When you turn on CC remotely or via a Timer, it always heats/cools to a factory-set 77F (w/ no dehumidify). When you turn it on manually, it uses whatever temperature you have set, which is likely lower.

I don't believe that EV's will be able to match the pace of advances in computers and electronics over the past few decades. EV's are primarily based on old and relatively mature technologies (electric motors and batteries). While possible, big breakthroughs are unlikely. Rechargeable batteries...

The Congressional Budget Office just issued their new report: Effects of Federal Tax Credits for the Purchase of Electric Vehicles

Like the Prius, it actually has two motor-generators plus the ICE. All three are all combined in various ways by the drivetrain.

I agree with your analysis in general. But don't you have to pay WA sales tax on the full lease buyout amount? (The electric car exemption only applies to the original purchaser, NILT.)

WSDOT just deployed one for their own use: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/transit/pt_features.htm When I recently talked to an Ecotality rep, it don't sound like they were very close, yet. They finally got UL approval for their Blink charger, and have one recently operational in Portland, OR, but they...

The Woodinville Farmers Market runs from 9-3 at the Carol Edwards Center. http://www.woodinvillefarmersmarket.com/index.php. I don't know if there is a place visible from the market where we could arrange to all park, but if so, it'd be a great way to pick up some foot traffic. Wilmot Gateway...

Here we go again… http://www.suntimes.com/news/steinberg/7202025-417/blowing-about-town-in-a-new-nissan-leaf.html It sounds like nobody explained to the reviewer the difference between Accessory Mode and Ready Mode. This is exactly what happens when you turn the car on without your foot on the...

Sounds like nobody explained the difference between Accessory Mode and Ready Mode to the reviewer. This is exactly what happens when you turn the car on without your foot on the brake pedal. The (long-since-resolved) A/C issue had different symptoms...

I'm having some similar problems with them. Greg had quoted me a no-markup lease back in November, and emailed me all the no-markup money factors. (We qualify for Tier-0 0.00204). I was nervous about them trying to slip in a rate markup, after reading about all the other experiences here, and so...

Greg did email me over a document with the no-markup money factors, but so far they have not been willing to honor those. We are interested in the lease, mainly because we wouldn't be able to get the full tax rebate on an outright purchase. But we certainly can buy out the lease. I thought...

Todd Fee was not fired. He's still at Rairdon's. I confirmed this with him personally. I think the poster who wrote that had him confused with Greg Leach. I concur with TurboFroggy.

Todd Fee was not fired. He's still at Rairdon's. I confirmed this with him personally. I think the poster who wrote that had him confused with Greg Leach. Speaking of Rairdon's, and refusing delivery… Our LEAF arrived there on 6/23, but we have not yet been able to take delivery, since they...

Todd assures me he has NOT been fired and is still at Rairdon's. Did you perhaps confuse him with Greg Leach?

I wonder if this is the real reason for the delayed deployment of the QC stations. It seems that it would also be possible to make an adapter that goes from an SAE "nozzle" to a CHAdeMO port. This would likely be less expensive than retrofitting the ports (for existing cars), and would still...

Thanks nissanvirgin. You pretty much sum up my feelings and experiences with Nissan, too. This will be my first Nissan (assuming I still go through with it). I'm very brand loyal, and they had an opportunity to win a life-long convert (from Honda/Acura). As things stand, I very much doubt I will...

That is very disturbing, indeed. Especially from a company that is trying to portray itself as being progressive. They certainly deserve to be called out on it.

Yeah, that does seem a little out-of-whack. I reserved on 4/20/2010, over a year before you, yet I am now told that my car won't be delivered till JULY, only a month earlier. (I, too, waited till after the test drive to finalize my order, but only after Nissan assured me that it was the...

I'm local and mine's silver. But I'm pretty sure you didn't see mine, because I haven't seen it yet! It's out there somewhere… (The one most likely originally built for me was instead given to someone who ordered months after I did. Now I have to wait till JULY for them to build a replacement...

Congratulations! I reserved on 4/20/2010, over a year before you did, but due to multiple Nissan screw-ups, might only be getting my car a month before you do! :roll: What's NSX #13? I have what I was told was the first one delivered in WA, but it's a lot higher S/N (#1975).
