    New England Leafs?

    Welcome. Loved dealing with Josh and Jim in Marlboro, they beat out six other dealers, not just on price, but on the easy way they do business. Know you'll have a lot of fun this weekend. Enjoy!

    New England Leafs?

    Chris Mason, director of energy and sustainabilty for Northampton replies that they are working on parking regulations to allow enforcement, and awaiting better signage from the state. Told him he shouldn't take the AeroEnvironment stations the DOT is giving him, but try to get Chargepoint...

    Brattleboro, Vermont

    What's up Brattleboro? Any plans afoot to install charge stations? Can't find much of any in southern Vermont, just a home or two on PlugShare. Burlington has a lot, but not a one in Brattleboro? Brat's well within range of me and love to go there, but too far for a RT without some charge...

    New England Leafs?

    Our first weekend with the Leaf and we thought we'd try a Sunday drive. We figure anywhere in a 50 mile radius of Worcester is safe in winter since we dont want to skimp on heat or defrost, and while we could probably get back on one charge, for now we'll pick destinations we can charge at for...

    Window won't roll up

    True, gears similar to the powered version, but no motor or wiring to fail, so simpler, less to break down. Never broke a handle myself, but very simple to change out, in fact, if you did break one, you could temporarily use one of the others.

    Window won't roll up

    Maybe so, but this thread is about a sticky window that jammed. With cranks you don't get balky motors and loose wiring connections, you just roll them up.

    Window won't roll up

    OK, not what buyers expect at the $35k price point, but then 99.9% of car buyers in the US don't buy Leafs, because it's a $35k car that they can't drive anywhere. Like a gas car that gets great milage but only has a one gallon tank, and if you can find a gas station, the fill hose is 1/16"...

    Window won't roll up

    Just a thought . . Why not go back to window cranks and save whatever little power the window motors use?

    Anyone tried renegotiating a lease?

    For what it's worth, I'd like to thank all of you who took a chance on being an early, early adopter. You may have paid full price for an uncertain piece of technology, (if you can renegotiate, more power to you), but it's people like you who widen the crack in big oil's wall to let the masses...

    New England Leafs?

    LOVE the heated steering wheel! A subtle yet wonderful way to coerce me to keep both hands on the wheel. Still listening for an engine to turn over when I start it too. Maybe they could make an engine rev noise one of the start up sound options. It's so quiet! But sounds like a fork truck when...

    New England Leafs?

    Well, thanks you two. This is my first time in a car forum, and I guess that makes the experience different right there, but it proved invaluable as a research tool, and to assure me that the car was reliable enough to risk commiting to. I did specify that I wanted the MA EV plates, turns out...

    New England Leafs?

    Picking up blue 2012 SL tomorrow in Marlboro. Too much the frugal New Englander to be an early, early adopter. Don't normally drive a lot, maybe 8k last 12months, but will probably use it for more local family errands and on weekends and save the gas in the second car for longer trips...

    Ventilation with windows close/best HVAC settings for 2012?

    Thats great, but what if your leasing and aren't allowed to modify the car? There's no other way to just use the fan below 60 degrees and not use heat? Going to pick mine up tomorrow, so would be helpful to know. Thanks

    Lease current 2012 model or wait for 2013?

    Is there still strong demand for 2012's in your area? Sounds high to me. But no one here really wants them, so they're cheaper. How many dealers are in range of you? Email them all a lowball bid for what you'd like to pay and play from there. I bid $99/month to six dealers for a 24 month with...

    Turning over a new leaf in central MA

    Thanks, I think you're right, and perhaps the people who buy Leafs are all geniuses, and maybe of us .001%, there are those .00001% who are super genius, Sheldon Cooper types, oh but wait, Sheldon doesn't drive . . . Sorry, I'm still on a high. Cant remember ever being this excited about a...

    Turning over a new leaf in central MA

    Thanks. Profile correctly lists Rochdale, MA, which is next to Worcester, about 40 miles west of Boston. Drive less than 10k/yr now, avg 30/day or so, but expect to drive more and use second car less. Got 15k/yr on lease so should be OK there, we'll see. Commute is only 20 round trip. L2 being...

    Turning over a new leaf in central MA

    Hello, This is my first post and introduction.  I'm happy to find you all and look forward to maximizing my use of the Leaf by learning things here. Community and shared experience rock. I'd like to thank the entire state of California. Just heard on NPR news that only 1/10 of 1% (.001) of US...
