Wouldn't nissan have to prove the lack of check contributed to the failure in order to deny warranty coverage?

Would you need a new EVSE due to differing power standards?

I don't think I'll buy my car or lease a 2015 just yet. I've been pretty happy with the pricing and lease deals for the 2015s, but the value of my 2012 seems too low. My 2012 seems to be worth between 12,000 and 13,500, and my buyout with the discount is $14,950. One dealer even calculated that...

My dealers initial offer is to trade in my 2012 (no penalty early lease termination) and lease a 2015 SV at $389/mo, including tax, 36mo, zero down. I'm targeting $320/mo and LED/ charge package. We shall see what happens.

I contacted my dealer to see if they'd take my 2012 in trade (with the discount) towards a 2015 lease and VPP. That may be another option, we'll see what they come up with.

Thanks everyone. Lots of good feedback. I have a tough decision to make in the next week or so.

My offer was printed on my NMAC statement. My battery has no obvious degradation. I don't have a measuring device besides showing 12 capacity bars. My issue with range is only during the harsh Minnesota winter days. I average around 2.6 miles/kWh and have less capacity due to battery temperature.

Great questions. My commute is about 10 miles each way. Workplace charging is available 90% of the time. Range anxiety comes from the cold weather and making short trips like errands on days I don't work. In my experience heating the cabin when near 0 uses an amazing amount of energy (6kwh to...

One thing I forgot to mention, I have to make 8 more payments of $367 if I don't buy.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for advice and input regarding my 2012 Leaf lease buyout. I received the $5,000 purchase discount offer* in my payment this month, and it expires 1/31/2015. My next car will likely be a Tesla Model 3 in 2-4 years. Should I buy my leased car, lease another Leaf, or...

An hour sounds like a long time to me, a non-dog-owner. But it seems to work for you.

I had no idea so many would be jealous of my electric rate. I pay 5.85 overnight, 10.1 off peak, and 37 peak. I had to install a new meter for this program.

Neat. I get 14500 miles by using my electric rate ($0.05) and my old car (45mpg). I'm definitely not saving any money. But I like the experience and I feel like I'm making a difference. Maybe.

2012 Leaf and iPhone 6 with iOS 8. Bluetooth not working properly. I deleted pairings from both the car and the phone. It appears to connect but will not make or receive calls. When I use siri she speaks through the head unit. Edit: looks widespread iPhone 6 has car Bluetooth problems

I can add a data point for temperature. I use a heated garage in the winter so there are days when my car is 60 degrees but the ambient is much lower and my regen is severely limited. I think the car uses outside air temperature for this calculation based on my experience. I will have 5 battery...
