Who is driving 2013 Leaf? EPA range is 75 miles!!!

[MrIanB]

Someone have to check on that in person, but looks like what is on the sticker for S, SV and SL concerning EPA range is 75 miles, no difference (phone call to 2 dealers).
Nissan of McKinney have them

Yep, I'm going to try and run by there tomorrow and see what I can find out.

They have 2 SV and S, in Austin they have SV and SL

If you tell me the dealer's name I may swing by and check.

Went by Town North Nissan and they have the 2 2013 Leafs on hand. Neither had the price sticker labels on the window to see the EPA rating. Spoke to the Leaf specialist salesman and he told me the rating went up to 83 miles.

No pics since the stickers were not on the windows. Only info I got was from the Leaf specialist. I wonder if stickers not on because they have not gotten the EPA certification yet on the 2013 and can not put it on the window??

Ian B

What info did they give you?

 

[EdmondLeaf]

I was told that EPA range same for all models 75 miles

So I'm guessing that you'd rather me go over to Lewisville instead of McKinney? The Lewisville dealership doesn't have any new LEAFS listed on their website, are you sure they have them there?

AUTONATION NISSAN LEWISVILLE HAVE 1- S and 4 SL in stock, they got them last night.

If they got them last night, would they already be out on the lot? It's a bit of a drive over to Lewisville, so I want to be sure there's something to see over there before I make the trip.

That would be disappointing!

We are trying to get correct info, hopefully we will have that today. There is quite few in Dallas already, hard to get info over the phone. Talking to salesman I heard 100-116 number quite few times but I do not believe that is true. Highest VIN so far is 2145, so looks like Nissan is producing good number of Leaf

My friend who has been eye'ing me driving Leaf for the last one year, already test drove one yesterday. He was quoted something around $235/month for 3 years with around $4K down payment which includes tax & title. I advised him to walk away.

Apparently he saw the MPGe number (130) on the sticker and was almost convinced that was the range. He doesn't recall seeing a separate range number though.

I am definitely getting a 2012 Prius if thats the case.

Ok, went to Nissan Lewisville. They had 2013 1 LEAF S model, and about 6-7 2013 SL models. I took TONS of pictures. I have to unload the pics off my phone, resize them and upload them to Photobucket, but here's the word on the range according to the stickers on the cars: 75 miles

More to come a little later

 

[mkjayakumar]

I thought Tony Williams accurately predicted 75 miles, using several other numbers that were thrown around as EPA cycles in Japan and such.

 

[EdmondLeaf]

Thank you very much, and sorry to send you there. EPA range less than I expected, based on increase in mpge should be 80-81.

Sticker from the S model, notice this particular car has the 6.6 charger on it as an option (along with the rear camera, WITHOUT THE STEREO UPGRADE)
