Now did they play a part in the delay? Hard to say. But Nissan has never been open to the internal workings of their company. Even as a LEAF Advisory Board Member, we were not told a lot concerning engineering challenges Nissan faced. <br /><br />Their decision to go without TMS (which is the battery end game goal for EVERYONE) from the onset has created monumental challenges that they are still working on and the changes in the 2018 reflect that. Slower DCFC charging with ramp down current happening earlier, etc. Now that "could be" weather related so can't make any real conclusions till the weather warms up but it does appear to be the case, initially.

I also pre-ordered my 2018 Leaf SV with tech package back in October and put a $500 deposit on it. Since then the dealer has pushed my estimated delivery date from end of January, to end of February, and now mid-March.

It would seem the GOM is a bit conservative when getting down to the bottom. Yesterday, I was at 15% and it was stating a range of 21 miles and there was a charging station that was convenient easy off, easy on from I-5 (AAA in Lynnwood) so stopped there and after loading LEAF Spy, it said I had 115 GIDs left which is closer to 35 miles! <br /><br />So naturally, one thins I will be investigating is running the charge down lower to see how the GOM reacts cause I think I might be in for some surprises!DaveinOlyWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745403231379474738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-87454672141766427742018-02-22T07:20:50.268-08:002018-02-22T07:20:50.268-08:00Thanks Dave, Don't get me wrong, I do believe ...Thanks Dave, Don't get me wrong, I do believe that the range is very achievable. What I am not understanding is how the onboard numbers come up with the miles per kwh...in one video on youtube, the leaf owner did 102.1 miles and consumed 86% of the battery (travelled 70+ mph) and the onboard consumption number was 3.4 miles per kwh. If the useable battery is 38.2 kwh, should that number be closer to 3.1 miles per kwh? I am wonder if that number would be found in LeafSpy, hence my original question.<br /><br />Thanks DonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-87397374916909136442018-02-20T16:50:13.693-08:002018-02-20T16:50:13.693-08:00The overestimation of range is normal for me becau...The overestimation of range is normal for me because I live on side of hill so coming home from the North (its actually mostly East) I am descending a hill so my GOM is always a bit inflated but other than that, I can assure you, only extreme driving will prevent you from getting 150 miles on a charge. This morning, I started out at 24º and drove 65 mph, picked up passenger, then dropped by office then made trek to Seattle.

It has high beam assist which switches to low beam when it senses oncoming cars (I don't use it because I have been on the blinded end of those and they react way too slowly) But the really cool feature is that auto headlights can be set to come on at dusk or when its darker. It also has custom "on time" on how long lights will stay on after you shut off car, etc. DaveinOlyWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745403231379474738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-49124217401064206052018-02-17T10:23:49.178-08:002018-02-17T10:23:49.178-08:00Much more to follow in next blog when I go over th...Much more to follow in next blog when I go over the settings menu but prelim look says no custom charge settings.
