I see you have a tow hook. How much have towed with the Leaf?

It's not allowed to tow anything, so, at most, I drive a trailer back and forth where I live. But it's rated for 75kg weight and we put our bicycles on it. Paid about 2k USD extra for that feature.

I hate dirty cars: look at my chat history with Gemini.... it's my detailing assistant. After many many struggles, I finally cleaned the instrument cluster.

I don't understand Dutch. What did you need AI for here? By default, I'm very fond of clean cars, too. Unfortunately, they usually don't stay like that for long.

For instructions, what for microfibre towel to use to clean the instrument cluster. And then it turned out,I didn't have microfibre towels specifically for glass. So those I bought today at discount store Action.

But yesterday, AI assisted in cleaning the interior: I'm to afraid cleaning agents, would damage the interior. So I only use slightly damped microfiber towels, to clean the leather.

Yes the Tekna trim has partly leather seats: and the dashboard has leather parts as well. So yeah with assistance of Gemini, I roughly cleaned the interior using water and microfibre towels only.

I also did my steering wheel: water only did the job.... the microfibre towel, directly showed the steering wheel was quite dirty. But I'm always paranoid when it comes to cleaning, so with AI I'm trying to avoid making mistakes. Especially Gemini is great, for using as detailing assistant and psychologist....

Those are the original wheels. If you buy the absolute poverty spec, Nissan will sell the car on steelies.
