Yes, Sep-6-2016 was the when it lost the first capacity bar. My VIN ends in 413595.

I lost the first capacity bar on my Leaf yesterday morning. Details as follows: 2013 Leaf SV Manufactured: Jul 2013 Delivered: July 2013 (factory order, so was on the dealers lot for less than 24 hours) Max gid reading ever recorded: 267 12->11 bars on: 2013-09-06 - 36,147 miles, 240 gids...

For iOS users, I found that if I force quit the Nissan iPhone app after activating the Climate Control, the next time I launched the app, I wouldn't have to do the dance of turning off the climate control (which was really off) before I could send the On command. Of course, the next time you...

It's in one of the Eco->Carwings screens. I'm pretty sure it's labeled "Send to Car". It used to work, but failed recently. The behavior that a couple people have noticed is that no new data is getting added to the car. In my case, I see the four addresses that I added a while back (3+ months...

And the odometer reads 60,049, so it wouldn't be eligible for a battery replacement under warranty. That owner should have parked the car 1,000 miles ago and let it bake in the summer heat to degrade the battery and lose that 4th bar...

The "conducting pouch" (anti static bag for electronics) would be the first thing to try. If that doesn't work, and you're the only driver on the Leaf, remove the batteries from one of the key fobs and use that when you go to the beach. You would stash your key fob like normal, and use the...

The dealer can recommend Schedule 1, but you as the consumer should look at the documentation provided by Nissan in the service booklet. They give the types of driving that would warrant Schedule 1 over the less intensive Schedule 2 maintenance. My driving clearly fell in the #2 maintenance...

Regarding the installation of a TED system. I have a three sensor TED 5000 system installed. Two sensors are installed inside the breaker panel located in the basement (measure power consumed by the house and the EVSE recharging the Leaf). I have a third sensor mounted inside a breaker panel on...

Is it really this bad for where direct sales are banned? I only knew of the ~5 states where it's been well publicized about the direct sales ban. For example, I assumed that, while Tesla didn't currently have a store in Kansas, this was just a business decision that they didn't have a huge...

Also note that today isn't a good indication of how the car will behave as temps stay cold. Before that cold front came through Colorado, Kansas and the rest of the Mid-West yesterday, temps were very mild at 60-70 degrees. There's a lot of thermal mass in that battery. It will take a couple...

Turnover, assuming they're sending you an encrypted PDF file, you may try using the official Acrobat Reader program to open the document. I've had trouble opening encrypted PDF files with anything other than Acrobat Reader. Similarly, if it's a .doc or .docx file, use the latest version of...

I had a similar issue for finding the TED Gateway that I use to monitor power consumption in the house. I solved this by logging into my router's admin functions and assigning that device a "static DHCP" (or assigned DHCP) address. The device continues to do DHCP, but I just forced the router to...

Now, THAT would be a great enhancement! My panels are mounted on a relatively flat (and slick metal) roof, so it takes a while for the snow to melt off my panels. I tend to come up short on production in the winter, partially due to snow cover.

I've got spreadsheets that have been used to track every expense (depreciation, fuel, insurance, taxes, maintenance, accessories like floor mats and running boards, washer fluid, etc...) on my vehicles for the last 20 years. The only expense that I don't track in my spreadsheets is car washes...

I have a ClipperCreek LCS-25 hardwired in the garage. They make high quality hardware, and have been making these products for a long time. They have great support on their products. Note that I also did the EVSE upgrade on the EVSE included in my 2013 Leaf SV. Having both allows me to have L2...

The least expensive L2 charger I have seen for outright purchase (not evseupgrade.com) is the ClipperCreek LCS-20 for $395, which provides 15 Amps of charging power. http://www.clippercreek.com/store/product/charging-station-lcs-20-level-2/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. They...

Stopping deposits to your 401(k) is a pretty bad way to increase your tax liability. Other ideas include: - Switch from traditional 401(k) to Roth 401(k) - if it's offered - Convert money from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA - shuffle tax deductions from this year to next year (make a large...

My Leaf shows the same **** for the phone number, so that shouldn't be an issue. Many times, these initial Carwings issues are because the dealer didn't "activate Telematics" in the car before delivery. You might call them today and ask if they did that step. While the delivery process was a...

Nice setup, but in my opinion, your 16 awg extension cord, especially at 50' long, is a little weak. You should be using a 14 awg at least, or even 12 awg.

And if you haven't followed the other threads on the topic, Nissan *did* announce a battery replacement price. The price is $5,500 (including trading in your current battery) plus something like $200 for an adapter kit for the 2011 Leaf that you purchased. It sounded like this would be a...
