Holla!
I am in Lansing, not exactly Metro Detroit. However, my wife and I grew up there and visit somewhat often. There are almost 0 Leaves in my area too; I get lots of stares and some harassment from friends and family. Because this car does not limit me as they predicted I am starting to change minds... espically when gas was $4.30 in my area for like 3 weeks.
Notable trips made in the Leaf this spring/summer
All starting from Lansing:
Detroit Zoo (1)
Belleville (3)
Chesterfield (needed to stop in Milford for lunch & charge)
Ann Arbor (2)
Whitmore Lake (2)
Plymouth (1)
Livonia (1)(Schoolcraft College had an EV show on June 8! lots of EV's!)
South Lyon (1)
Farmington Hills (1)(yes to visit the only QC in Michigan!)
Kalamazoo (1)(WMU Solar Array & EV charging)
Most of these trips required charging at my destination to get back. Very fun times! Enjoy your new Leaf!
