Yeah, it makes me think it's worth the money. Not that I can afford it...Herm said:All that beautiful cast and extruded aluminum.. its truly a supercar.
Isn't this the red that is only available on Signature ?keydiver said:Oh yeah, its the red one too, which they now say is $750 extra, but won't be available until 2013. Since when does it take 2 years to get paint?
Boomer23 said:A family friend just told me that he went and saw the one at the Newport Beach store and immediately placed a deposit on the 300 mile model (non-Signature). He said that he was waiting to see one in person before he'd put a deposit on one.

Yes, but on any model other than a Signature you have to wait until 2013 for red. :? Red was the color my wife wanted, but I suppose they are trying to set the Signature model apart from the lesser models, at least for the first year. Just another thing that screwed the deal for me.
Very low chances of anyone offering more than 150 miles (apart from Tesla). Usually OEMs announce well in advance ... only possibility is Infiniti coming close to 150.BnBinSD said:When my Leaf lease is up in May 2014, I'm hoping there will be several manufacturer's offering 150 - 200 miles driving range. But if not, Tesla will be the choice! Starting my savings plan come the new year...
While that may be true - and if I read all of your posts I have to wonder - but the Tesla had to find ways to get parts that NIssan could just grab - everything from door locks to seat belts Tesla had to fight to find. Imagine calling around to get a supplier for any part of a vehicle, and saying you are going to use it to build an electric car to compete with the other auto makers. Doesn't go over too well.evnow said:That's a myth that has been debunked a number of times.N952JL said:While they may need the luck, you must remember the Leaf is a BEV conversion of the Nissan Versa.
Actually, it goes over very well with US OEMS who want to check Japanese imports - electric or otherwise. Besides, all part manufacturers are looking for a larger market. There isn't a grand conspiracy to keep all the EVs from not getting made - they are not getting made because they are expensive.Caracalover said:Imagine calling around to get a supplier for any part of a vehicle, and saying you are going to use it to build an electric car to compete with the other auto makers.

True. So not sure why you want to argue in a Nissan forum that Tesla is doing much better than Nissan - although they are just catering only to the rich and in fact but for Tesla Ghosn would have never heard of EVs :lol:What Tesla is doing is fantastic, and so is what Nissan is doing.
So is that guy - who just wrote his first article.Caracalover said:Disclosure: I am long TSLA.

Yes, Ryan Salomone, the author of that article, owns 100 Tesla shares according to his profile. He also goes on to state that the Leaf had 'poor sales'. I'm surprised to see the wide news coverage articles on Seeking Alpha get. It's hardly anything more than a glorified blog.evnow said:So is that guy - who just wrote his first article.
