It's no wonder that our beloved FFE is such a fun ride when even the base model of the ICE version gets great reviews from an automotive enthusiast magazine...

Congratulations, koehler! That's a sweet deal. Hopefully others in NorCal are can benefit from your work. As far as the $200/mo Leaf lease - Nissan is running a $199/mo+tax lease deal right now, with $2000 down + tax, license, etc - but that's for the el-strippo Leaf S. Folks have reported...

koehler - is the $318.56/mo from Fremont a $0 drive-off, or is there $318.56 due at signing? If $0 drive-off, you should only have 35 payments, which sweetens the deal a little bit...

You are awesome, jachady! Gotta love a guy that really knows how to market his product. I initially thought your graphics were over-the-top, but not any more, especially after seeing your photo of it as a pace car at a local track. Sounds like you are creating awareness and getting results!

No problem! One more thing, not sure if you're new to leasing, but here's one more thing to consider - suggest you try to get a lower drive-off, preferably $0 due at signing followed by 35 payments. Just in case life takes a turn for the worse (or better) and want to turn in the car early, or...

koehler - Folks that posted on this thread got a lower lease deal not too long ago (see pages 6 and 7); ~$10K total over 3 years for 12Kmi/yr, all inclusive (tax, license, etc), before the $2500 CA rebate. Folks I'm thinking about got those deals in So Cal; perhaps the market is different...

Earlier today out of the blue, sync said I needed to insert a valid SD card for nav to work (sorry I don't remember the exact wording). So I shut down, pulled out the SD card, reinserted, powered up. Same message. So I gave up... just parked it and charged for a few hours (was already late for a...

This is interesting stuff! Is this information somewhere online? Can you point us to it?

No Leaf TV ads here in Los Angeles County. And no dealer newspaper ads from what I've seen. Haven't seen a Volt TV ad since the Winter Olympics (they were pathetic anyway). A few dealer newspaper ads, though. Seeing a LOT of Fiat 500e TV ads lately - every night during the news on local...

I've posted the link to Ford's Sustainability Report a number of times. Clearly (to me, at least, and I review and have written similar reports as part of my job) they intend to continue to evolve and produce BEVs for a while because it is a core technology for alternative drivetrains they...

Here is a much less slanted spin on the same quote without the negative conjecture, arguably from a more credible source (in my opinion) that has been paying attention to EVs all along. http://insideevs.com/ford-stays-focused-phevs-evs-wont-losing-fortune/ In the context of Ford powertrains...

Wow, that is on the other end of the spectrum! That is cool. Mine is somewhere in the middle, we're charged $1/hr when hooked up to one of the company's 16 L2 EVSE, which are about 50% utilized since doubling the capacity in December, so no waiting... yet. So, are you supposed to tip the...

1. Sport mode with 100mph+ top speed and better low-end acceleration. 2. More user control over charging times and current levels (like the Volt perhaps, but Tesla's level of flexibility is really what I'd like) 3. More efficient heating system. The A/C seems to be incredibly efficient compared...

50 miles of range in 100-degree weather with the A/C on is no problem, in my experience. I suggest a lighter color (white, platinum white, silver) if you plan on driving and parking in hot sunnny weather a lot. I've had no range degradation after 13 months. Wouldn't expect much degradation after...

I love it!!! Must be inspired by Ford's rich rally history.

Belated congratulations, michael! That's cool that you got your stickers already... CARB still hasn't cashed the check for my Volt stickers, and it's been about a month. Starting to get worried, only 7000 green stickers left and it seems more an more dealers are ordering them up front. I shoulda...

I like them too, but I don't like cleaning them. Fortunately brake dust buildup hasn't been an issue at all.

As long as we're comparing apples to oranges, why not look at larger vehicles in the BEV "class"? Toyota RAV4 EV: 4032 lb Tesla Model S: 4647.3 lb
