My July 2013 car just lost bar 11 at almost exactly 80,000 miles. I'd been expecting it to go for over a year, so no complaints! So just to clarify ... Does this now make your car a 3-bar Leaf with less than 20 miles of range? Or a 10-bar Leaf with over ~50 miles of range? Edit: I see you're in Sea...

My 2017 just lost it's 4th bar Is it advisable to get it to the dealer ASAP to start the process? ... or is there a scenario where the bar comes-and-goes for awhile -- i'd hate to take it to them and have them find it's not yet ready for warranty And when it goes there, is there anything i would be...

That does seem odd. Were there any environmental changes (like more shade somewhere)? This past summer temperature and year was much milder than previous year. Lots of rain, and not many hot days.

I'm not sure that replacing inattentive drivers with reckless cars is a good solution. ;) Well, in the example I linked, the AEB on the car saved the little girl's life. She was able to get up and cry about it, versus being crushed by the inattentive driver (not sure why she was going that fast in ...

Tesla Model 3 Owner Ignores Warnings, Drives Car Into Floodwater While Using FSD Beta https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a44869591/tesla-model-3-drives-into-flood-fsd/ Driver was an idiot.

<Snip> The Italian purchase of hydrogen trains doesn't strike me as a case of "right tool for the job". If the Austrian tests showed that a battery-only train can cover a 224km route (effectively half way across the entire spanish country), then what could ARST possibly need a hydrogen tr...

I don't understand why my old (high school) dream of electric locomotives and PV panels on the roofs of the cars wouldn't work. You'd have a dedicated "battery car" as well. power density. The solar panels takes all day to trickle charge enough energy into the batteries for a 15 minute dr...
