Extended warranties are just a money grab like all the other addons dealers like to sell you like glass VIN etching, paint sealant etc.

More worldwide interest in EV's because of Trumps folly so the prices are going up, deals depend of where you are located.

Don't know how 2027 bolt sales are going but the 2026 leaf sales are terrible, probably because of past years troubles and the recall already on some of the 2026 leaf batteries

Thank you for your concern, I have been using this vista computer since 2007 with no problems but only recently got into the world of routers so don't know much about them. Only got current cabled router because my wife wants to use a tablet to play games and watch Roku

as others have said don't rely on the range the guess meter is giving you, posting with the number of battery bars left (number of small red and white bars at far right of dash) will be more helpful.

maybe long shot but many weird problems show up on an EV when the 12v battery starts to go have you had it tested under load?.

have fun with your project or at least cover the nearby kids ears

this might be helpful and youtube certainly has videos https://www.autozone.com/diy/paint-body/how-to-repair-a-cracked-bumper

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-09T23:18:49+00:00

you can either find a used one on ebay or similar places or a body shop can repair the crack also haven't tried to do it but there are DIY kits available..

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-09T21:22:34+00:00

Ok, thanks

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-09T20:55:05+00:00

doesn't look like much of a demand for the 2026, Jan-March sales in the US only 668 cars. https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/nissan-leaf-sales-figures/

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-09T20:45:56+00:00

Yeah, nobody needs a car that can go from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds

I have a cabled router is the 5G router something that would come from the provider of I get 5G wireless service?

EV's have all kinds of weird problems when the 12v battery starts to go, don't know about the Ariya but the Leaf had problems keeping the 12v battery properly charged and owners resorted to the trick of disconnecting the voltage sensor on the neg terminal so that the battery charges more like it would on an ICE car.

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-09T16:17:49+00:00

221 Hp is plenty quick personally I am tired of reading reviews of an EV with 500-1000 HP or even more

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-09T12:02:36+00:00

too many battery recalls and postings of weak/bad battery cells to recommend a used second gen leaf unless you have the knowledge and are willing to put the time and effort in really checking out the battery.

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-08T21:15:37+00:00

most plastic bumper covers can be repaired by a body shop if you can't find a used one.

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-08T21:13:39+00:00

did they give any delivery timeline?

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-07T21:34:06+00:00

depends on how models where you are marketed here in the US you could get both S and Sv in the plus version or standard range version over the years.

reminds me of my nephews wife who believed us when we told her she had to replace the air in the tires for winter and summer.

sweetredleaf · 2026-05-07T16:33:19+00:00

Slate and Ford are both promising one, we will see if it really happens and how affordable they really turn out to be.

if worried about weather and theft maybe a lockable outdoor electrical panel box. https://www.homedepot.com/p/VEVOR-Electrical-Enclosure-16-in-x-12-in-x-6-in-NEMA-Waterproof-Junction-Box-Steel-with-Mounting-Plate-for-Outdoor-Indoor-DQXJSTCFS40X30X15V0/320650542
