- Standard accessories:

Post-delivery things
After taking delivery, you may also want to consider calling Sirius XM and ask them to “create an account with your radio ID and create a 6 month trial for you from that point forward”. This is because your 6-month free trial of Sirius XM may reate an account with your radio ID and create a 6 month trial for you from that point forward have started some time before your delivery date and thus will expire before six month has passed since your delivery date.
If you bought an orphan Leaf, you will need to arrange your own charger purchase. For the Nissan charger, call AeroVironment (+1 (888) 833-2148). You will need to provide them with your VIN number.
