I think this is smart. I thought from the moment I heard LEAF chassis and battery that it was a slow train wreck. Who knows why, but I SERIOUSLY doubt Nissan will consider TMS and since all the "experts" know that I only drive 40 miles per day, there's no need for more capacity.
Meanwhile, Tesla will continue to school the experts. Nissan needs to aim the Infiniti EV straight at the Tesla Gen III Bluestar. Or contract Tesla to build a version as an Infinti. Nissan is likely hopelessly behind with TMS and battery capacity that can compete, since as of January, the highest levels of Nissan announced no intention to consider TMS (but they were considering optional capacity increases).
The current format (size/weight to kWh) of Nissan AESC cells is not on par with Tesla, and Tesla will likely double that density in four years.
