The trip back consumed more energy because of leaving later in the day and encountering mid 90 degree temperatures and a big crosswind. Still, it only added a little to my total consumption over 1500 miles. I don’t see any way to discover the percentage highway and city in the interface. I have...

It does not seem to matter much whether city or highway for me. The car must have really good aerodynamics to not consume a lot of power at 70 mph. My last freeway trip was 275 miles and 207 Wh/mi.

First 1000 miles with SR+ mostly in Chill Mode: 198Wh/mi (about 5mi/kWh) LEAF S30 and BoltEV were 4.5. LEAF eco mode was no fun to use and BoltEV only had a sport mode.

I am very happy with my recent delivery. It shines with the ceramic wax I applied myself and the paint is lovely. Maiden voyage went smoothly. To be fair, my LEAFs and Bolt EV were also made well but the Model 3 is especially enjoyable.

Has anyone seen if Nissan Finance is offering a rebate in Northern California to finance the leftover 2020 LEAF? I thought I saw this in January.

I saw that Chevrolet of Watsonville is offering a discount of $5000 in addition to the $8500 GM discount. YMMV check out the website.

My local dealer insisted on a $300 inspection of my car to tell me it is safe to drive after I buy it back from them.

Happy to report my SOH is 90.6% at 27 months and 26,000 miles. The table in inside ev website says I should have 84.96% after 27 months. I did lots of QC until my card expired, as well. It's fairly easy to get over 90 miles range as long as it's not all freeway, and the last time I did it had...

Yesterday I saw a car carrier truck with about 8 gen 1 LEAFs on it. There was no time for a snapshot.

Good article by Joe Nocera https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-12-06/carlos-ghosn-s-arrest-and-the-backlash-to-japan-nissan Surprised by response of many Leafers here accepting the initial accusations at face value.

extended to January 2, 2019, maybe will be extended a third time

Rainy season here is November :)

I returned my 15 LEAF. The inspector put in a $192 charge for a rear bumper. Said inspector decided the white paint on the bumper looked a little different than the metal due to poor quality repairs. The bumper was original. I have a dispute with Nissan Finance. I had to pay because they gave...

Looks like the battery is close to its original range at 23,000 miles. Drove from full charge on L2 to 10% SOC Leaf Spy 106 miles. 36 mile trip in the afternoon. 4.1 mi/kWh on a 70 mile airport run in the evening with the defroster on. Three people and luggage to go and just me back. It is a...

If anyone in the Bay Area needs a cargo cover I have one from my returned 15, will let go for reasonable price, or offer.
