That's very cool and clean. I like how you tied everything with twist ties. Very neat. One question I have - I noticed you left the AC_RELAY pins unconnected to anything. I'm pretty sure I remember that being the control signal for the relay, but you took those wires and ran them to the...

I paid $125 to have it appraised, so at least I didn't lose money by going that route. I still don't feel it was a fair settlement though. It's already hard to find a buyer for a used Leaf, so couple that with the Leaf having a tainted accident history - no matter how minor - and that's the kiss...

Sorry to resurrect this dead thread, but I just wanted to follow up with the outcome now that everything is squared away. This is what I did. I live in NC, and the law here is that if you and the insurance company don't agree, you can both hire independent appraisers who will negotiate and...

First, let me say I'm all for Nissan developing and releasing this technology - it's been a long time coming. However, the Leaf seems like the last choice of car to introduce it in. Both ProPilot and XM Radio seem like features appropriate for a long-range car, which the Leaf is absolutely not...

I found a dealership that is selling a 2015 vehicle with 3,500 miles on the odometer that was used as a loaner car. Although they placed it in service for warranty purposes and as a result has eaten through two years of that, they're claiming that it still qualifies for the FTC because it has...

Thanks all for the comments - really. Even if I don't call you out by name, I read and appreciate your input. I'm thinking pretty much the same thing that Reddy said, that even though the 2018 and later Leafs are going to have increased capacity and range, they're going to have an increased...

@RonDawg - You're right, there are a bunch of hybrids I didn't consider. My thought is that if I'm going to replace my ICE with a BEV/PHEV, I'd like to not use gas at all getting to/from work, which is a 34 mile round trip. Currently, the Volt is the only PHEV that could meet that criteria...

So my wife and I bought our Leaf new back in February. At the time, it was an experiment - we weren't sure it would meet our needs, but we needed another car and at least we still had a 2nd vehicle (ICE) that we could use if the Leaf wasn't what we hoped it would be. Well it turns out that we...

I just wanted to give a quick shout to Chris from OpenEVSE. I recently discovered that my OpenEVSE was running too hot and limiting the current available to charge as a safety feature. I emailed OpenEVSE support and Chris was just fantastic. Always quick to reply to messages, and the replacement...

In my case, I filed the DV claim with the other driver's insurance company, since they were at fault. I'm not sure if you could collect DV from your own insurance if it were your own fault.

Normally I'm all for 3d printing useful things but this is a bad idea. I know PLA will melt if left inside a hot car and I assume that under the hood can get just as hot if parked in the sun. Also a few years back I was changing out the brake fluid on my motorcycle and accidentally spilled some...

Just to follow up, I had a chat with the dealer this weekend and just like OP, their attitude was "no code = no problem." Let's just say I was less than satisfied with that answer, but at least they were willing to give me documentation of my concern and the car's current mileage, in case things...

I dunno, I always thought it was battery-temperature-related. My Leaf has recently started doing this: Sometimes it ramps down, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to correlate with how hot it is outside. Personally, I'm not worried about it. (Obviously I'm referring to the drop around 2:30, not the...

https://www.vehiclehistory.com/vehicle/land.php Is that more or less detailed than Carfax?

I'm reading the links provided and the articles keep saying "speedometer can be high, odometer is probably accurate." I have my doubts. Depending on which vehicle I take to work, the mileage is either 16.4, 16.6, or 16.9 miles over the exact same route, with the fairly-new tires inflated to...

My OpenEVSE logs something that's even more pronounced:

Wow - learned something new today, thanks for the informative link. Seems like in a nutshell, the behavior I've noticed is real, but my suspicion of underlying cause was wrong. The manufacturer's hands are actually tied, somewhat.

Call me cynical but that's always my suspicion. Manufacturers clocking their speedo's too high because it makes warranties expire prematurely, without anyone noticing. I've owned several vehicles with high speedometers compared to GPS. I've owned none that were too low. If it really is just an...

My understand is it works either way. As long as your total tax footprint is at least $7500, you get the full rebate. Don't fuss over the fine print too much. Nominally, the deals can't be combined, so you probably won't have luck asking for that. But a motivated dealer can still work the...

Yes, making a case in small claims is not free, but are you also not justified in asking for all those costs in the settlement amount? - The original diminished value amount - The appraisal fee - Court costs - Time taken off work - Attorney's fees If you go to court and win, wouldn't the...
