Does that mean that the leather only comes in black? Since you say Light Gray is only available on SV, and leather is only available on SL? I would only want the leather if it was available in the light color. I've also grown to like my cloth interior although I would definitely have ordered...

I would guess that yes, using the generator to charge for your trip would be dirtier than a tow truck, but it's probably a lot more convenient for you to use a generator and you're a rare special case. If you were doing this all the time, I'd say you made a mistake purchasing the LEAF, but if...

Whoa! Where are they? They have sold 9000 units and I haven't seen one in the wild in LA? Not even a regular hybrid. Are they just that generic looking?

Damn, that sucks. Copper wire thieves, presumably? I hadn't seen that yet.

Thanks for teaching me a new word! But I wouldn't call Glendale or the Convention Center "tony." For the record, I only go to Beverly Hills because that's where all the doctors are. I can't afford to shop there. However I do applaud their city's investment in EV chargers - most of the public...

I rarely use the public charging stations, especially now that they cost money to use, but I disagree that they are few, far apart, and often iced. I see many of them in shopping areas - Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, The Grove, Glendale, the Convention Center. Most of the time they are occupied...

When I serviced my LEAF in Glendale last week, they offered to give me a LEAF loaner while my car was being updated. The service rep said that they only give LEAF loaners to LEAF owners. I asked if they shouldn't give them to non-LEAF owners to get them behind the wheel and interested in the...

No single one of these upgrades would be enticing on their own to me, but when you add together: 1. larger trunk 2. leather interior 3. dark metal grey color 4. improved range (albeit slightly) 5. better sound system 6. better heat system 7. 6.6kw charger (probably) 8. wireless charging...

I wonder if we'll be able to buy replacement seats in leather... OEM might be nicer than aftermarket, though I would assume more expensive as well. I wish they had that dark grey when I purchased. I didn't like any of the choices available in 2011, so I settled on black. Like others have said...

Wow, that's a disappointing photo. It looks like an aftermarket conversion - not a production model from one of the top car makers in the world. One of the two reasons I was considering this car as a LEAF replacement was the trunk space. The Model S is looking better and better every day.

There are 2 things I hate about the Model S. 1. The price tag. 2. The fact that I don't have one.

Maybe in the general parking structure, but the Disneyland hotel offered to plug me in. So I think they are evolving.

FYI... Saturday we went to Disneyland and when we checked in at the Disneyland hotel, the valet said they would be happy to plug the LEAF in, which was surprising considering the no charging experiences reported here on this thread. At first I thought they had EVSEs for us, but he just meant...

It's a half inch visual cue, not a map. That said, I do like the Nissan nav system. I've seen a lot worse. I always feel like the zoom out and zoom in buttons are reversed though.

Yeah, that's where I bought mine last year, because it was the closest, but I didn't like the vibe and I've never been back. I had a pretty good service experience downtown, and I plan on trying out Glendale next time.
