    UPDATE: 2011 Leaf-VSC Warning light came on-stays on

    So...when I powered up yesterday (car was stationary in the garqage), the VSC Warning light came on and stayed on (steady). I read the owner's manual again---no help there, except to "take it to the dealer". I drove the car, with no problems. I shut down and powered up again, no change. I...

    The farthest north a Leaf has ever been?

    I'm presently @ Thule AB in NW Greenland, which is about 200 NM north of the Arctic Circle. This morning, coming out of the chow hall, I couldn't believe it: an extremely dirty/mud-covered Leaf was parked in front. It was a LHD, carried Norway License plates. Unfortunately, I didn't have my...

    Body repair recommendations in the San Diego area???

    So.....I have some rather significant damage to the right front of my Leaf, which I just noticed today. The bottom of the bumper is pushed in, and the right fog light is pushed out of its housing. I have no idea who did this; but I suspect that someone @ the Home depot (I stopped there last...

    Maybe we should stop using certain phrases on the forum

    Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time reading some of the posts here; and it seems to be getting worse. Seems as though we could try to refrain from statements like this: 1. I read somewhere recently that------ 2. I was told that------ 3. I heard from someone that------ 4. Everybody...

    Another Leaf Owner Interview

    Here's a link to an interview of two California Leaf owners. I was one of them (NB). It was conducted via email. Except for a couple of minor errors, I think it accurately reflects my views. http://www.mybanktracker.com/news/2013/05/28/curious-electric-cars-chat-satisfied-owner/"...

    I should know this 'cause I'm an old gearhead--but I'm stuck

    So...a "ding dong" with a leaf blower cracked my rear window last fall. So, I had it replaced. I've noticed that my rear wiper now slowly sags down off the window onto the rear lid over time. The wiper seems loose to me. The Owner's Manual tells me to "see a certified Nissan Technician"...

    San Diego Area EV Gathering in Poway

    Well. I went to the get-together this morning @ the Hamburger Factory in Poway. Since I was one of the first to arrive, I got to meet most everyone as they checked in. In addition to lots of Leafs, there were 3 Teslas present---a blue one, red one, and grey one. Also, I saw an Active E BMW...

    Talk about a Letdown - Renault Clio

    So....I'm in Germany on business. Because it was all that was available, I rented a Renault "Clio" @ the FRA airport, and drove over to Trier. WOWSER! After driving my Leaf for the past year & 3/4, I can't believe the difference. This car is a genuine POS! :( I don't know anything about the...

    SOLD SOLD

    SOLD I hope this gets posted in the right place. I'm a forum supporter, but can't seem to be able to post in the "wanted, for sale" thread. My emails to: [email protected] come back as un-deliverable. Anyway, this unit is brand new, in the box, and is identical to those installed @ Nissan...

    KUDOS for Mossy Nissan in San Diego (Kearney Mesa)

    Yesterday I called them to schedule my 1yr complimentary battery check. A very friendly lady said, "how about tomorrow morning at 0745"? Perfect for me. This morning, I went down there, was met by the Leaf specialist, Mr. Mathew Guerro. He said it would take about an hour, so I walked across...

    I have a confession to make

    Since I got my Leaf in June, I now no longer miss my 1957 Chevy Belair. (I actually had one, and drove it regularly, honest) :mrgreen:

    Is the Blink on Arctic Ocean Drive in Lake forest open 24/7?

    I need to drive from San Diego to Westminster, which is 94mi one-way. So, I think I'll need to add a little juice. The Blink mapped in Lake Forest is 55mi from my house. Can anyone up there in good old Orange County verify that it is operational 24/7? Thanks.

    Breaking News! I couldn't drive the Leaf today

    :P My wife beat me to the garage this morning to take our grand daughter to horseback riding lessons. So, I was stuck with the Prius to go to the bank. Bummer! :mrgreen:

    The spreadsheet is now just about useless

    I see that the spreadsheet now shows about 25 leaf cars delivered since June 1. Over on the CVRP site, it shows that about 270 rebate applications have been filed from California buyers alone since June 1. :roll:

    My 1 year anniversary, but no cake

    Today, (Yay! I think!), it's been a year since I sent off my $99 and reserved a Leaf. I hope Nissan has been putting my $99 to good use. I still have no idea when I'll get delivery. Not to worry though; the sun will probably rise tomorrow. I do know, however, that if the CA rebate is...

    Why keep bugging your dealer?

    I see lots of posters here seem to be calling their dealer repeatedly, trying to ascertain the status of their delivery. Why? What good does it do? Do you really think calling your dealer will speed up your delivery? I've never called my dealer (Leon @ Mossy). I figure he'll call me as soon...
