Yeah, but they'll replace it for free if the car's odometer says less than 100,000 miles.  I'll take the risk.

So I just bought a 2014 Nissan Leaf with 24k miles. I'm pretty excited, just waiting for the dealer to write it up.

I have to say the car buying experience has gotten far more pleasant. The last two cars I have bought, I have no complaints and the salespersons were great, no pressure at all.

Whoa, really, Cthulhu!  Congrats!  
Did you get one with navigation, or a bare-bones model like mine?  
I have all sorts of suggestions for free car-monitoring phone apps (if you have navigation), care and feeding of the battery, and installation of a good (CHEAP) home 240V charger.  If you have any questions, just ask!  Welcome to zero-emissions, silent running, no more gas stops world!

It's a model S, so no fancy navigation. I may replace the head unit so I can have Android Auto.

Absolutely, I'm interested in apps and any information you have on home chargers would be cool. I have a few fast charging stations near home and Level 2 chargers are everywhere, including several where we park while at work. But I would like something other than the trickle charger to charge cheaply at home.

Pretty red!  Mine's black.  Awesome that you already have a 240V outlet.  That makes home charging so much easier.
Glad you seem happy with the machine so far, and that the range is accurate.  Sounds like you're loving your new wheels.  Congratulations again!      -- Fuzz

On a serious note, Musk has said that in 20 years the most common car sold will be fully autonomous with no steering wheel.

Great, I don't wanna drive no more.
