Edited to add that I am in the U.S.

I just found out about a battery recall when I went in for what was supposed to be a 2 to 3 hour visit to address the defective rear seat belt issue. They inspected my car's seat belt and determined that I needed the remedy, but then they said they had to order the part. Why tell me this will be a 2 to 3 hour visit when they don't even stock the parts? And then they mentioned there is also a battery recall; first I had heard of that, not for fires but for sudden loss of charge (?), for which they will need the car for several days to remove and inspect the lithium battery. After reading tons of "buy back" posts here my heart is sinking. I have loved driving my Leaf--I sure hope this does not become a huge thing. Oh, and I told them my tires were leaking air, and though they had the car from Friday through Monday they didn't even look at them. First world problems for sure, but an annoyance anyway.

I ordered some capri pants and went to review them and mark them as accepted so that the seller can get paid. I have bought items on Poshmark before and I’ve never had an issue doing this, but today I have tried three desktop browsers, as well as the mobile app and Safari for iOS, cleared cookies, and deactivated all content blockers, and in no location is the option to review the purchase and mark it as accepted visible. I have already contacted Support and let the seller know that I have been trying to review and accept the purchase, but I’m just wondering if others have noticed this issue.

I have never had any luck with those phone holders that clip to a vent; they always seem to flop all over the place eventually. I now have a 2026 Leaf and I am using a magnetic holder that is glued to one of the few free spots that I have found that doesn’t block anything. At the same time I’m wondering if anyone has had success with a vent type of phone holder with a 2026 Leaf?

I heard that newer cars are supposed to be set a particular way, not just ordinary neutral, in order to go through an automatic car wash. My 2023 Leaf went through them in neutral without a problem, and now I have a 2026, which I have driven through once without issue.

But when I looked in the manual it talked about deactivating the automatic brake hold function (which as far as I know I never activated in the first place), described in a way that was not clear to me, and I don’t know whether I should bother trying to figure it out or just put my car in neutral when I need to drive it through a car wash next time.

Could someone please explain this to me like I’m five?

I saw this cargo cover on Amazon for $119. No idea how it compares to the OEM!

Hi! I would like to arrange a whole family vacation next February in the Luquillo area (we are not wedded to that specific area if there are other suggestions, say on the west coast, but we do not want to be based in San Juan). Family = six adults (three couples) and five children, ages 4-9. I am open to one large house, though my preference would be two smaller ones, so that we grandparents might have a place to ourselves, while the sibs and cousins are in their own place--or even two smaller places. I know I can go to the usual websites (VRBO etc.) but wondered if folks here have any specific ideas. If it matters, several of us speak Spanish with varying degrees of competency!

I'm about to pick up a 2026 Leaf, and one of the things apparently included is a battery heater. Is that necessary? I live in Massachusetts, but I very rarely would be doing fast charging in cold weather. I don’t want to be talked into paying for something I don’t need, but on the other hand if I need it I’m willing to pay for it. Also--Is it something that can be added later or does it comes preinstalled as a done deal?
