Trust with Nissan is still an issue for me. Our 2012 leaf at time of purchase was advertised to achieve 100 mile range. Finding out that the 24 kWh battery capacity wasn't fully useable. So the 100 mile range wasn't attainable for that reason and possably others. If anyone achieved 100 mile range I doubt it wasn't normal driving to get it.
Second issue was at one of the Nissan Dealer computer updates the regen braking all but disappeared. After repeated visits to the dealer and many phone calls to I finally had one Nissan person admit tinkering with the regen to prolong battery life.
Conclusion: Distrust because of their deceptive business practices. I hope they get better. If they claim 140 mile range in the gen 2 leaf, it shouldn't be difficult to get that or even greater.
Sorry for venting
