I would love for the LEAF to have a custom startup sound. Like if I had a LEAF, I'd like the car to startup to an epic song chorus or something. Anyone else agree?

That was a very good video, informative and not preachy by comparing it to other vehicles. Nice car as well.

@mw2silentshot The Intilligent key only functions if you are 5 cm from the car. so unless you give the key to some hooligan the car will not open. If you take a step away from the car, it will not open. I have a Nissan Altman so I know.

Intelligent Key, not really. What if someone decides to press the button and open the door when you have just walked away? They are able to take your ipod, cd's and camera...

@mrdojob The limitation of the battery charging speed has to do more with the power available than the battery's ability to accept a charge. If you have 480 volt 3-phase (many commercial electrical installations do) you can charge to 80% in 30 minutes. Fast charging can damage batteries that are not designed for it, but the batteries in the Leaf are designed for fast-charging. As electric cars become more popular, 3-phase power will become available in homes.

I like the design of the CD player where the screen folds back. The cassette player in the 2001 BMW 740il did the same thing (the CD player in the 740 was a 6-disc changer in the trunk). Can the Leaf's CD player play MP3 files burned to a data CD or only normal audio CDs?

@josemariasellanes Some people are old fashioned & not computer savy so a cd is the best for them.
