Re: VCM recall for 22' SV+?

Now retired my trips are about 25 miles total maybe2-3 times a week. Perhaps its a update to increase accuracy (or not...). I would just make enough trips to take the battery down to 10-20%, but since I usually solar charge (trickle), and can charge when there's a fair bit of sun (or partly cloudy),...

Re: VCM recall for 22' SV+?

Had the update done about a month ago for the 22' SV+. I'm noticing maybe a 10% increase in kwh/mile, total range. Don't drive highways much so can't tell about the following distance, but did check the system in traffic to see if it resumed to set cruise when the car ahead moved. I probably sat the...

Re: Nissan Leaf Caught on Fire at Nissan HQ

Yeah, I'd have to go with quick charging an already hot battery. Lots of examples in other things like a kids "stand up two wheeler" being ridden on a hot day, kid goes back puts it right back on the charger cause' they gotta get back out there... That and really poor engineering, minimum ...

Re: Why do "some groups" bad mouth EVs?

All the above plus of course Big Oil. Big Oil also did a successful "hit job" on EV's in the early 1900's...

Re: Nissan is Either Ending Free Remote Access or Wants You to Pay Them Anyway

MicroCell might be useful, "cell boosters" I tried briefly quite a while ago...would work fine with a 500' tower, otherwise not so much with hills of 500' around here. "Go to car" works fine this year. Last year had two total knee replacements (not both at once, not that big into...

Re: Nissan is Either Ending Free Remote Access or Wants You to Pay Them Anyway

South Central Ohio, in a valley. No signal here that usable. By third party, I was referring to say something like OVMS which works for older Leafs, but not a recent year like my 22' SV+. Be nice but that's the way it is. As far as cell signal here, I can get cell over Wify, but the Leaf needs a &qu...

Re: Nissan is Either Ending Free Remote Access or Wants You to Pay Them Anyway

Hills block my cell signal at home, so remote connect is essentially useless. Too bad no third party monitoring for newer Leafs...

Re: Nissan Ariya to be announced for the JDM July 15, 2020

Happened to look at a "fully loaded" Ariya yesterday at the dealership where I had the VCM firmware updated for the Recall. I did appreciate the interior styling and that it has something that I miss on my 22' SV+... front ultrasonic sensors for proximity detection. I wasn't subject to the...

Re: VCM recall for 22' SV+?

Thanks. Looks like from the Car & Driver article that its for a firmware update at the dealer for the VCM. No issues with mine in the last year and a half, but I'll get it done when the updates available.

VCM recall for 22' SV+?

The MyNissan page on my 22' SV+ is showing a recall (dated yesterday the 17th) for the VCM. Anybody else get a notice, and do we know specifically what for?
