    Grabby Brakes?

    same with my 2013 S -- had the TSB and it improved the brakes, but with the cold weather ~20*F - the grabbyness is back.

    Which works better on the Leaf? iPhone or Droid?

    I had an iPhone 5 connected via cable to the USB jack and was able to play iTunes library, Spotify and Pandora through the cable. While most of my music consumption was through Spotify, I was able to use the steering wheel controls to advance tracks and see the song info displayed on my screen...

    Deliberately ran out of power

    So your experience did not match what I think we all expect to happen as shown in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTO-6ysxQD8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

    Burned L1 Plug

    In Stanton's response guess #1, and in the photos your wall jack is mounted sideways -- I would guess that the weight of the EVSE caused a "pull" on the plug creating a spot where liquid could have pooled right at that burned/melted spot. Agree with the other posters to replace the plug and...

    Leaf S + charge package (WA): $0 down, $249/mo

    When I Leased my leaf in the beginning of October for 24 months, the residual = 50%. The other elements seem right - negotiated price, 8150 "tax rebate", etc. I was lead to understand that NMAC set the lease variables for the month, so I was surprised to see that they have you at 40% residual...

    Spare Tire Mod

    ^ Agreed - Nicely Done Some minor improvement suggestions: As LeftieBiker mentioned, I would go with the wingnut to hold down the tire -- just makes it easier to get off. I would probably use the void in the wheel to stow the jack (with some type of padding/organizer) to keep it from...

    About to pull trigger on new Leaf - is this practical?

    With regard to the financial implications in a lease of '13 vs '14 -- one of the biggest factors is the "residual value". I suspect the new '14 (when the come out) will lease out with residual values 59+%. Right now, the residual values on a '13 are around 50-51%. So - in lease terms, the '13...

    ProClip Center Mount with iPhone - Review

    Looks like I may have damaged the wire -- oops. Back to the drawing board.

    ProClip Center Mount with iPhone - Review

    I had mine originally "stuffed" along the side as you described, but I looked at it again and went a different route. Little risk taking here... :) I lifted the bottom of the whole trim panel and with a gentle force, it popped free. Tilting the bottom back and up, the top latches disengaged...

    Siemens Versicharge - my first impressions

    After reading the forums, watching YouTube videos and considering several options, I chose the Siemens VC30BLKR Versicharge 30-Amp Rear Fed EVSE and purchased it from Amazon...

    Spare Tire Mod

    I took a look in the trunk area today and it looks like there are some options to secure the wheel / jack. In the first photo, the black circle is a plug that covers a hole in the floor panel. I suspect this would be to pass wiring. You could remove the plug and fashion a secure point using a...

    ProClip Center Mount with iPhone - Review

    I just got my ProClip and used the same vehicle mount but used a different iPhone5 holder. I am curious - how did you route the cable? Looks clean and I will try again to route my cable better. Anyone else interested, you might be able still use the discount code PUMPKIN for free shipping...

    Spare Tire Mod

    I suspect there are some hard points back there -- seat mounting hardware, using epoxy to fasten a tie down of sorts, finding a spot in the left side cubby to tether to, etc. With some creativity, you could make a semi permanent solution that is probably fully reversible at lease end. So...

    Anyone been to an F1 race?

    I went to COTA last year for the inaugural USGP race and had grandstand seats in T12 ($500). If I were going to do it again, I'd get GA tickets ($170 ish) and park my folding chair at T11. IMHO, earplugs are good enough at this location as the grounds are open and the sound doesn't get...
