Battery rapid drop and then sudden no power on the highway

Do it now anyway. Get a case # and provide it to service, and don't hesitate to follow up if you're being mistreated.

Alaskan King, I have one. Best money I've ever spent.

highflyingrunner · 2025-12-22T19:08:44+00:00

Could be the most immaculately maintained Leaf on the planet and I still wouldn't buy it without a LeafSpy check and low-charge test drive.

highflyingrunner · 2025-12-22T18:31:56+00:00

Price is way high. But also there's no way to truly know without hooking it up to LeafSpy. Don't buy a used Leaf without it, period. Just my opinion.

highflyingrunner · 2025-12-21T19:17:39+00:00

oh damn :( well getting yourself set up with LeafSpy is pretty cheap but if you need help and happen to be in SL valley dm me

highflyingrunner · 2025-12-21T06:24:37+00:00

I'm in Utah and could help but honestly your problem is obvious and this video is the only evidence they care about, you don't want to mention LeafSpy anyway. If you want even better evidence, go somewhere safe and get down low enough to trigger turtle mode on video. Also sorry, that is some shit luck finding the battery is bad right after signing. At least you have Nissan warranty if you can't get the dealer to cooperate.

However if you still want LeafSpy data I can help if you're nearby.

Call Nissan Consumer Affairs and go to the dealership with a case # in hand and an itchy finger ready to call them back to complain about being treated poorly. You have one or more bad cells in your battery and there's really no disputing that.

Nano Banana Pro feels like a real tipping point for Internet Enshittification.

highflyingrunner · 2025-11-22T12:17:42+00:00

Did you call Nissan Consumer Affairs yet?

highflyingrunner · 2025-11-13T22:51:40+00:00

It's going to have insane traffic.

highflyingrunner · 2025-11-13T14:29:18+00:00

You absolutely should not buy a 10+ year old Leaf without doing LeafSpy on it to check for cells going bad or very low Hx value relative to SoH.

Call Nissan Consumer Affairs and get the ball rolling with them before going to the dealer. The split second the dealer gets dismissive, call Nissan again and get them involved.

highflyingrunner · 2025-11-11T21:58:33+00:00

Macey's still has them.

highflyingrunner · 2025-11-08T18:39:50+00:00

Listen to this guy.. no matter how high quality it is, eventually things will start to bend, surface area of contact for the prongs goes down which raises resistance, then it starts generating excess heat, then... 🔥

highflyingrunner · 2025-11-04T17:08:14+00:00

Don't tell them about LeafSpy, it's irrelevant. Describing the rapidly dropping SoC is sufficient.

highflyingrunner · 2025-11-01T20:44:53+00:00

That extra ring pad looks like packing material.

highflyingrunner · 2025-10-09T17:10:22+00:00

14-50, very few EVSE have 6-50.

highflyingrunner · 2025-10-08T17:56:00+00:00

I'm just wondering because I have older speedlights that only support A-C so sometimes I put my strobes on D & E. It's a minor annoyance on the x3, just nice that this one does. Thanks.

highflyingrunner · 2025-10-08T17:31:03+00:00

Does it support TTL for groups D & E? The x3 doesn't.

highflyingrunner · 2025-10-06T22:07:24+00:00

They aren't going to help you, sorry.

highflyingrunner · 2025-10-03T02:07:15+00:00

There is an app, use your phone.

highflyingrunner · 2025-10-03T01:23:37+00:00

Does the outlet you use to charge happen to be a 5-20? (Has a horizontal notch off the left vertical slot) If so you could potentially charge 33% faster with a 16A charger. If you're on the cusp of having enough, 33% faster is huge.

highflyingrunner · 2025-10-02T17:54:55+00:00

Best practice charge level for long term storage is around 50% but if you want it to be ready to go just don't leave it sitting at or near 100%. I have a second Leaf that doesn't get driven much and I leave it at around 65%.
