Thanks for the posts. Some were entertaining :) I would never just go in and use something without frequenting the establishment such as using a restroom that is for customers only. We always buy something or eat there. This would be the same thing but here is what I was trying to figure...

Hi, I just wanted to know the right etiquette when it comes to charging at Whole Foods or another Commercial establishment. Are the stations only open for shoppers or could you charge and then go eat somewhere else close by as an example. Thanks

I am a - Hot Climate (TX) - L1/L2 access at home and all over town. No L3s in Austin - Commuter - Low Mileage - Low Speed - I bought it for all the reasons listed. I knew it was a risk and a new technology with possible issues that may arise but it was to important for me not to consider...

When do you find that you should typically hit reset? Every time you charge?

I was thinking the same exact thing :)

Hi Jeff, Sounds like you have your work cut out for you at this point. I am a new Nissan Leaf owner and I am trying to be optimistic and I want this to succeed. I keep thinking after reading these posts that I will be watching a Who Killed the Electric Car II soon if something is not done...

The way that I took it was the latter that if we had something happen such as example given was we suddenly lost a huge amount of capacity within a small amount of time of owning the car then that would be replaced. Perhaps they were lying to us I do not know but that was what I remember the...

Hi, I am one of those Austin buyers. We were told that if the battery was truly defective and that if it lost capacity too fast (not the normal lithium ion capacity loss) then that was under warranty. We were also told that the "modules" could be replaced so that you are not just replacing...

Thanks :) I have found the Austin Forum to be informative :) I loved the Electric Car song. I didn't even know TMBG had done that song. So much for thinking I was a big fan.

Hi and welcome. I too just bought my leaf a few days after you :) I am thinking of naming mine R2D2 because it is white and the insides have all the blue lights. I do not have a charger installed yet either but in the process. It takes about 10 hours to charge to 80% but I am getting about...

Welcome. I just got my Leaf last week as well :) I love this forum for the people and all the tips and tricks I am learning. So far my car is behaving just as expected and everyone who finds out I have one seems very excited about them. I too had done quite a bit of research and have...

New 2012 Leaf Owner here :) Austin TX http://instagram.com/p/PCWdT8gB9x/

That is such good news. I love spreading the word of my new car. Just showed a co-worker the new toy and he was impressed and was thinking of getting one. Didn't realize the room and the size of the car. The only thing that we were worried about is upgrading the house's electric box. We...

As for the ext warranty we got the "Gold" which I think was 72 months and it was about 60 more a month. We refused at first and they came down and they removed road hazard which they felt we didn't need anyway. We already knew about how the battery warranty works but the sales guys Dana and...

I bought it at Town North Nissan. They are giving good deals and also a Chargepoint card for 1 yr free charging. We still need to get the charger installed at the house.

Got back from the dealership and I got my 2012 Glacier Pearl White Leaf SL. We love it and we decided to buy but get the extended warranty in case of any oopses. We talked to the dealership and they said that most likely not a lot of changes will happen in 2013 since there regional managers...

Thanks everyone for the quick comments. I am glad to hear that you are having such good luck Ian. I live south and work north so I head up through Mopac to the Domain area so I figure I am okay. I will have to learn to be less of a lead foot since I don't get the mileage out of my Prius...

Hi everyone, One of our current ICE transmission is about to die and the cost to replace is pretty much more than what the price of the vehicle is worth and our other car is a Prius. We are looking into putting our money where our mouths are and getting an electric car. The Leaf appears at...
