I haven't, but one of the Tucson dealer people commented to me awhile back that if I knew someone who got down to 8, that they shouldn't bring it in instantly that day because if it was very borderline, the check might show it momentarily as back up to 9, and that would cause inconvenience of having to go through the whole process again later on. However, it sounds like you have already given it a waiting period.skippycoyote wrote:Has anybody had their batteries replaced yet under the new warranty against capacity loss?

Never believe anything you hear from the dealer. This has been illustrated time and again on this forum. The bars are very slow to move and there hasn't been any report of them flickering back and forth (they must have some hysteresis). The sooner you bring it in, the sooner you will be bringing in the replacement (on your dime). Get as much out of the battery as you can (keep driving it until you are either near the end of the warranty or it no longer gets you where you need to go).jlsoaz wrote:I haven't, but one of the Tucson dealer people commented to me awhile back that if I knew someone who got down to 8, that they shouldn't bring it in instantly that day because if it was very borderline, the check might show it momentarily as back up to 9, and that would cause inconvenience of having to go through the whole process again later on.

I will be curious to hear more as to your experience on this.
I don't know any more. I went to look into this myself a year or two ago when I was visiting there, and it didn't work out. Enterprise used to rent some in Tucson (so I tried them in Phoenix) but that didn't work out. (I don't remember who I talked to or what agency, but the only PEV I could find to rent that day was a Model S, and I couldn't afford it, so I let it go).inphoenix wrote:Is there any place in Phoenix Metro area where I can rent a leaf for couple of days?
I called around trying to find a place to rent a LEAF when my 2011 was crunched. I was unable to find any EV to rent so ended up driving a gas burner which cost me in fuel and time (no carpool lane access). As noted in a previous post, Enterprise used to rent them but not any more.inphoenix wrote:Is there any place in Phoenix Metro area where I can rent a leaf for couple of days?
