For what it's worth, I have a 2008 Versa (2nd year on sale in the US) and there is something similar on the hatch of mine, although done with far less care than what you have. Presumably a fix for a rattle or leak in the hatch area found during final quality testing, and likely part of the...

I am holding my breath on my February delivery, waiting for a bunch of you folks to get yours. Here's my now publicly-stated hope that as you folks start driving the freeways of Los Angeles, you'll start posting your range at real highway speeds (ie 80mph on the 134/210, say.)

Thanks, TT -- I hadn't seen mention of it, but then, I haven't been very active here previously. Order placed!

cdub, you're ordering the same color/trim/accessories as me, from the same place. I wonder if we'll get it on the same day... After much ado over the charger estimate, and much (pleasant and informative) back and forth with the folks at Fontana, I just got my quote through the system for *my*...

I've gotten the free charger/$1200 credit toward install. My out-of-pocket will be $142, which is a heck of a lot better than I feared. Fingers crossed that it all goes well.

Finally drove it this morning (loved it as an EV, wouldn't buy it if it wasn't an EV because the interior's a festival of mousefur upholstery that's unlikely to stay clean with my kids in it.) Finally got the charger installation quote worked out, and with ECOtality picking up $1,200 of it...

I have an existing, relatively recent 220V electric dryer connection in my garage, perfectly located (installed before I bought the house.) It's two 20amp breakers ganged together, and the wires are in great shape. Is this (in theory) suitable, or does it sound like I need to replace it (with a...

Followup on my earlier post about Miller and Universal Nissan -- Miller contacted me, and they hemmed and hawed a bit, mumbling something about their prices not being fixed yet but they'll "probably" do "something around MSRP." My confidence, it is not high, so still planning to switch to...

I also received an email today from Ecotality, offering the free home assessment. And thanks for the feedback on Universal and Miller, folks -- I'll just skip them (I have other reasons to skip them as well, as a past Nissan owner) and go right to Fontana when the time comes. Based on my past...

Just throwing my two cents in, as a Los Angeles-area potential Leaf owner: I was told back in July that eTec would be contacting me within a few weeks to set up the home assessment, but I have yet to hear anything; Nissan's live help suggests this is typical. My order date had said "September"...
