Great read and thanks!

Thanks for displaying the screens - this is such an improvement over Gen 1! I drove an S yesterday and was totally impressed with ePedal - very smooth deceleration especially compared to Bolt. I only have 2200 miles on my 2017 S and tempted to sell it for a 2018 S!

Yeah, it took me all of 5 seconds in Las Vegas to fall in love with one pedal. Notice the car can stop smoother than you can? When I stop, I always have that tiny jerk at the very end just before the full stop happens. Not with e pedal. It is very much a perfectly controlled stop in EVERY way!

Congratulations, Dave! And thanks for posting about your new LEAF.

I have to admit I glanced at your blog and looked at the second photograph and thought "Wow! Dave really hasn't aged well!" I was happy to see that wasn't actually you! (And, no, you don't have to tell your salesman what I wrote!)

Off to read your post now...

Congrats, brother! It will be interesting to follow your posts. I wish you could have held out for the ProPilot, though.

Adaptive CC and hybrid heaters were my main draw but the reality is I saved a TON going this way (about $13,000 less than a Bolt) and there have been a lot of upgrades to the basic package. I am working on "Day 2" where I will details all the settings options. Including the "non options"

Just came back from the Chicago auto show and sat in an SL. Wow dit it feel noticeably bigger and the interior was much nicer than the Bolts . Have 2 years left on our 16 lease. Looking forward to bigger better options at that time.
