I do cane my Leaf through some corners (if appropriate) but 90% of my time is spent in the cruise, so our comparative tyre wear makes sense.

What tyres are you running? Are they made out of gummy bears?
The ones it comes with Michelin Energy something or other.

Didn't get my battery report.

Did discover I need two new tyres. At 8.5k miles.

Ouch.
Ypu can ask for a battery report but it doesn't tell you anything of interest really. Just a gauge like the one on dash with remaining capacity and report on how your driving is good or bad, how many rapid charges good or bad, no stats like you get with leaf spy!
I rotated tyres at 10k. Still well above low wear indicators.. you must just drive in mk as my mileage is half mk and half A road and motorway!

Initially I was quoted £170! from Benfield Nissan Newcastle. I got them down to £121 with a collect and delivery service. I got a battery health print out and they hoovered the carpets and gave it a wash :rolleyes:

Had my first service last week at Shrewsbury Nissan.

First one they have done. 18,000 miles driven since October 2013.

£98 inc vat. Tyres down to 5 mm. When I asked about the battery check they hadn't done it as their machine was down. Offered to do it next week, agreed it was part of the service. I like to think they were going to tell me this if I hadn't asked.....

Just had my 1st Leaf service. 10.5K on the clock.
Battery health check told me nothing at all, they appear to have just analysed my charging records and confirmed that I occasionally use rapid chargers, that I don't tend to do top up charges and that I don't leave the car with full charge for extended periods...strange I already knew all that!
5+ mm left on all tyres, unlike Paul I keep all four wheels on the road when cornering.
Brakes are showing no wear, thats regen for you.
£95 - If all services are this cheap it pushes down the cost of motoring still further...I'm happy!
