That's what drew me in. But without VPP, that $60 becomes $9x and the $2500 + taxes/fees becomes $4800 which to me seems like a lot of extra profits padded in there.

Seems like the 2 San Jose dealers are delusional. Premier Nissan of Stevens Creek quoted $3999 + tax/fees + $159+tax for 24 months. No VPP Premier Nissan of San Jose (diff dealer) quoted around $4800/driveoff + $9x/month inc tax for 24 months. No VPP. Stevens Creek's offer is laughable and...

It's a little ridiculous how long it's taking to get these parts in. At this rate, my lease will be up (13 months from now) before they fix this issue. It's not like they even have that many cars to get parts for. :roll:

I just got this email: Please be advised that as of Saturday, April 23rd, Blink Level 2 EV charging stations will no longer be participating in Nissan's No Charge to Charge (NCTC) program. Therefore, free charging sessions will no longer be provided to NCTC participants at any Blink L2...

So long thread, skimmed through, I will be leaving my car parked for 8 weeks in a driveway where I can't keep a trickle charger hooked up. Should I expect a dead 12V battery when I return? It's possible the car could be driven once every few weeks by the people there but if I wasn't to count...

I have almost the same car, a 2002 M3 manual. I also kept it for when I need the range. Oh yeah, the M3 gets 16-17mpg in the city even though it's a 'compact' car.

Sigh... :roll: :x Great way to encourage more electricity use. :roll: Thanks for the update though, it doesn't say when it's going to take effect.

I've heard the navigation is slow and horrible, and yet here people are stating it's a reason to get the SV or an S...? I got an S w/ QC and have zero regrets but I do live in California where I only used the seat and steering wheel warmers mostly during the "winter". I was looking for the...

How come this thread doesn't get stickied like the other regional threads? BTW, just wanted to see if folks notice the amazing amount of carpool cheaters. For me, as I commute on the expressways around Santa Clara/Sunnyvale, more than half the cars I see in the carpool lane are solo, and no...

Took the words out of my mouth... A great initiative nevertheless.

It's only an issue if you leave it plugged in for an extended period of time. (say more than a couple of weeks)

Per this chart, at a constant speed, the model S peaks at around 22mph then falls off from there. Of course, this doesn't take into account stop and go so it's hard to be conclusive based on this data point. http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/model-s-efficiency-and-range"...

Congrats on the Leaf! I'm curious about the statement above, I remember reading that the Tesla also gets worse range on the highway, am I remembering it wrong?

When I was trying to finally activate my Ez-charge card over the weekend, I noticed that now the Kia Soul shows up. A few days earlier, only the Leaf showed up. I guess we should welcome the Soul owners to the frustrating experience that is Ez-charge. I'm not sure if they have a similar 'no...
