It's been many years... And I still have my Leaf (the first one sold), but I haven't been using it at all for quite a few years now. I don't want to sell it (yet) but was wondering if maybe a museum would be interested in displaying it. I don't have any experience in that regard, and what to...

Last Monday, I got invited to Ghosn's talk at Stanford, and during the Q&A sessions, he said that he was expecting battery capacity to double within 4-5 years. Seems like both a pretty bold statement, and a very exciting one. He even mentioned that between R&D and actual product at scale, you...

So, when I got my car back in december, I told everyone that I was working for Fanhattan, a startup working on a Content Discovery service, but couldn't really give more information. If you want to check out what it's all about (and if you like movies and tv shows), then you can download the...

Was driving inside my apartment complex... I'm pretty sure it was someone who got the address from plugshare... Kinda weird and freaky at the same time. Too bad he didn't stop when I waived... And I was only on the parking lot because I was looking for my missing kitten. Strange coincidence !

I have never had a low battery warning since I got the update (the one for the AC bug). Yesterday I drove home with only 1 bar left, and 7 or 8 miles of range remaining, but still hadn't had a low battery warning. Before the update it used to get triggered at about 2 bars left... Has anyone...

So, of course turbo tax doesn't support the right form, and when trying to fill form 8911, I end up with no credit I can use. The reason is that while I'm not paying any AMT before the $7,500 credit from the LEAF purchase, and while even if I was paying the AMT I could deduct the $7,500 from the...

There is a reporter from Dan Rather Reports who would like to meet and interview (quote) "LEAF owners who charge their cars not only at home, but also away from home (office, public station, etc...)" In case you'd be up for it (I've talked to her over the phone and she seemed really nice)...

I don't know if this comes from the CD itself (it's a "Music Together" CD, ie, a CD you get when your kids attend some kind of music activity), but the Nissan's player did pull the track names and everything ... Pretty cool if you ask me (I don't use CDs that much anymore, but I was impressed).

So, the main screen clock is set from the GPS (I believe, cause you can't set it) ... but the dashboard clock has to be set manually ... the two were out of sync for about 3 minutes after a month and half ... It actually took me a while to realize that they were not set together ... and of...

Yesterday night, I noticed a sound in my home (some kind of rumbling buzz, similar to what you hear bellow high voltage lines), while my car was charging. It was late so I didn't want to get outside and see if it was the EVSE, but tonight, after coming home and plugging the car, before the timer...

The CVRP process was easy and fast. You fill in the online form then receive an email (from someone real, to whom you can ask questions) that you need to print, sign and return along with a few documents ( utility bill, registration tag, copy of the sale contract). They accepted it really...

Seriously, this carwings stuff is crazy ! You can configure up to 20 RSS Feeds that your car will (apparently) download and keep up to date ! Heck, I'll add this forum ! :D

I had not used the dashboard since I got my car, and only played with the iphone app. Today, to see what the dashboard looked like after delivery of the car, I logged into carwings .... I haven't had time to look at all the pages yet, but there's a LOT of information there. Here's a small...

This is a true story, I swear I didn't make it up ... (I've never made up things on things on this forum). Yesterday, I drop a friend at his place, and while backing up in his driveway, a man walks towards the car, and knocks on the passenger window. I open it, and he says : "Hi sir, my car...

It was raining today (and the noise from the tires is much higher with rain). When I turned the car off, I hadn't turned off the windshield wippers. They automatically go back to their "rest" position. I know that many cars do that today, but it's nice to see that Nissan has thought about...

I used cruise control on 101 (which is completely flat) tonight when going home. I exited after about 6 miles with an average mileage of 3.5 miles / kWh. Assuming the 24kWh battery capacity, that's 84 miles of range (climate control off).

So, first, some answers from the questions I got in the other thread : - I made it home with 10 miles left as indicated by the car. I think that I drove about 85/90 miles that day, and recharged in SF for 5-10 miles. We did most of the Petaluma -> SF highway at 55, and I did SF->Redwood City at...
