I live in Nashville, so it isn’t necessary a lot of the time. However, when it is cold outside...uggggg so nice. Especially because it is a leather wrapped wheel. My wife is jealous of it.

That’s why I have a charger in my house for my Leaf (about $500 installed , including the extra 220v line, btw. Not thousands.) And the charger that came with the car in it’s nicely designed case in it’s designed spot in the trunk. As a spare. Almost like Nissan thought of that...

I bought a used ‘13 Leaf for $10,800. Don’t buy a new EV. Lease or buy one that just came off a 3 year lease.

I bought a ‘13 Leaf SL for $10,800. 37k miles, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, nav. Buy an off lease EV, they are dirt cheap and usually well cared for.

I DD an 8 bar 2013 Leaf. I get ~50 miles to a charge with the heat running. It’s fine for my commute. I charge it overnight, and with the climate timers its always at 68 degrees in the morning when I leave for work. We have my wife’s ‘15 Focus for longer trips. I don’t miss pumping gas...

We have a Neato Botvac Connected. It works great. It very rarely gets stuck. It navigates from the hardwood floors to the area rug and back without issues. The waste cup is plenty big enough to handle a full vacuum. I schedule it to run during the morning when we are work, or I can turn it on from my phone or even an…

And that’s how The Cult of the Rusty Jeep started.

I recently got a 2013 SL non-premium, so no Bose sound system or surround view camera system (or backup camera for that matter). 37k miles on it for $10,800. I gambled a bit on it because it was a 9 bar car (9 capacity bars out of the original 12 showing on the dash). Before buying it, I called Nissan’s EV support…

At least someone at Mitsubishi is doing something interesting. Maybe it will be self driving with a built in beer cooler that dispenses from taps on the dash.

To the nearest Nissan dealer to buy a cheap Leaf.

I see no issue with this...any of this.

Should’ve impounded them, and towed them to a nice beach-side surface lot.

Correct me if I’m wrong, because I honestly don’t know, but isn’t it more efficient to produce the electricity to charge an EV, then to produce the gasoline to power an ICE car? So, on one hand we are burning the coal or natural gas to create the electricity, that is passed through our existing grid to charge the EV.…

Seriously, so good if it’s done right. Bolton’s is a favorite of mine. Gotta love that they have signs warning you not to rub your eyes or go to the bathroom without scrubbing your hands first.

Do we need tickets?

Here’s something you shouldn’t stare directly at. Or look at in general.

Maybe they should go the kit car route at this point? Sell the plans, sell parts, let those that are interested pay more for a fully assembled vehicle. Then if that goes well, ramp up from there into full manufacturing. As basic as is it, it seems like it would be easy for someone with some mechanical knowledge to…

It’s a Lambo bro

I have a first gen Leaf with a degraded battery. I get ~60 miles to a charge, Gets me to and from work, and some errands and such on the way. It makes for a good second car for our family.

It is at 9 bars, and is close to dropping. I bought this one on purpose because it is still under warranty and I was pretty sure it would drop the bar in time. I confirmed with Nissan that the warranty was valid before purchasing. I have until June 29th 2018 and 13k miles to drop the last bar. I run LeafPro on my…
