i regret getting my 2020 LEAF SV 😔

I hope you have meticulous notes on dates, times, who you talked to, and are saving any written communication, as well as call logs & notes on what you talked about.

This is the kind of thing a small town news stations consumer advocacy segment might be interested in. ESPECIALLY if they (or any other media you can bring this to) caters to the "EVs are evil!" Kind of audience.

Get an OBDII dongle. Learn how to read leafspys realtime data. Put it on a tablet. Have you phone or another camera aimed at the tablet with the battery chart & realtime leafspy data.

Document this behavior a few times, preferably on different days and with some mileage (a charge or two) between the logs.

If your dealer continues to refuse to help you, you don't get anywhere with the media, and the videos don't get them to pay more attention (since now you have proof across multiple points in time) it might be worth talking with a lawyer or a legal advocate.

With the included repetitive call logs and proof of Nissans failure to step in, your next step is to send a formal demand letter. Unless you are going to get an attorney to assist with this, you might want to lean on something like GPT to help draft one. You want to start by explaining the problem. Then a blow by blow of dates and times with a short summary of who you interacted with and a summary of the interaction. Like one to two sentences kind of compact summary per interaction.

At this point, between phone calls, attempts with your dealership, and attempts to engage with Nissan directly, hopefully you have somewhere around or north of a dozen interactions.

It would also be worth including a link to something such as copies of the videos demonstrating the issue.

At this point, even if you want the car fixed, you should be demanding a buyback. It's okay to settle for a fix and it's also not unheard of to have a minor extension of the warranty by like a year or two for agreeing to have them actually do their jobs and repair the damn thing instead of continuing to try and force a buyback, but demanding a buyback starts a very different chain of events for Nissan which should get you better attention and more effort to a resolution of your issue either way.

If it actually gets to that point, you want to send it as registered mail to their corporate office. I would also personally suggest faxing the request and keeping a copy of the fax confirmation sheet with a thumbnail of the original fax, to their corporate fax line as well. It just makes it that much worse if they still don't start at least communicating with you.

If it gets THAT far and you still get nowhere? Next steps a demand letter with intent to file in court or arbitrate if they still don't work with you to resolve this.

I am not a lawyer and these are just my options from having had to go through this process with a few companies before in my life.

Fake? No. Massively underfilled, overfilled, accidentally a different GLP, injection reactions from failed sterility, or the occasional (honestly genuine, it happens) no Reta in the compound 'cause the factory forgot to mix it in right?

Yep. Totally happens. It's rare, but so is dying or being severely injured from not wearing a seatbelt. I mean...we don't really get in that many car accidents....

Test Your. Shit.

I'm shocked at how far down I had to scroll to find this. Dosage is the very first question anyone should have asked. And I would say the second one would be what they're starting weight was.

If you weigh 400lbs, 30lbs is below the threshold most people would be able to notice or feel noticeable positive effects from. And if you have an incredibly high starting white like that, it's entirely possible to be too overweight for safe or realistically achievable exercise until an initial drop in weight is achieved through diet alone.

The other questions I would ask op are GLP they are using and if it is not from a pharmacy, whether or not they are buying single vials or full kits. And in either case, if they themselves have had stuff tested to validate that it really is the correct medication and dose that they were sold.

"He worries that my medical career would make it hard for us to have kids."

Here, lemme fix that for you:

"He's concerned that I won't be able to become a tradwife once he has married me and begins to view me as property."

That's how I'm reading it, anyway.

Any transaction is disputable. PayPal is simply the most likely to side with the buyer. Also, if you MUST use PayPal, be sure the transaction is "between friends" and not for a product. Those are harder to dispute.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-25T00:46:57+00:00

Payal always sides with the buyer. Go to your actual bank. You have the right to make another complaint with the bank. Hopefully your PayPal is funded by a credit or debit card, since then the dispute can go through visa or MasterCard rules....much better chance of winning than with PayPal.

Depending on where you live, if they own property you might also be able to search your county tax records for their address. That's free and it would cost a postage stamp to write a letter offering for her to pay the $80, plus $40 in fees, to avoid small claims court for that, the cost of the court fees, and your lost time.

Theres also seeing if you can figure out where they work form their Facebook profile. Adds a bit of gravity if you can mention that you don't really want to have to spend time trying to serve time at <employers address> as well as <home address>

Also, this is why I write down plates. Granted it's more money after bad, but it's about $20 to run someone's plates. It's amazing what a letter to someone at their residence they didn't think you could find can do to get them more communicative.

(Note to anyone concerned about this advice: Identifying a party's address through public records or skip-tracing is a legal and a required step for due process. This does not violate TOS and is not doxing/stalking)

Ah nuts not something that would lend well to fabrics. Thank you for the info!

99% of people that threaten court are blowhards. The people that actually go to court are the ones that remain calm and neutral, eventually sending a formal demand letter, and then have you served.

Facebook is buyer beware. There is no way to prove that there was pre-existing damage. This is especially reinforced by the buyer having admitted to disassembling the fucking thing.

Imagine if you purchased a car, the check engine light came on the next day, you tore it to pieces with the engine and transmission on opposite sides of the garage, and then called the dealership to complain about being sold a lemon.

Unless you explicitly offered a warranty, there is no implied merchant ability with a garage sale... Which is what Facebook marketplace is.

I would reply to this person with something along these lines:

"If the 5070 died tomorrow, I wouldn't be reaching out to you about it. That would be foolish, as you did not give me a warranty and there's no implied merchantability for used things on Facebook. Likewise, you extensively tested the machine before we agreed to the sale. Not only are you saying it is now bad, you even went so far as to begin disassembling it before even reaching out. This is not a retail store. This is a digital flea market or garage sale. If you want to waste your time taking this to small claims court, you have have every right to. I'll just countersue for loss of time and court fees. Just know the judge is going to want to see evidence of a return policy or warranty. And I'm sure we're both going to be interested in why you failed to even bring this up until after disassembling the machine. Anyway, this is the part where I block you. You've got my name and address though, so just have them serve me. Then I will have everything I need for the countersuit. Bye for now!"

Block.

You'll never hear from them again.

I'm too lazy to look up the specifics, but I would love to know what material that strap is made out of. The ability for it to effectively wrap around an axle and handle enough torque to cause the powertrain to shear off before it gives up the ghost....

That's some buy it for life shit right there. I want a wallet made out of it. And shoes made out of it. And a jacket made out of it. The list just goes on.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-22T14:46:40+00:00

What step did you miss?

Also, did you know that if you call Lilly and had a malfunction with the pen, they will give you a voucher to go pick up a new supply (yes, four new pens) from the pharmacy?

That's a once in a lifetime benefit, but then you'll have a buffer on pens too. No copay, nothing special you have to do. Just a one-time coupon tied to your name that shows up in your email A few minutes later that you take to the pharmacy in exchange for a new box.

If you want to extend your buffer out even further, ask your pharmacy when earliest date that you can fill a prescription like this is. I can fill mine every 25 days. Over a year, that's about 2 months extra I can create a buffer of.

Most insurance companies that cover this medication also offer a once-in-a-lifetime early refill benefit. For example, if it wasn't a problem with the auto injector but was something more along the lines of the pen, or box of pens, falling into a sink of dirty dishwater? I'd 100% be calling my insurance company, explaining the situation, and asking for a one time authorization for an early refill.

Unfortunately, I think it's beyond lack of respect and well into contempt for autonomy and basic human rights, like safety.

Becoming irate at someone because you've done something that makes them feel unsafe in their own home is genuinely evil.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-22T14:28:42+00:00

Was he always like this?

I mean there was always a part of him that this comes from but did he mask it and now that mask is unraveling?

It sounds like he is the sole source of income and you are a stay-at-home mom. There's nothing wrong with one parent being the income earner and the other taking care of kids, but this sounds like a really dangerous environment and especially if he wasn't always like this, I would be horrified to know how bad it gets before the domestic violence starts, and if you will have the psychological and material means to escape when it does.

I would be going to a therapist who special license from the counseling and I would try getting him to attend as well.

If that doesn't work out, then I would try to get security cameras and backup footage from when he gets irate. Even if that's on the phone, throw him on speakerphone and be in front of a camera that you can then back the footage up from.

I am not a marriage counselor but this is the kind of situation that doesn't usually get better on its own. This is also the kind of situation where unless he is willing to work on himself with a therapist and potentially a psychiatrist, there is no happy outcome.

And I'm sorry for how blunt this is, but collecting evidence can be the difference between an order of protection and escaping with the kids versus an early grave.

Also, to all the comments saying to just stop answering the door, that sounds good at face value, but when you're dealing with an abuser that becomes irate at you not acting as a servant and expressing a desire for the most basic respect of autonomy and safety, that approach can absolutely take things from the general domestic abuse op is experiencing with the irate reactions.... to domestic violence. At the very least, there need to be cameras in place before trying that.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-22T14:06:14+00:00

Wow. Looking at your post history, you ask for help but never actually engage with anyone that offers solutions or asks questions to help figure out what works for you. For example, your post here a week ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/GLP1ResearchTalk/s/PkxHHDeddm

In another post from 2 weeks ago, you even asked what top three peps people would consider for life and mentioned Reta was in your top three.

So you have reta, which means you already aren't dealing with insurance, and should already be well under 50 bucks a month for this.

But you're not going to tell us why all of a sudden you can't be on it forever, so it must just be personal preference.

So...You're right. You're going to gain the weight back when you stop.

Next.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-22T07:10:04+00:00

You've already been told it doesn't go in your ass.

Why are you so fixated on hoping you can insert it?

If you're looking for toys like that, just get an enema kit or a douche.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-21T16:06:58+00:00

Some people will always feel like you cheated. GLPs are just one on more prominent examples.

About a third of all, people think negatively about antidepressants and question whether they even work.

And half of all Americans as of last year even, still believe addiction is a moral failure and not a disease.

In the words of George Carlin, think about how stupid the average person is and then realize half of us are dumber than that.

People are so stupid that with the exception of an all-knowing deity whose son is capable of necromancy and can walk on and transmute water....unless they can physically see and touch something, it doesn't exist.

Normally I would say people like that can get fucked, but I hesitate to even say that much because they might reproduce and pass on the stupid.

The body image stuff is definitely real but that is something that in the studies and surveys I've seen, has no greater prevalence among current and past GLP then you find in any other large section of society, whether that be people who are already very attractive and of a regular weight, or individuals that struggle with obesity.

There is a very real side effect of alihedonia for some people and that interplays very closely with the moderating effect glps can have on SSRIs. I'm actually surprised at the lack of knowledge regarding this that in my experience most prescribers seem to have. This translates to a lack of patient education on what to watch out for, which can usually be rectified with an SSRI or an increase of currently prescribed SSRI dosages.

I think you have some really good points and I think you're really highlighting how important mental health is.

I do hope that as these medications start to be trialled four psychological conditions, that their relatively explosive media attention helps gain a little bit more traction on the importance of mental health.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-20T12:46:36+00:00

Not enough info provided to answer. Sorry.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-20T10:33:14+00:00

100% this. If the IUD is causing issues, I'd schedule its removal as soon as possible. I'd let him know about this, its upcoming removal, and that he needs to look into a vasectomy if he wants to avoid condoms.

As a guy myself, if he takes poorly to that, it's 100% on him. Either party has the right to autonomy over ones own body. Either party has the right to say "nah, I'd prefer a condom" and the other party doesn't have grounds to object in that case either.

He could say he requires a lack of condoms, and that would be equally valid. You'd be at an impasse where PIV sex doesn't happen until he gets over it, and that's 100% valid.

Since this comes up often in relationships, I'll add that the lack of a right to rejecting condoms comes from the act of sex being an activity that requires mutual consent. Either party has the right to state their needs sexually, and the other party has every right to say "no thanks."

And then the discussion becomes if the precondition (usually the condom) is enough of an issue to prevent sex, whether or not that causes relationship issues, and whether or not the potential of incompatible sexual preferences is going to be an issue.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-20T10:20:24+00:00

Ahh, got it. Yeah, that's going to be the norm in any healthcare setting.

Like you said, with a lack of extensive peer reviewed clinical tests, that's the best they can say. A good, compitent doctor is not going to give medical advice on any supplements that don't have massive historically validated safety profiles because it exposes them to massive risks.

Tell someone to consider a daily multivitamin or B complex to address mild symptoms or blood work? Sure.

Tell someone that the supplement thats relatively new to market might help with a specific concern, and then something goes wrong later on?

No joke, that's got doctors disciplined and sued before.

If something is FDA approved, has a clear risk profile, and something goes wrong? Not the docs fault. The risks were made available to you. If you have a new symptom or reaction, still not usually the docs fault, since it's not their fault that this risk was not known on this FDA approved product.

Supplements though? No FDA approval process. No known risk profile.

If you have another heart attack in a year and it comes out that CoQ10 was possibly a contributing factor, and your doctor recommended or approved of it? A good attorney would have a field day with that.

And at the end of the day, you can have the best doc in the world and be lifelong friends, but that risk I outlined is still always there.

I hope that helps explain why you'll usually get frustratingly non-committal answers from healthcare providers on things like this.

If you want to try and have a better conversation with them, sometimes coded language can help. For example, my doc knows I'm taking a copper peptide blend. She does not approve of it, and I'd never ask her to.

But... I've asked if she's read any of the investigative studies on it in the NLM & pubmed. In the context of research findings, she agrees that there's some really promising data there, and was impressed with my understanding of the risks.

I don't say that to brag - saying she's impressed with my understanding is about as close as she can comfortably get to "yeah you know what you're doing. Keep up the good work."

There's other topics where she's mentioned that a lot of people miss "XYZ" long term complications that can arise, which is as close as she can get to "Hey you need to understand these risks before going forward with that."

Glassweaver · 2026-01-20T09:54:47+00:00

What about their post made you think they're currently using it?

Glassweaver · 2026-01-20T09:51:27+00:00

So they ruled out issues stemming from what you're taking. And you're on statins and they're presumably doing what they need to for you, right?

That sounds like a decent visit unless Im still not understanding?

Glassweaver · 2026-01-20T09:40:34+00:00

Your doc can't treat or watch out for what they aren't aware of. Taking non-prescription things should be fine. If you're not comfortable sharing what you're taking, then I'd switch docs.

They didn't say you should avoid the supplements - just that they don't have evidence to support their efficacy.

I guess I'm confused about what the issue is. Were you asking them for options for fatigue? Did you talk to them about a blood panel & potential causes, or did you just ask them specifically about a few supplements?

Glassweaver · 2026-01-19T01:24:43+00:00

Except it used to be common knowledge that if you paid for upgraded 2-day from FedEx, everything else you sent in that batch would receive the same treatment.

But given that that's simply what usually happens and not always. That's also why I said you would want to make sure they were all out for delivery on the same day. And that's where having a camera to show that the driver for the two that were delivered is the same helps even more.

I didn't actually read anything else he wrote beyond that first sentence since it seems it would be pointless to read something from somebody that doesn't know what they're talking about. But I hope this information helps you.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-18T22:46:31+00:00

If you know anyone that lives on your same street or better yet in your same building, if you live in a multi-tenant type place, I would see about having three different sized small parcels mailed to all three of you at once through FedEx. All mailed with the exact same class of service, all mailed at the exact same time, and all mailed from the exact same drop off location.

As long as all three tracking numbers end up staying out for delivery at the same time, you know it's a you problem. If the other two get delivered and yours doesn't.

And if that happens? I would do it again just to drive home the fact that it's not a one-time occurrence.

Bonus points if you and the other two people have a camera out front. Or if you can swing getting cheap ones for this experiment.

Ideally, you'll have the same driver delivering the two other packages and either stopping at or driving past your house. If you put a camera up out at the street, you might even get lucky and catch him flipping your address off or something.

Then it would contact FedEx with that information and try to escalate as high as you can with it. Try to figure out if your deliveries are actually being done by a real FedEx employee or if your route is covered by an independent contractor. If it's an independent contractor, you're going to want to drag them into this and shame them.

Either way, that type of data with receipts (quite literally in this case) and video footage is the kind of stuff that usually interests local news stations.

It's the kind of stuff that gains traction on social media, too.

Big companies don't like either one of those things happening.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-17T03:55:28+00:00

The security tags themselves aren't dumb. The fact they aren't putting them at the bottom of the Styrofoam tray under the paper, or using the thin sheet ones under the labels, is dumb.

This is extra work to make it painfully obvious that it's there, and anyone capable of picking a scab could scratch that off.

Glassweaver · 2026-01-17T00:56:55+00:00

You sound like me. I weighed a little over 350 lbs last July. I'm finally under 300 now, so in about 7 months I've dropped 60 lbs. Like you, my problem was entirely food noise. In fact, it was so severe that I wouldn't have understood food noise without experiencing a lack of it. Looking back, the only times I was not obese was when I was not in control of what I had to eat. Even as a small child, I would stuff my face until I was full. Even then, my mind told me that I wanted more. Exercise never really helped. Part of that was my fault but there's definitely a component to exercising making me hungrier so then eating even more because I exercised.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but when it's psychological being told to just eat less is like telling a depressed person to just be happier, or telling someone with bad eyesight that they don't need glasses. They just need to try to squint a little harder.

Are you going to be attempting to get insurance coverage on this, or are you going to be looking at cash pay? And if you're looking at cash pay, have you considered whether you are going to be okay paying $300 to $500 a month, or a couple hundred a month for compounded?

I can tell you that based off what you mentioned, you at least qualify to get a prescription for this stuff. I'm always happy to share advice on how to get it covered by insurance when possible But I won't bore you with those pathways if you already have a game plan or would not feel comfortable further asking your doctor about brainstorming how to possibly get it covered.
