That assumes the battery hasn't already run down. Being stranded three times and having to get the car towed... not a "small" hassle at all.

Give the context for this thread (e.g. the upgrade causes battery draining) I would avoid upgrading telematics like the plague. We have had to have our towed three times since doing the upgrade and there’s still no fix. We’ve since disabled all information sharing etc. which severely limits the...

Except if a new 30kWh battery fetches more than the 24kWh at auction or on dealer lots. Which it would...

I'd venture an educated guess that Nissan will move a larger inventory of CPO+used LEAFs than new ones next year. Those cars make their way to auction or dealers to get dispositioned; so yes, Nissan's best interest to keep residual values strong. Spillover benefit is leasing is more attractive...

I'd be shocked if the larger pack wasn't a drop in replacement, perhaps with some very minor software tweaks. Having a larger pack launched prior to the full model refresh is literally the best thing that's happened to this car since the 2013 update.

Good info. Thanks for sharing!

The change, which excludes individuals that make over $250k and households that make over $500k from the EV credits, was proposed and approved last legislative session. It went into effect July 1 2015. http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/california-ev-rebates-now-based-on-income.html

We were tempted to do a new one but our household income puts us out of the running for the CA $2500 incentive. Plus we live in a temperate climate so the lizard battery doesn't do much for us. We just picked up a really sweet one owner, no accidents, clear title 2013 SL with Bose/AroundView...
