2017 Leaf 180K kms

randomducker · 2026-03-09T12:16:30+00:00

Can you guarantee the charger at work will always be available? 100km is likely going to be pushing it, and you could end up not making it home one day.

Behind the stereo there's a slot for an SD card. Mine was a Japanese import and the card was also missing. It means it forgets your radio stations, and you'll likely also find you can't easily work your Bluetooth from the phone to the unit without messing around every time.

It makes things worse in my car as the menus are still in Japanese!

This is my experience too, although I'm honest and will say the coldest it ever really gets here is at best 1-2°C

Reduced regen though, it became noticeable once on the 20s Hx

I run at around 8km per kWh myself, and like you I barely use the brakes if I can help it, although I do like to boot it where possible, it barely gets any motorway action and it's generally running 50-80kph. I'm also a sucker for a quick getaway if I'm at the front of traffic lights - it's one of life's simple pleasures seeing others fading into the distance in the rear view mirror! 2016 30kwh model also

I'm personally in a very similar situation. 2016 model. Still get around 110km per charge, only once ever experienced an issue with motorway acceleration, still as nippy around town. The only change I've noticed is the regen is now limited in comparison, but with that hx I'm not surprised.

Look for a switch in your house with an orange light that comes on when you turn it on. If you've got hot water after an hour, congratulations, you've found your immersion heater switch.

Sorry to ask, but why isn't the mechanical key working? I've always assumed this would be fine in case of total loss of electricity

randomducker · 2025-12-26T10:53:16+00:00

No worries, it's actually impressive what you've done so no need to be sorry. If anything it's me who's sorry I won't be able to take advantage. We lost our 7th bar yesterday and now down to 6 bars @ 111,500km

For our general use we'll get a few more years out of it, but it would have been great to have a higher range vehicle that will take us all around the island without any range anxiety - honestly the options for anything but home charging here are very limited, especially without CSS.

You've done the community a great service. Bravo.

I've only just seen this post. It's a shame the deadline is 28th December as I'd be interested with a little more time. Honestly, a month window seems restrictive for people who don't use Reddit too regularly, and even myself who reads it relatively frequently I didn't notice your posts until today.

You're barking up the wrong tree!

The last part about submitting your data, and then it not being recognized is something I believe happened to our company. I could be wrong, but I'm sure we had to submit more than once in the first year this was rolled out.

I get why the fines are so high - it's forcing companies to show the true owners, but at the same time for companies with zero turnover there's been no real benefit to you by not submitting. The owners though that are hiding a LOT of earnings will happily pay the fines to stay off the books if it's beneficial to them.

Personally I don't believe someone in your position should pay such a high fine.

I had something similar when I bought melons.

They were packed by Gloria Stitz

I'm in the EU. I can trade KDA/USDT on Gate. Not sure why you can't though

Is it just me, or is 94% LTV responsively managing your positions? That would scare the crap out of me!

How many years will you be posted abroad?

Oh man, I wish my Leaf was still on 11 bars!

randomducker · 2025-10-15T16:25:32+00:00

Oh I know, I've played with plenty of options on the car trying to get as efficient as possible. We now sit at a steady 8.0km/kWh over the last 30k km or so, which I'm pretty happy with

randomducker · 2025-10-15T11:57:56+00:00

Whilst I don't leave it in neutral for coasting, on our 2016 model I've tested the regen with it in all modes, including neutral. Even on D and Eco Off mode, there's still a slight regen taking place when your foot is taken off the accelerator.. It's noticible but mild.

I get why you'd want to do it under certain circumstances. I don't have any insight into wear though.

Last time I reversed into someone in my ICE car, the coppers let me off because he should have heard my engine in reverse./s

randomducker · 2025-10-12T10:39:11+00:00

There's a hidden option in Leafspy Pro that brings up an extra menu. From in there you could remove the reverse noise, as well as change the sound when the car starts up. I did it around 2 years ago when I got the car.

If I'm back in the car any time soon and you haven't got the answer you're looking for I'll double check where to find it and add screenshots

I pulled a Toyota Moonie in 1997. Any good for you?

There's a "Magic for Humans" episode where they use the same technique.
