    Fenix Power - Took money and but never delivered

    I gave them a deposit too, but am not inclined to think "fraud". I am curious, what makes something "fraud" or "scam" versus a start-up company that just plain doesn't succeed? Is it the presence or absence of a disclaimer like one sees on Kickstarter?

    LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)

    What is the provenance of the image shown here by carscoops? Is it from Nissan to represent the next Leaf, or did someone else make it up? (Note the copyrights - ) http://www.carscoops.com/2017/03/future-cars-2018-nissan-leaf-keeps.html

    The laptop slot

    A MacBook Pro fits perfectly between the center console and the passenger seat. Vertically for grab & go, horizontally if you want to (sort of) hide it.

    A Bunch of EV Bumper Stickers For Sale - UBUYGAS.com

    (BTW, there doesn't seem to be a way to select and buy the stickers from your site) Suggestions to make people re-think their own choices: 40 Miles per DOLLAR ^^ similar idea to your plate frame, but in terms closer to the MPG people are used to thinking of. And, it exercises their brains...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    I wonder if the discount is adjusted according to how much you've already paid during the lease. My discount was high, possibly/probably because I had paid a more over the extended lease term.

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Your numbers are very close to what I paid for my 2013SL lease buy out too. Your car has more bars (1) and more miles (7k) than mine. The incentive was quoted at $13k, FWIW.

    The just-keep-paying lease end option? = lowest $/mile

    Conclusion: I bought the car last week. NMAC continued to drop the offered price. That price was low enough that the break-even vs. the lease is 2 years. That is also within the useful life of the battery for me. Except for the no-charging-room-at-the-airport case. From their point of...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Wholesale, roughly the trade-in amount. See http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=19362 Tax, Title, License -- tax being the big one. When quoted a price, it's nice to know if that's with or without tax.

    The just-keep-paying lease end option? = lowest $/mile

    Thanks for the discussion, folks! $6000 for an estimated 60k miles on a replacement battery is $0.10 mile, which is excellent. For the range, my critical distance is home->work->airport->home. The daily commute is half that. I regularly charge at the airport, but sometimes, and...

    The just-keep-paying lease end option? = lowest $/mile

    The math goes like this: A. It's a commuter car, so the miles/month is a constant no matter which car I drive B. On the 2013, I am paying $239/month. Factor in $500/year for post-warranty maintenance. C. Leases on new LEAFs (whether there's a down payment or not) the monthly works out to the...

    The just-keep-paying lease end option? = lowest $/mile

    Well, that is why I am asking... the penalties that are explictly mentioned are just the monthly payments, any excess wear and tear, and excess pro-rated mileage. As far as I can tell. There is a mention of "other costs" which could include coming to get it, but I wouldn't refuse to deliver...

    The just-keep-paying lease end option? = lowest $/mile

    Yes, I have to expect that the situation could change at any time. Am curious to know if anyone has insight into the process or ramifications or NMAC's point of view...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    For a buy-out, is it fair to ask for the wholesale price + the $300 buy-out fee + TTL? Instead of negotiating down from the residual - discount, that is...

    The just-keep-paying lease end option? = lowest $/mile

    The price drops on the 2013's are interesting, but by my math the lowest cost per mile is to just keep paying my $239 lease payment. Even with the low buy out price, my break even vs. the monthly lease is 33 months out (well beyond the battery warranty). I am many months past the end of the...

    Lease over, advice needed

    I am in a similar situation. What exactly happens at the end of the lease period? If it is open-ended, and I can just continue to pay monthly indefinitely that is the lowest cost per mile that I can imagine... (I started a new thread on this...

    Nissan LEAF / NissanConnect EV severe security vulnerability

    Have any of you confirmed that deleting the car from the Carwings portal and/or declining the ToS stops the API form working?

    Two simultaneous bluetooth devices, audio & phone?

    Alright, I managed to recreate this. I have to document the exact steps that do it reliably, but basically the "audio phone" is connected first, while the "phone phone" has it's BT turned off. Then, enable the on-device BT for the "phone phone". Finally, use the car's screen to manually...

    Two simultaneous bluetooth devices, audio & phone?

    (Can't search for "two" on this forum, but "simultaneous" returned nothing, apologies if discussed before). I swear I somehow, once, had one cellphone connected as audio, and the other as a phone in my 2013. The behavior was that the audio was streaming from phone 1, and a phone call made with...

    6 month summary

    I like your post and agree with your assessment of a nearly perfect car! On this, my thinking is that our idea of "mainstream" shouldn't be the "touring" car. EVs are better today for the commuter and taxi mom. And, those uses are where the largest amount of carbon emissions can be removed...

    Carwings SMS always come from random numbers - WTF?

    Something else is going on here - the bad behavior is not just dependent on Nissan's choice of SMS gateway, nor our cell provider, nor a combination of the two. Data point: I use T-Mobile and an older Android device, and it displays all messages from "[email protected]" conveniently under...
