Context of post:

Last year, 2013 June, I was informed by Nissan that there will be a Battery Replacement Program "will officially launch during the first half of 2014"
It is June 2014 already, no news? Any update?

Hey drees,
you need to translate Nissanese to consumer English.

"...will officially launch during the first half of 2014" actually
means: Monday, June 30

cant wait to find out the terms for the SYB.
can we, please, also have a battery price with installation, and a salvage price for the old battery???

or doesnt nissan sell to us, its customers, the most expensive and necessary replacement part for the car it sold us?

that must be illegal in at least California?

What is your guess about the form it will take ?

Updated with the link.

I'm still bitter about Andy Palmer's "Spring means Spring in my language" quote last year. Given that this is a social media guy saying it this time, I'd be surprised if they had anything of note to say before 2015.

Does "soon" mean this year or next year.

In other words is this real world time or Nissan time ?

yes and does Battery Replacement Program apply to owners, as well as those who lease their car?
or is Nissan just going to steal that part we own?

Einstein postulated that all time is relative.

I'm beginning to see the wisdom of his theory!!

 

[dgalvan]

But what does "soon" mean?

Yes for everyone else - steal the part specifically for you

Fairly real world time. Not this week. But I expect within the next couple or so, given the fb comment.

Thank you Chelsea. I can trust your timeline. I am looking forward to what option(s) they will offer us. I plan to replace my battery, hopefully after two more years of battery degradation.

 

[evnow]

I'm expecting a decent lease deal + a battery sale announcement. The battery price itself won't be announced.

that fits the pattern and the target date of June 30.

All I got from that was "Stay tuned" & "Keep Waiting"

And most importantly -- is this replacement battery going to be the lizard battery?

 

[kubel]

I'm remaining optimistic.
