I should a new data point - since my last post I went back to Android again (move from Iphone 5S to new Samsung Note 4). The bluetooth behaviour on the Android is much better now - it now autoconnects and autoplays if you have bluetooth turned on and your podcast or music paused. Also found...

Actually this behaviour is one of the few thing that I actually do like about the iphone. For me, I use my phone to listen to podcasts or music in the car via bluethooth, and what you get is a literally hands-free experience, because as long as you have the bluetooth on when you get in the...

Useful report - thanks! Please continue...

Ditto...

All that is neither here nor there. At this point range is the biggest obstacle to move this product forward -and frankly this was known from before this car went on the market. - If this platform does not allow for any larger area for battery pack then it was not a good choice for development...

We are talking about a laggard industry that has had to be bailed out globally time and again. As such even being even 95th percentile in this sector is nothing to be proud of. They all need to transform or die.

What part of a Tesla can't Nissan build? They are a full range car maker, they have all the platforms and they have the capability to build electric cars - have had it for a long time. What they lack is vision. No, they are not equal. One of them has been wasting time. And is now wasting even...

Anyone who has owned the Leaf will tell you that if that's the case, then this was the wrong platform to build on. Sorry, but there is no excuse for blowing a lead like this basically due to complete lack of vision and ambition. I dont understand why they even bothered if the were not going to...

Yes, but I will go back to my point. Nissan has had the market to themselves and wasted that "beta" time. Instead of paying marketing companies for anecdoctal surveys from Tesla owners, they should have put out variants of the Leaf with different battery pack sizes and they would have hard...

This logic would for example lead to car makers dropping four seat cars, four door cars, and 4 wheel drive, ostensibly because demand would be "temporary". On the bright side maybe Nissan will get rid of the useless solar panel and prove better wiper coverage, nonalien external styking and an...

Isn't the point of having the market alone to yourself for 1.5 years that you get to "change everything" yourself, instead of blowing your lead and then interviewing the customers of the newcomer that bypassed, so that you can "learn"? Bizarre... This whole thing is the auto industry...

Same old churn marketing mentality from Nissan. They would be smarter to actually take the feedback from Leaf owners seriously - most of it is utterly ignored. Instead they are running around chasing someone else's customers. We are the ones that use your car every day and can tell you what is...

I dont know if it is just an IOS thing. Could be a Leaf issue. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and have been having similar problems with the bluetooth. Dont know if it is a coincidence also since the time the car was serviced and the software "updated".

VW will sell a lot of these in Norway and probably almost none anywhere else. Electrics are strong there and the ICE Golf is also very strong there, so the combination of the two. But that's a tiny market. Shameful they refused to put decent range in the thing. At that range it is basically a...

How much per car, per year?

Apple doesnt come up with disruptive technologies - it packages them. Tesla is doing some of same, but is doing more innovation. But Apple isnt really the point here Also if you understand what Musk is doing here, he is Henry Ford but in a modern way. Tesla is clearly not out to make "luxury...

I dont think you go to the trouble of redesigning the car industry from the ground up....but repeat the old school model of creating a huge backlog of unsold inventory that you then need to discount and beg people to come to the dealership to be fleeced by an uneducated yob pretending to be an...

This is a complete ripoff by Nissan Norway. Just the next country over in, Denmark, the first year service is something like 900 Danish kroner, which is about $160.

I've never understood the tendencies toward "alien chariot" styling of electric cars. Why have carmakers not grasped that electric car buyers are the same people who have been buying cars all along - and have already been proven to not like outlandish? What made them think we suddenly change...
