Saw my first ELR in Palm Springs last weekend - definitely a very nice looking car!

It is a beautiful car! I'll certainly consider it when my Leaf lease is up in 2 years.

Dang, my last excuse for not visiting the in-laws in Anaheim will soon be null and void! ;)

I'll pledge $200 to make it an even $10,000 total. Yeah!!!

Does this mean that the quick charger is not available on weekends?

I would have done the horn upgrade before the wetsuits. Do you live in a flood prone area? ;)

It is the one you get to by opening the hood. This picture shows what the engine bay looks like with that panel removed:

Yes, thanks to Fontana Nissan, Danny, and especially the AeroVironment guys who are still sitting out in the 90+ degree parking lot as I type this! I got their first fast charge of the morning on my way to Los Angeles, then a couple hours of L2 while I ate lunch, then back to Fontana for another...

Danny, is the fast charger still a go for the weekend? My plan is to drive from Victorville, fast charge at Fontana Nissan, then spend the day in LA (hopefully fast charge at the new L3 on Mateo St.), back to Fontana for another fast charge before the drive up the Cajon pass and home to...

Yes, that would be great! I always need a boost to get back "up the hill" to Victorville which usually involves a couple hours at the charger at Ontario Mills (usually see a movie while I wait).

Great, I'll be there to try it out! I thought my first real fast charge would be at the Mitsubishi charger in Cypress last weekend, but it was broken. I had to sit for 4 hours on L2 to make it home.

VIN 20156, build date 3/2012, purchased 5/2012 off the lot at Fontana Nissan here in S. California. I guess it could be an orphan from a colder climate state. It won't see much snow here in the Mojave desert!

I installed my new Wolo 320-2T horn today and it works great. I wanted to go through the bottom of the car but I ran into a problem. First I took the lower pan off: I found this separate panel installed between the bumper and frame: I hadn't seen this panel mentioned in anyone else's...
