Just wanted to post an update: My in-laws decided to go with the Ford C-Max Energi. I actually don't know much about this car, but my impression is its Ford's version of the Plug in Prius. So far they say they love it, and it sounds like it will meet the majority of their around-town needs on...
Figured its time for some Friday fun.
How do you know you are a Leaf driver?
I'll start:
You know you are a Leaf driver when...you find yourself muttering "gas guzzler" under your breath as you pass a Prius on the freeway.
Just wanted to let folks know I heard back from my friend in TurboTax, and it appears the issue has been fixed:
"This is a known TurboTax interview issue that was addressed by the team and will be fixed in the 3/7 update for all new car entries.
For those who previously entered a Qualified...
Here's the story: We got our 2012 Leaf back in October & love it. Our in-laws came up from SoCal to stay with us over the holidays, and we had a lot of fun showing off the Leaf for them. My mother in law in particular was excited about the car, and in general just really interested in learning...
I know a few friends in the TurboTax group at Intuit, and they are going to pass this along to the appropriate folks who would be able to work on this issue.
I am about a month into LEAF ownership and today experienced driving in my first major rainstorm. Would love to get folks thoughts on a couple of areas:
1) Traction: The Leaf feels a little "slippery" (compared with my Camry) -- is this the result of a lighter car? Tire design? I am definitely...
New leaf owner here (let me know if I should transfer to the newbie section) and have been driving my leaf to and from work all this week.
My commute is on highways, about 15 miles, and I cross under several bridges. One thing that has freaked me out is at several times all the car's interior...
I have no adivce to add, just want to say I am so sorry about Kirby! Poor guy.
Glad to hear there were no injuries to passengers, though must have been traumatic I imagine!
Thanks to everyone who answered my questions earlier! You helped me make the plunge and this weekend my husband and I picked up our new Ocean Blue SL.
Currently using 120V charging, we will probably order from ESVE upgrade at some point soon --maybe sometime when I am out of town for work and...
I got my Leaf!!!!
After being on the original $99 waiting list, forgoing my spot due to lack of charging ability in Boston, moving back to California, and finally getting a place with a garage, I am now the proud driver of a Blue Ocean SL.
This is my first new car ever; we have been a 1-car...
So, I took some iphone photos and realized I can only upload them w/a URL, so let's do this the old fashioned way...
The plug looks like this:

So closest to the NEMA "10-30" in davewill's helpful picture. There is also some printing on the plug itself that reads "30A...
Thanks to all who replied! Appreciate the links as well...I had already checked out the evseupgrade FAQ but really wanted to more get confirmation that the dryer outlet would be A-OK and was having a harder time digging up that specific info.
Will check it out tonight when I get home to see...
I am currently considering this as well. We are looking/hoping to get our Leaf in the next month or so, and we are currently in a rental house. We will be leasing the Leaf.
Our garage has both types of plugs -- regular 110 as well as a "large" plug that our dryer plugs into. We do not want to...
