Maybe you are right. Did you get approved for the free home charger yet?

Did Pacific Nissan send you an email in that regard? I also understand that we should ask that there be no mandatory dealer installed features such as $1000 floor mats or $1500 clear coat. I honestly hate doing business with automobile dealerships. I've had some dreadful experiences over the years. I wish I could just send Nissan a check and have the car show up in front of my house!
I just spoke with Scott @ Mossy Nissan Escondido. He said the price would be MSRP and no dealer add on's like clear coat, undercoating, etc. The dealership has an A+ BBB rating. So I've decided to stay with them, but my radar will remain on high alert.pksd1 said:No I read it here somewhere that Pacific Nissan has agreed/stated to sell it at MSRP. I agree, I wish I could just work directly with Nissan. Although my previous experience with Toyota of Escondido was very good (maybe because I went thru Costco program).

( Remember ... we are "dumb" ... we aren't even allowed to use a 240V plug-in EVSE (if we can help it :twisted: ) ) Things can -- and do -- go wrong (think of the analogy of flashing your motherboard BIOS -- ignore if you don't know what I'm talking about). You don't want "things to go wrong" at home. They'd want the car in the service facility. That's not to say that it couldn't be a super easy and inexpensive process ... but only executed by a trained tech.

Absolutely! It's one thing to 'brick' a smart phone or PDA - it's something else to trash the ABS/Traction Control computer or have the airbags deploy while Joe Public is leaning forward to push buttons on the center console.
It's not good for any company's longevity to invite a lawsuit from either an EVSE plug igniting fumes from the lawn mower gas can or from someone injuring kids at a bus stop after performing a factory-authorized firmware upgrade on their car.
We NEED a LOT of EVs on the road - and if that means we keep our sticky fingers off the firmware then so be it. Wait until we've taken a bite out of our oil imports and/or have cleaner air before calling for 'officially sponsored' geek-fests!
