I'm old but not so old that I don't remember growing up in the 60's and 70's before the Clean Air Act. Grew up just south of Los Angeles. Many days we couldn't go out for recess when I was in elementary school in the 60's. Walking the mile to Junior and Senior high. Moving into the 3rd floor...

My wife uses Nissan Connect Services and her iPhone every morning in the winter to start the climate control in her 2020 SV Plus

I heard that and have to wonder why the engineer (now sadly dead) isn't at fault since he didn't have his hands on the steering wheel. I am assuming that if he had he could have avoided the crash the self driving software caused because it would have let him override it's "desires".

They charge PHEVs MORE when they are very likely paying road tax on fuel for some quantity, maybe a LOT, of the miles/kilometers they drive??

And a weight calculation. A Hummer EV will do a lot more damage than a little MiEV. Of course it gets messy with a plug in hybrid, no way to know how many miles were electric and how many on gas where the fuel tax was paid.

So you don't park in the garage? Is it a parking garage or a single family home garage? Interesting, you had a problem with the tires? How many miles before they died? Our 2020 has snow tires on rims and still has the original summer tires, approximately 80K miles combined. So far they look...

My wife drives her 2020 Leaf SV Plus 70 miles a day, 7 days a week. I have a 2018 Prius Prime, range gas +electric is over 600 miles. Being retired, I mostly don't drive all that much and can do a lot of it on the EPA 25 miles electric rating especially in the summer. I have gone 1,500 miles on...

I did that ONCE. The new driver's side wiper would constantly pop out of the support frame at the end in the middle of the windshield. When they were worn enough I went to Advance Auto and bought the proper length blades there. Probably not any cheaper but at least the rubber stays were it is...

Understandable. I gather you don't have your own charger at your house. Or is it a gated apartment complex? I don't have much knowledge of gated communities other than seeing them with large single homes with garages.

May I ask why? My wife drives her 2020 SV Plus 70 miles minimum 7 days a week and charges every night. It isn't hard, just pop the lid and plug in. Car charges starting at 9 PM when our special EV charging rates ($0.04 less than regular rate) starts.

Those ATV mud tires are a joke, right??

Oddly, though my Prius Prime has no spare (other than the one I stole from my wife's '06 Prius before it went to the salvage yard), it did come with a jack. Not sure what they expect the average person to do with it other than maybe jack the car and take the wheel somewhere for repair or...

The stock tires on our 2020 SV Plus are 215/70/R17

The app would not connect to the car this morning, 6 attempts. Sadly not uncommon. So no preheating for the trip to the dealer. It took nearly 4 hours to replace the condenser. I paid only the $100 deductible.

You are one very lucky person! Tiny sharp rock in the tread groove, 18 gauge nail snapped off flush inside the groove, screw in the tire, wife driving too fast on a road that was being redone, large rock base, cut the side wall. Forced into the curb (1 spare didn't cut it that time). I'm sure...

I have done the same with winter tire steel rims that liked to glue themselves on. More than a few times I've spent 15 or 20 minutes banging on the tire with a rubber mallet before it came off. With regard to getting the lug nuts off, sometimes my air impact doesn't cut it but I can get them off...

I know this thread is old, don't know if there is a newer one. but it is the one I found when my wife called last Thursday to say the heat wasn't working. Preheat works fine, no heat when she headed home from work (35 miles and high 20's °F). Found the "turn on A/C" suggestion but it doesn't do...

The topic title is VERY misleading but the information is good. Do not leave it plugged into the charging station after it is charged if you aren't going to drive it for a day or a few, no reason to waste electricity with the parasitic drain. But my wife has to use the charge timer feature...

Then it isn't 1 pedal since you have to re-engage frequently when not on the interstate. Poor design.

I don't know if Nissan doesn't sell just the rubber or it is my dealer that doesn't. Seems a terrible waste of materials and money to throw out the entire structure. Last time we needed blades (also the first time) for the 2020 SV I bought full OEM replacements from the dealer. Rear is OK...
