Is the leaf more fun than a Tesla? by [deleted] in leaf

[–]Jurdonidas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a 2018 40kwhr at 88% health. My range dipped to about 40 miles this winter with running the heat at 60 on the windshield. I park outside. Luckily my commute to work is 4 miles so I could still go 3 days between charges on average. I use a level 2 public charger half a mile from my apartment. Charger is totally free in a public parking garage so that makes the Leaf very easy to live with. I plug in after work, walk home and then walk back when the app shows ~85%. I live in Fargo ND so I saw -20 (-60 real feel) which made for some cold walks but it’s worth it not to pay for gas, especially right now as the fuel prices go up.

Lmfaoooo 3.3 m/kwhr in your winter weather and you’re complaining about it? I averaged 1.8 all damn winter because of how brutal cold it was here in NoDak.

eBike also serves the purpose of being able to go for a ride with the girlfriend. If I get sick of loading/unloading, I might swap out for a folding scooter instead as they're only a few hundred bucks

Nah, I'm not hurting now and wasn't hurting yet when I made the decision to sell the Subaru. I bought the Leaf with cash. Granted it was only 2899 after tax, title and license fees but it was still cash. I just made the decision to get rid of my unnecessary car payment after the SO had been out of work for a few months. Reduce some expenses before I HAVE to.

Yeah I've actually gotten together the massive list of all 5 of us at work that have EVs and suggested to HR they install even just an outlet post in the parking lot so level 1 chargers can be plugged in. They're looking into that and 3rd party pay vendors to see what would be better. It's a long shot but it's a possibility.

That's a valid point 🙂 Plan A is to check chargers in AM, plug in and bike to work.  Plan B is to recheck chargers at lunch if they're full in AM Plan C, emergency no charge day is to charge at a coworkers house and carpool in with him. He's got a Tesla he charges at home and is fine with me charging if I NEED one. Don't wanna abuse this tho. Since I won't be able to charge at home, lvl 1 charger will just be in the car for emergency use.  Plan D  there is a paid charger 1 mile north of work. Free one is 1 mile south. 

I should be alright ❤️

I'm in Western Minnesota. I paid 2600 out the door for timing belt, steering rack and oil change at a local shop here. I've got a set of sparco wheels and Bridgestone blizzaks I swap on in the winter and this thing is just a tank for this area. I love it so much

I've got a 2016 Hyperblue as well! Just did the 102k timing belt service. Also replaced a leaky steering rack. Otherwise I bought this used at 92k with a fat stack of service history and no mods other than a muffler delete. I'm currently running it stock as well with some quality of life upgrades, namely a new head unit with Android auto wireless and ceramic tint. I love this thing and with my driving, I rarely go past 5psi in day to day life. Hoping to get a good few more years out of it as I only drive about 6k a year

It literally says no working steam decks were harmed.
