^^^I understand. Point being I've yet to lose my first capacity bar at 22k miles while others are reporting 3 bar loss. I know the first bar represents 15.5% capacity loss so yeah, I could be close or I may not be. Point being, at least my car is not in the category of high wear rate for the...

Our 2017 Leaf s purchased in March 2017 just hit 22k miles and still no bar loss. No Leaf Spy so can't give numbers. We're located in San Diego a couple blocks from the water so climates are reasonably moderate and car is generally driven with a few miles of the coast where things are cooler...

Wheel discs are good for 1mpg on an ICE car, that may translate to about 1-2 mpg more per charge on a Leaf. Consider that adding 6psi increase in tire pressure adds 2-3 miles per charge. Pizza pans are aluminum and therefore light, and they're also cheap at $4-8 a pan. I've yet to do them...

Breaks my heart that true aero cars or kits aren't avail. Prob is, the kind of people that want them are inherently cheap, hence their purchase of an econo car (or EV). I think a removable boat tail (attached to a tralier hitch receiver) would be awesome along with some wheel covers and/or...

Lots of people are saying on this topic like they did on the 24 vs. 30kw pack interchangeability; that it can't be done. I have the feeling that it can and will be interchangeable WHEN Nissan decides. At this point tho, they don't want to cannibalize sales of their new cars. I sorta feel like...

Duh, was drinking a few beers and posted this in the wrong section, but who cares? Lol. But why do you think it really failed? Steve Fambro removing himself as CEO? Cuz it was a 3 wheeler that would have required a motorcycle license? Cuz they put outside mirrors on it and the CofDwent...

I had 2 deposits. One production # in the 300's and another around 1200. I got both my $500 deposits back. Anyone else? I see some familiar names on this forum. I was "Speedgsx98" on there. I recognize a few usernames on here that were on there like LTLFL Composite and PalmerMD and haven't...

Buy a car before Dec 31st if u want to secure the rebate for sure provided there is no news or deal on the current tax plan reconciliation process. If you don't make at least $95k a year, you start losing $$$ from the federal rebate. If u lease, that $7500 goes towrds the lease regardless of...

I have a 2017 Leaf (used to have a 2013) and I have 12k miles on it now. No bar loss. We hardly ever charge to 100% but QC every day. I don't think QC is as big a problem as charging the car to 100%, and with your post, that further solidifies that presumption.

UPDATE: bought the setup really cheap, and sold it shortly after. Hard to really notice any appreciable range gain. Tire was virtually same height as OEM at 25" and setup was lighter, conservative offset so as no to upset the aero profile. Hard to compare new to used tires tho regarding rolling...

^^^Very true Sagebrush. A new 2017 Leaf was highly discounted during the Spring and Summer of 2017. A new 2018 will not have such deep discounts at least not early on for sure. However, losing the Fed tax rebate can only help/not hurt the prices of used EV's.

I was saving our 2013 Leaf for our daughter but she refused to drive herself to school. So I sold it out from under her ungrateful self and gave her back her original teen car which was a 2002 Insight I had bought for her. Funny thing, right after I sold the Leaf she started warming up to...

I haven't been in the car business in sales since 2001. And motorcycle sales since 2003, and what I do now is totally unrelated to the automotive industry...I just know the business. Which btw, dealers notoriously don't update their online inventory as even if they don't have the car anymore...

Your orig tires WILL fit on the 16x7 Vision Cross. Not having seen the wheel tho, I wouldn't know if the spokes will clear the caliper. But, that could be easily remedied with some spacers if needed. I ran 17x9 245/45/17's on my Leaf and it handled incredibly! I've also run 5 other...

Me personally, I ditched the factory lead acid 12V battery and put in a 2lb Li-Ion batttery. I've run them in all my cars/motorcycles for the last 7 years. They're only $99 on Amazon too. I just used foam bricks to get the battery to the proper mounting height for the tie down. Oh, and not...

I'll humor you a bit, but I didn't say there would be "panicked buying" of used Leafs, but rather that used Leaf values have risen dramatically according to KBB values and that the rise in values may very well be only temporary. Let's say I find one of these Leafs that are still out there...

Supposedly next month in December. And, what price u can get a used SV for depends not only on where u live, but if we lose the Federal $7500 rebate on new EV's starting in 2018 as currently proposed.

I've done nearly 70k between 2 Leafs...a 2013 and a 2017. Don't sweat it. Also, know that you can "extend" you battery warranty by 5k miles to 105k miles by simply fitting larger tires on your car! I ran some 215/60/16's on my car before I sold it. Fixes the speedo error and makes it spot on...

This site shows that Leaf avail is rapidly dwindling. Will prob be only several dozen sold nationwide in November. We'll see in a few weeks. I'm sure most those are buried on Dealer lots somewhere obscure. And, loaded with a ton of dealer add ons like window etching, LoJack, etc. 55 Leafs...

So, I just sold my 2013 Leaf S a few weeks ago for $7k with 55k miles. I couldn't get anyone to come over and look at it 6 months earlier for $6k when it had 46k miles. A quick check on KBB confirmed that values were indeed up and still are after another check.. Seeing as u can't really buy a...
