mwalsh said:Got to be honest...this group seems good for Nissan; great for the participants; and maybe good for future LEAF owners. But not so much use to us in the near term. Ever even. I mean, what have we gotten out of a week's discussion in Opamma, other than a few photos to be envious of and the sketchiest of details (and I did wait a week for the participants to "recover" and provide more information before posting this).
Personally I've no confidence in the enterprise, though I wish it's members well and hope they have a great time at Nissan's expense.
Michael, i understand your impatience since most of these issues have been at the forefront for 2+ years, but the visit was basically a meet and greet. Yes, we did have an opportunity to voice some concerns to the top brass and they will need time to digest what we have said but the meeting was not the end game. it was an intro only and that is all it was.
there is much more info that was passed between us and that will come out but most of it is just laying the groundwork for what we need to work on and that is
Price
Range
infrastructure support
then comes dealer retrenching. too many of our problems are rooted there. misleading "100 mile" statements. apathy, charger use issues, etc.
