I know this has been discussed before, but a nice guy posted this video: http://youtu.be/1poPD69xFY8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I tried it, and the simple exposure made changing the air filter quite easy. Only 10 easy to get to screws, all the same, all self tappers, a few...

Leafpals: Love my 2013 SV. I have it set to charge to 80% at 2:30 AM every night. Works great. Tonight I will probably start charging this evening by manual command, which should take the car to 100% as I am driving far tomorrow. If the charge has not reached 100% by the time my timer goes off...

Leafpals: Put on your Swami hats and help me read the tea leaves of the future... I have a 2013 SV I love. 14,000 miles, 12 bars. Meets my needs. My 2 year lease is up 5/15. I am anxiously awaiting the longer range EV's such as what Nissan may do, or Tesla 3. Looks like those cars will not be...

Leafpals: I had my car serviced for the 1 year on May 7. No problems. In fact, they did the brake update and now no grabby brakes! But, for some reason, Carwings is not registering my mileage etc. anymore. When I picked up the car I had to reset the timers, but all else was well. I get emails...

Seems like Carwings is not working. I can't log in from the web or the app. Anybody know what the story is?

Leafpals: I brought my MY 2013 Leaf in to the dealer earlier this week for them to replace the driver's side door window switch plastic panel. It wasn't installed correctly at the factory, and the edges stuck up. So, they got the part and replaced it. It fits much better now. In order to...

Leafpals: Just wanted to mention what a great car the Leaf is. On a message board we often see lots of complaints. I understand. I think the Leaf is a fantastic early mass produced EV, and it does what I want it to do. Today I marked part of the course for the Tour d'Organics bike ride. I will...

Leafpals: I have looked at some interesting threads about sounds coming out of our Leafs. Mine started making a clicking sound about 500 miles ago. It is a sharp metallic click or two when starting and stopping. Some of the thoughts on this board in the past were: service bulletin number...

Today was an interesting day with our Leaf. We drove from our house in Sonoma County to the hospital in San Rafael to visit a friend. Then a quick stop at the Blink QC at the market in San Anselmo for a top off. Now, that thing is amazing. Brought the charge up to 94% or so in about 20 minutes...

Leafpals: I have had my 2013 SV with QC for about 2 weeks now. I just love the thing. The more I drive it the more I appreciate some very smart things that were done. So, it has been really fun. Today my wife and I drove from our home in Sonoma County to San Francisco just for the fun of it...

I have just spent one week with my new Leaf. I just love the car. I've put about 300 miles on it. Anyway, I have been playing with various modes just to see how they feel and how they affect range. Now, this is just anecdotal testing, but there you are. I don't need much range in my day to day...

Leaf pals: Today was a fun day in my 1 week old Leaf. We took a trip from my home in Sebastopol up above Healdsburg in Sonoma county. On the way back, even though I had all kinds of charge left for the day's festivities, I thought it would be interesting to try a public charging station for the...

Leafpals: I have read many posts about how the climate control works, and I am still a bit confused. Part of the issue is the fact that I have a 2013, which now has the compressor for heat. So... When I hit the auto button, the auto light comes on as does the A/C light. Now, suppose I just...

What does the MY stand for in MY13 Leaf?

I am going to pull the trigger tomorrow and lease my Leaf from North Bay Nissan in Petaluma. I have all the basic numbers and total cost. What I don't know is if GAP insurance is included standard on all NMAC leases, or is it an option? If it is an option, I will go with my insurance company for...

Leaf pals: I am now officially in the market for a Leaf SV with QC here in Sonoma County. When I pick up the car I want to make sure I don't make any mistakes. So, I assume I have to make sure they set up the car with CarWings. Also, do I need to become a Blink and Chargepoint member ASAP? What...

Leafpals: I think I am about to pull the trigger. I notice that most of you are going for 24 month leases instead of 36 month leases. Any particular reason why? I am in California, and with a 36 month lease we get a $2500 rebate, but not with a 24 month lease. As a practical matter it doesn't...

Just checked the website, and it looks like California has about $3 million left in the rebate fund. Anybody have a sense of the rate of decay of that fund, and whether it will be renewed?

I wear a tie to work, so I like to use the air-conditioner at times to keep the car cool. How well does the climate control work on the Leaf? Does it cool the car well?

OK, I've never leased before, and I have been looking over the forums for various advice. I now have an offer for a 2013 Leaf SL with floor mats for this: 36 month lease vehicle price $33,495.00 acquisition fee $595.00. Gross cap cost $34,090.00 cap cost reduction $7500.00 Nissan incentive...
