What the hell?

Had this car for about a month no issues. Suddenly this morning it's dead as a doornail after sitting in a hot garage for 2 days.

Starting battery isn't even 3 years old. Parasitic draw? Or just a bad battery? Heat?? I'm nearly positive no interior lights were left on.

2013 Front End Torque Specs

Just changed my outer tie rod ends and a quick Google search yields conflicting information on torque spec for the nut that secures the tie rod to the knuckle.

27ft/lbs felt fine but does anyone have the service manual? Thanks!

(2013) Front end noise

This is my first EV, bought it a week ago. Wow I love it.

Anyway been noticing some front end noise, I'm pretty sure this points to my tie rods but just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with these cars in particular. The front wheels do have some side to side play when I jack it up. 82k miles.

Thanks, uh, Leaflets?

I'm obviously not going to do an oil change, which is always my first step with every other car I've bought.

I plan on changing the cabin air filter and inspecting the brakes and suspension... Anything else I should do? This is my first EV and wow I love it

I'm brand new to EVs and I've been eyeballing some older Nissan Leafs for my work commute. It's about 7 miles one way, 100% city driving.

Could I feasibly keep the battery topped off by charging it via the existing 120v in my garage? I'm not afraid of running a new 240 circuit, but with it being a detached garage, I really just don't want to do all that if I don't have to.

And yes I'd absolutely ride a bike if I could but the first 2 miles have zero infrastructure not even sidewalks, 6 lane road, my morning commute is in the dark, not safe at all. Believe me it bums me out to no end.

Appreciate any advice and experience anyone can share, thanks.
