oh sorry. I thought it was a joke. Like this had devolved into us all posting the exact same information that has already been posted over and over and pretending as if it was new Info.
Rest assured, there is zero information that I need to learn from you all about this car at this point. Got...
Also, and I don’t think this can be stated too many times, there is a diffence between kilowatts and kilowatt hours. Even if you’re talking about the capacity of your battery with regard to range, people will get confused if you’re not paying attention when you type it and make an error. They...
I didn’t lead off with saying, dick move, just getting frustrated at this point in the thread.
I didn’t make myself or passengers colder, I kept temperature cooler than I normally would in ICE vehicle. I told family before we started trip to dress warm because I wasn’t sure about range and we...
I don’t think I complained about being cold. I hope it didn’t come off that way. I think I indicated that I set temp lower than what I normally would as a sacrifice to get more range. I really done care, I can handle any temp. The point was that the range was what it was AND I was doing things...
People keep bringing up the 75 mph as if that was the speed of this trip. The vast majority of it was 55-60. As for rain, again, very short part of trip. Kind of funny that I get lectured about using the proper terminology yet people here can’t seem to grasp the facts that I clearly conveyed...
OK, I’ll rephrase it. I could go slower at the risk of my safety and adding even more time to a trip that I’ve already added a half hour of extra time to... But if I really need to make any more compromises beyond the many I already made, I would rather just pay the extra $15 and take my pickup...
We were disappointed that rear seat heat wasn’t available as well. I liked the idea of running a colder car and just heating the occupants to gain some range. Still can do this when alone of course.
There are times when I can slow up to 65 on the interstate in the right lane but much of the...
Yes, very aware of the meaning and the difference. I left it off because I was just being lazy and since the context of what I wrote so clearly indicated that I was referring to capacity, I didn’t think anyone would be confused by it. I got it, don’t worry. There’s no confusion on my end...
I thought I replied to this but not seeing it now.
Heated seats I use for increased range when I’m alone or with one passwnger. Not useful when people are in back seat because if I use those to be comfortable at a lower temp, well I’m not the type to let my kids sit cold in the back while I’m...
So yesterday I did my first long drive with our new 2018 Leaf. I will list all the data I have and then I’m curious if this is in line with what you guys think is normal.
Trip is 100 miles. When we bought car this trip was kind of a measuring stick for us. It’s a trip we do 4-6 times a year so...
Made some adjustments but the issue is simply the limitations of the system IMO. It sounds fine to me at lower volume. It just doesn’t have the power / speakers to handle the deeper bass at a higher volume- which in my experience is usually the limiting factor for any stereo that is cheap...
Ours came with a storage organizer tub thing that we sort of half filled with things we just keep in the car so the top of that sits above the audio stuff. Haven’t really noticed it at all.
Agree with many of your observations. Here’s my abbreviated list-
Love- agree with what you love except we don’t really use the “b” mode. I like coasting, feels like good coasting will save more energy than regen gives back. I could be wrong on this.
Also on the love it side- my wife and I...
