I have that exact year & color with a 112K miles on it & I love it. Still get a full charge, it's fun to drive and has saved me a boat load of $$
the quick cut in the middle of ur rage is GOLD!!
this is by far the best video on the channel. now you can never get rid of the leaf
As a fellow Leaf owner I can feel your pain. Best Leaf review video yet 😂😂 In cold climate range is cut in half, greetings from freezing Finland
I have a 2014 Leaf and have more than 120,000 miles, but have 9 bars. I heated the battery to125 degrees once. Leaf Spy has been helpful to check the battery temperature, so i don't get the battery too hot.
When I bought the car I knew what I was getting into, so I'm not disgruntled about the quirks of the vehicle. It has been indeed an adventure. I have gone into turtle mode 3 times. I have found I can go 6 miles from gauges flat lined to turtle mode. So far I have always been able to get to a charging station in time. It won't go over 35 miles an hour.
A used battery would give it a new life for less than a new car. EV Rides LLC in Portland Oregon specializes in replacing old batteries with used ones.
How it is driven as you say determines how far it can go, along with other factors.
Keep driving.
LEAF SPY IS INVALUABLE...
As a fellow leaf owner i felt this. But good lord I’ve never seen one with the battery health at 3 bars that alone is an achievement
I work for a junk yard and they get junked with more bars than that. I think this guy has a faulty battery.
@@dreamrelaxation7239 - Or has only ever DC fast charged it in 100+ degree weather.
I still like Austin Paz's idea that you go to a Tesla meet-up and act like the Leaf is a Model S or something. When they kick you out then you have to yell and call them all Tessie's.
The smash cuts make this so much better...
"I am a leaf on the wind." - Wash
The bars to to right side of the display panel in show battery health. When new they have 12 bars, you have 3 bars left. I've never seen one this low. My father recntly bought one that was a 2013 model with 93k miles. It had 11 bars.
I just bought a 60,000-mile 2014 24kw Nissan Leaf and it still has 12 bars (although I guess one will go soon). Like any car drive it nice and it will go a lot further than one which has been mistreated.
Do you charge with 110v or 240v lot of fast charging?
Slow charge it to 80% max and that battery will last another decade comfortably.
@@smileychess Not at 3 bars methinks.
@@raysiat7827 - Who said anything about 3 bars?
@@smileychess My mistake. Sorry
I have not smiled for so long for so much for ever! Thanx for a great review and a giggle or nine! Keep charging!!
If you used to own a Nokia phone and you now have a Smart phone, but kind of resent it a bit and hanker after your 6300, then this is the car for you. It's quite a human car, some faults, but a lot of redeeming features. Don't know if I have been lucky, but I'm living in the temperate UK and I have a 2014 24KW hour. 105k miles, still get 60 plus miles. Still works great as a family run around and have saved a massive amount on gas/petrol in the last 9 years and 30 plus tons of carbon into the atmosphere. Also we don't have the reversing noise in the UK so I ran over our neighbours dog, which would have saved quite a bit of extra CO2 as well.
Like a roadster-two seater. The world is limitless with the extra 14 feet. 😂
The engine whining noise is to simulate the girlfriend you don't have because of #leaflife
My Leaf is the perfect excuse. My family always thought I was gay because I didn't bother dating. Now they look at my car, and they're like "Oh, you just don't have a very sexy car. Also you must be gay, because who else would drive that car?" I'm not sure if it's an improvement.
My 2015 leaf just got a good clean. Love it, but it only does 50-55 miles these days 🤣 perfect for the beach and a dog carriage.
I put 100,000 miles on my Nissan Leaf and saved a lot of money in the process. Most reliable car I've ever owned and plan on keeping it forever if not to drive will be used as backup power for my house.
As long as you don't need its built-in cell connectivity anymore, or need another new battery, you should be good. My 2011's been great, but at 60k it's down to 6 bars and it isn't able to update anything via the cell network anymore.
I have a 2014 Leaf - ripping out the seats seems a good Idea for range - should I fit an LS1 with a generator? It would be self charging then like a Toyota!
This review felt like one of my diary entries
Look at fancy pants with his 4 wheeled vehicle ownership. Plus with no back seats you can sleep there when you drive over 50 miles.
So you love your leaf? How many miles are on this one, and have you had any issues with it?
This... this was amazing!
You forgot to mention that you have a choice. You can either run the heater or you can go somewhere. But you can't travel in the car and run the heater. If you did that, it probably would run out of battery before you got to the end of your driveway.
I see it as a daily "cold plunge challenge" during the winter. My passengers think I'm weird, but it's invigorating!
nonsense... his car has a heat pump not resistive heating. only first couple of years had the stupid heating.
@@captlarry-3525 a had a 2011.
Bro I will say the screen on that sick Nissan Leaf is more advanced than the one in my POS 2018 Honda HR-V
Nailed it! Proud Leaf owner of 1 week :)
I was expecting a stupid video and you didn't disappoint.
Loved this video so much and made me to leave my first comment on your channel😂
Ben, this was absolutely hilarious.
Excellent !!! Laughed out loud ( with my headphones on ) .
Air Medal recipient. Good on you brother! Thanks for your service 🫡😃
Great parody of the Leaf! I own one, I completely understand!
The leaf has so much swag my computer almost didn't load the video.
People need to stop looking at these cars with the lens of 2023, these vehicles were built on technology from 2010 the first model came out in 2011, consider the source if you want something modern, get a new leaf or a Tesla or something we need to get involved in third-party battery manufacturing like they do for alternators and starters and what not these cars will be hidden gems if that’s the case you can pick up a battery for like five grand in the UK because they refurbish batteries but that won’t happen here in the US for a few years we are always late to the party
Fantastic. I can't wait to own one.
Love my 2018. Heater cuts range by 15% but the other 11 months of the year not a problem. 150 miles now.
The milage taking a nose dive trying to reach 60 is so true. My leaf couldn't pass a slow moving truck when i first tried. Slow for gas car standards anyway.
Its got 50k miles on it 9 bars of battery and when i parked it at 36% came back to drive it the next day it was dead i couldn't drive it. I got a gas generator to charge it now.
Oddly, my Nissan Leaf's top speed limit is 99MPH . Far to fast for USA speed limits
Wow, a go-kart also ruined my life. Can't wait to upgrade the possibilities with my new Leaf.
I’m honestly surprised you don’t have a gas powered generator in the back of that thing so you can charge it anywhere just in case 😂
lol
TO be honest these car becoming cheaper on fb like 5k with a gas powered generator that be a great deal lol but gas generator weighs a lot.
I love this, thanks Ben! I can't roller blade, but own a white 24kWh Visia I let my wife drive mostly. With 90,000 miles on the clock it still has 11 bars of battery health, but I found your car video after watching a Finnish mechanic showing how easy it is to swap the battery pack for a 62kWh set, giving over 300 miles of range.
I've turtled once and needed recovery on that occasion, but hyperdriving is a way of life for us.
I needed this 😂
You gave me such a laugh.. can relate , it's a whole other world!
He called a hybrid car gas guzzler 😂😂😂😂that was funny as hell 😂😂
Loved the video! As a former owner of a 2013 model, I agree that the early leafs could only go fast but not far. However, other features and build quality did seem decent. If you replaced the battery pack with a 3rd party 62kw pack and maybe put the back seat back in I'm thinking you would have a better car than many of the 2nd hand gasoline clunkers on the market. Then again, im kinda weird. I upgraded to a 2023plus rather than dealing with retiring another ICE car early due to not meeting NY's auto emission standards.
More videos like this please Ben 😂😂😂
How many battery SOH bars were there when he bought it?
I love this video. It makes me want a Leaf. ;)
lol appreciate the humor. bravo on the info!!
🤣Best review ever. The new Jeremy Clarkson 👋
I had been debating on getting a leaf. The used posting said it gets about 70 miles per charge. About 20 miles per day I'm driving around 80mph. I don't see this one working out for me.
Hilarious as usual! iRollerGalifianakis
Fantastic!
Dont worry Ben ❤l like the leaf 🌿 its cute car
my mom has the same car, it frickin RIPS bro!
I really like the Nissan Leafs we have at work. Doing the homework to buy one for myself too now.
What I find crazy about EV is that they have no reselling value. It's like trying to resell a 5 years old Samsung phone. I have a ten year old good looking but cheap Peugeot hatchback and it still worth 5/6k€ even after 200 000 km
My wife and I recently had an estimate to get our rickety deck rebuilt, and the sticker shock hit us hard at over $30K. I said to the estimator, "I could buy fifteen more used Nissan Leafs for that!"
My son calls ours Leafal Bizzle. The styling is wild, visited Japan recently, in its natural environment it makes perfect sense. Saddly I now quite like it. Like a gundam fish.
I love my 2018 Leaf. I have another a 2015 that I don't drive I just use it For spare parts. The batteries are used to store my solar panels charge.
Lol that cars battery should be under warranty
I would differently look in to it.
I love my 2015 Leaf it has about 80% battery life gets about 75 miles lol
As an owner of this vehicle, thank you for this video. I wish all of them were like this!
Ben, you honestly made my day. Ultra funny video! You should go to Hollywood and act in comedies, seriously! I hope you get noticed. On a separate note, I don't know why you went for a Nissan Leaf. It sounds even worse than my mother in law's Fiat Panda. I hope you get more comfort in your life soon 💛. Spending money on cars is not something I recommend, but when a car makes your life hell, it's worth getting something half-decent. Take care mate.
I have a 2011 that bought new in 2012. I still drive it everyday. I have a roof rack on top with bike so not worried about aerodynamics lol.
I heard you drove a Leaf the other day and was very surprised. Seems like the least iRollerboot car ever lmao
im thinking 91 camaro with the t tops
He was in the Air Force brah
😉
Not the Army/Marines
🤣
Jokes
I love Ben!
My 2013 Leaf does 280 miles on a charge if I don't exceed 65 mph. But I am a cheater with a 2019 40 kWh pack underneath and a 45 kWh extender battery in the booth. Quite an investment but planning to keep it rollin' for the next 10 years 😎
When I hear people bitch about the Leaf... usually they did not know to study the care and feeding of the battery. I charge to 85-88 % and not below 20% ( usually 30) in normal use. I park in the shade. I do not fast charge. On 90 degree days, I will use another car. All such rules are occaisionally broken by circumstance...but I will never charge to near 100% without using the car very soon. long highway trips and fast charging... bad news because of high battery temps. 110v charging is for emergencies only. 2016 30 kw, rural N,calif.
Someone get this man a CR2023 for that keyfob
#2015nissangang (I have a 2015 Murano)
Omg at 8:44
Just traded in my 2015 Pathfinder that was paid off for a 2023 Maxima and damn is it nice but damn I did NOT miss making car payments #financegang #brokeboiproblems
Big Leafy Biz!
Pull yourself together and get the battery fixed. Ladies favor composed men. With a new 40KW/h battery this thing will drive 200+ Kilometers and if your avoid fast charging and keep the charge between 10 and 80 percent, the new battery will last much much longer than this one. The strain on these small batteries is pretty high and the first iterations have several flaws. Some also have a firmware bug that leads to batteries reporting they are dead, but aren't. Replace it and sell the used one. Then get the backseat back in for some serious backseat action...enjoy!
My 2014 Leaf has the same millage and get 60-80 miles range in winter and summer.
#leafubehind just killed me lol😂
The speed limit in my county only go up to 45 mph and in my town 35 mph so the leaf does well
That Half Bar 🍸 Is Badass.My go.carts Gas..Not a leaf from.a tree
That thing def needs a new battery lol
Lol this was funny. 😂 But I do like my 2015 Nissan Leaf. But that battery can get scary when your pushing past that 10 mile range left. But haven't ran 100% out yet. Lol
I know I'm late to the party but I do hope you submitted that car for a warranty claim, because with that kind of degradation inside the 8 year 100,000 mi battery warranty they will replace it for free.
The leaf finally broke you. You need a hug pal?
Great video. My gas take holds 19 gallons at full tells me I can drive 192 miles lol
400 miles on a full 18 gallon tank for Nissan Maxima 🤷♂️
If you put shopping cart wheels on it, the value will effectively rise to $9,400 USD
Not quite sure which leaf you are on but maybe tyou should take the bus for a while. Safe journey!
The car is ok, but the battery is almost dead. I have never seen such a degradation! You may replace your battery with a second hand one (even 40 kWh) and make the leaf great again. And mount the rear bench seats back 😉
Hahahahahaha 😂 ohh man! I love this, I own a 2019 Nissan Leaf that I bought as a investment for the future.
Took my savings that I actully was spending on a house buy.
This buy is still the worst investment I ever done.
YOU SPEAK FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW.
Man your my buddy😂❤
I have a 2015 Nissan leaf sv but it’s not as super cool as yours😂. I get about solid sub 30 miles on a full charge (guess-o-meter says 60 miles) and I have since lost two capacity bars from the original 10 bars it had when I purchased last year. Yeahhhhh not great… I only had two close calls when my miles went - - -, once on the freeway and another on city streets with four friends on a cold night, Not fun. I’m trading it in for a 2017 Chevy volt that comes in next week hopefully
lol Good review !!!! Not aggressive at all !!! lol
You only have four bars ! The battery has bad degradation.
Funny guy 😂 thanks
Best review ever omg lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Youre funny dude. Good video
In case you get fed up with the range of your car (I know I sometimes am with my Leaf), a solution might be on the way: th-cam.com/video/UiM0JQC4C0c/w-d-xo.html
Come on tell me what car under $50k has heated rear seats and headlamp adjustments!
Well that car is dead only three bars
the leaf is a pain in the butt. Saying that though, ive saved so much money. If you know how to drive it you can finesse it.
I see you have room in the back for an LS1 and a generator. I'm pretty sure that the mere irony alone will get you dates. 🏎
Maybe do a Collab with richrebuilds and get him to put a V6 in there
Can we get some kind of crowd fund together, raise $7,000 and get a battery replacement. Would love to see this in a new video. Leaf Phoenix etc...
I was going to buy one....until I saw this video! 😅
A+ on the sarcasm F on the content so it averages to C.
bruh it's that beanie that's not getting you dates, chuck it. don't blame the leaf.
Good point.
bro you legit only have 3 bars of battery health. 🤣. its time for a battery replacement.
well i was about to at least the newwer ones will go 100 miles towing a trailer 2k pounds
Make like a tree and leaf
