I think bumping the park button at speed would shift into neutral too. That seems more likely than accidentally pulling the shift handle to the left, then forward.

The creep feature is there (in my opinion, of course) for 4 reasons; 1) Nissan has done everything possible to make the Leaf experience identical to driving a gas car, other than the fact that the Leaf is quiet, and you don't have to visit gas stations. 2) To alert the driver as to which...

As long as the temperature is over 60 degrees inside the car, you can blow cold air on an unmodified '11 or '12 leaf. Sometimes I bring up the energy use screen, and modulate the set temperature to keep the energy usage at or below 1kw, and still keep the car fairly cozy.

I did a google search, and turns out it is an antiquated flammable fuel that people used to pour into their vehicles. I think my grandpa used to use it to drive to town. :D

In a previous post, someone mentioned 7 amps draw at 12 volts for a lap throw. That would be 84 watts, so in a one hour drive it will take 84 watt/hours of energy, which would equate to about 1/3 of a mile range reduction if you get 4 miles/kwhr. In contrast, if you are careful with the Leaf's...

I only have small quads, but some of the guys I fly with fly AR drones and phantoms. The flight times I have seen with the phantoms is from about 6 minutes to 8 minutes. What flight times are you getting, and what battery packs are you using TickTock? I have a small quad ($37.00 from Value...

When I get into my Leaf in the morning the GOM may read anywhere from about 70 miles to 123 mile on an 80% charge, depending on how much traffic there was the evening before. Changing from no climate control and eco mode to climate control on and drive mode may show a 20 mile difference in...

I measured the current draw when I got my 2012 SL, and as I recall it was about 5 amps at 12 volts (60 watts) for each of the front seats, but I don't remember what it was for the back seat.

Exactly. I use the fan without heat when the car is hot from sitting in the sun, but the temperature outside is cool. The method I described above works 100% for my purposes. When I have a fogged up windshield, I use the defog button, and turn the temperature up to 80 degrees or so, then turn it...

I run the fan without the heater or air conditioning all the time on my unmodified 2012 SL. I just turn off the A/C, and turn the temperature down to 60 degrees. It won't work if the temperature inside the car falls below 60 degrees, but I won't be running the fan without heat if it the...

No, if you accidentally bounce your finger for a double press, you don't hear 2 beeps (at least I don't think you do). Everything on the dash including the entertainment system goes dark, and there is no indication that the car is in accessory mode for several seconds. I recently did a double...

+1 You need an indoor rated EVSE I have the Schneider EVSE, and mine would be a mixed review. It works fine, never had a problem in almost a year, but the case is thin, difficult to open, and there isn't enough room around the knockouts for the cord connector. I had to put the cord connector...

I have the Schneider, and I'm not crazy about it. It works fine, never had a problem, but the case is really flimsy. It's difficult to get the front cover off, and it feels like it's going to break. It was a pain to connect the supply cord because there isn't enough room around the holes for the...

The MFG dates for the recall are August 13 2012 to March 17th 2013, so your EVSE is not part of the recall. My EVSE is included in the recall by date and serial number, but it doesn't have the TE Connectivity J1772 plug, so it should be okay too.

I just received notification that there is a recall on Schneider EV2430 and EV230 EVSEs with the first 5 digits of the serial number between 12331 and 13117 using the TE Connectivity J1772 plug. Under certain conditions the handle can overheat.

You could get 70 miles per charge fairly easily with a new battery, without using the climate control if you are willing to slow down a bit from the 75 mph, but as the battery degrades (it will no doubt degrade fairly quickly charging to 100% and discharging to near 0% twice a day), or if you...

I tried to order the 30 amp J1772 plug and cable using the above promo code, and got the following message "We're sorry, but the promotional code you entered is not valid for the item(s) included in this order. Please check the details of the offer and try again, or enter a different promotional...

I'll try it out if you like. I have a 2012 SL. I live in Norwalk, and work in Huntington beach.

Stoaty; I'm using an HTC Vivid phone, and it works fine, so you can add that to the wiki if you like. I too bought one of the larger bluetooth elm327 adapters from Newlaunch on Ebay, and it does not seem to work. I'm not sure if I'll try to find the unsoldered lead, or just send it back.

This is not the first time this has come up. If you look on page 6 of this thread, you wil see that Jim (Turbo3) had the same temperature reading (-11699.8) on cell 3 of a 2013 on the showroom floor.
