Ok, this might be a stupid question, but if you get stuck in Traffic,
that uses almost no battery then, right? Other than the stop and go.
Would that kill it quicker? Example, there is a 30 mile drive, but
through construction. Traffic either flows nicely, or it takes an extra
20 min in stop and go traffic. Would you trust it?

I don’t use the projected range meter at all. I use the battery %
meter when I am worried. It seems to be spot on. But after a while,
you just use a trip odometer. When 30 miles have burned off you know
you have to turn around or charge at the far end.

How accurate is the battery meter? Is it like my phone in the cold
where as soon as I go to use it, it goes from Full charge to empty.
Does it give you a range at projected speed, or just a %?

I use it year around. When it gets down to zero outside, the range
is 60 miles or less.

Do I remember that you don't use your at all in the winter? How does
it do in the cold with the heater running? 40-50 or less?

They advertise 90 or 100 or some such number. But if you go much
over 60 miles the anxiety starts to mount. I have done 70 I think
once. It will probably do 75. It does 60-65 all day long at
freeway speeds with HVAC running full bore.

What are you getting now? The 2017 should get 120 from a couple of
articles.

Do we know yet what the 2017 leaf range is supposed to be? My
leaf lease is up and I am probably going to re-up for another
year to get the bigger battery.

He is planning on lower battery costs with the new plant or
before. Even the Leaf has gotten profitable since it's
conception for that reason which is why they can put a 20%
bigger battery pack in for the same amount of money.

Hi,
The news today about Tesla is they lose $4,000 per car they sell...
makes you wonder how much longer that can continue? They are
also having
to support all their Super charging stations across the country
(at no
additional cost for customers), etc.
It's a great concept, and a great first generation electric car,
but it
can't continue like this forever...
Travis
