You leave the FOB in the car, close the door, then lock it manually with the physical key. Stash the physical key in your wetsuit or in a lockbox attached to your car handle and you are good to go. I got the hard racks BTW, on my 85% life left 24kWh battery. Nice not having straps inside my car...

Nice, have a link to the ebay auction, I see some for $55 but reviews on sellers' aren't great. I hadn't thought of upgrading the battery, didn't know it was that economical. Was looking at 2017 Bolt's for around 19k but if I could keep my 2013 Leaf and put a 62kWh battery in it for $8,800 it...

Nice, thanks for sharing. I want to upgrade to hard racks but didn't want to invest money in the car if I'm going to get one with a bigger battery soon. How do these handle rain, any water get inside?

Hi, I did go with soft racks and I am on my second set now because sun and salt eventually corrode the straps and they need to be replaced. I try to take them down when I am not using very much like in the winter when the waves are better and I ride smaller boards that fit in the car, and the...

Line 232: No failures on my S280's.

Row 221 still going strong with no failures on my 12x S280 inverters.

Just tried to leave it in the "chat" on the spreadsheet, I am the system on Line 202 in Santa Barbara and we have not had any problems with our S280s since installing on 11/28/16.

From https://powerscout.com/site/californias-self-generation-incentive-program-sgip/ $5,500 (list price) + $1,700 (installation) = $7,200 total cost 13.5 kWh * $500/kWh incentive = $6,750 rebate $7,200 cost – $6,750 rebate = $450 net price Seems too good to be true.

Thanks for the info. So you expect a $4,200 credit ($.30Wh x 14kWh) via the SGIP? Sounds awesome.

Here is a chart on my LeafSpy data from a used 2013 I bought back in October with help from this forum. Six months and 6,000 miles later I lost my first bar. I knew it was coming based on AHr but was hoping it wouldn't hit for 3-6 more months. I'm still really happy with buying this car...

7 QCs when I bought it in October. I've added 3-4 since then.

Yeah the timer over-ride button was easy enough to remember, but as jjeff said for the 2013 you have to have the car on and navigate through the clunky menu (on an S model) to change from 80 to 100. Half the time I'd have the car turned off and over-ride button hit when I'd remember about the...

I got burned a couple times when charging in the wild by forgetting to over-ride the charge timer and charge percent from 80% to 100%. So I turned both off a few months ago and my mental state is much happier. I was leaving notes for myself on if my timer was on and if I was 80% or 100%, and...

Congrats and welcome to the world of Leaf ownership. I'm a new owner of a 2013 myself I bought in October. I was nervous at first but don't regret it at all, I will never go back to ICE.

I bought one on your Ebay listing, might be your first guinea pig.
