL. Then I doubt that moving them to back will change anything. Edit: Sent while above was posted. I trust @knightmb over my guess so... But check the max PSI of the new tires. My cold weather 39 had my tires at 44...

Is this new tire on the front? If so, perhaps rotate it with the same side rear. I've seen one tire larger than another throw off the traction control. Just a thought...

Unplugging it will throw a DTC (error code) and leave you with a yellow warning light on the dash display.

But VSP (sounds) cannot be turned off in LeafSpy on later MY Leafs. Nissan has prevented this, most likely after they realized someone other than themselves could do it.

That's truly remarkable. You wrote elsewhere you changed your tires - but not yourself right?

Completely different forces going on here so this makes no sense. Lug bolts never move. The axle has significant forces being applied in both directions constantly. Why with paying customers do you do it right (and is it per the SM you like to bring up going by)? But you and you family are...

I press the release on the handle and wait for the contactors to click open. Oddly if you wait any longer the car starts to beep at you.

Frankly I wouldn't trust anything that they say!

I didn't need to move the wheels. Holding the axle firmly in while greasing, I could see from the bottom and top where I was greasing without getting grease on anything else.

Since it's standard practice by many car manufactures to stake to absolutely guarantee that it's not going to move, why would you think anything else is better? Are you trying to save a $5 nut for next time?

As mentioned elsewhere on MNL, that doesn't test what's in the calipers which is the the lowest point in the system that gathers the heavier water. Brake fluid absorbs about 1% moisture per year, and 3% and less moisture is considered safe. Above 3% is not. This is why the recommendations above...

I ended up drilling out the stake (parallel to the key) once it was mostly lifted because I was afraid to damage the threads. They do stake the mother hard. It was also brutal to get the nut to initially turn. One took a wrench to take off. I got better and #2 was just over hand tight coming...

I have yet to see anything published that shows significant damage is done to the latest Nissan battery chemistry using DCFC. If the battery is getting too warm, then the charge rate may significantly drop off. I have never had 9 temperature bars. 10 is the last white bar and 11 and 12 are red...

I'm simply curious and not judging anything you say, but what could be sold from you mileage and location that is harmful to you (and even gainful to them)? If you carry a cellphone AFAIK that's available to your service provider already.
