Glad you made it home, phxsmiley. Thanks for relinquishing the QC and crawling home so I could get home.
phxsmiley said:Some other notes from last night about the Battery replacements:
- Nissan is spending 70% of its R&D dollars on two areas: ZeroEmission (EV) and Autonomous Driving
- 22 Replacements have been initiated so far under the Warranty program. I believe that is counting the replacements pending and the ones completed. All of them are in hotter climates.
- If your battery is replaced before the new 'Hot Battery' (Andy's nickname) becomes available, you will be provided with a coupon to change to that battery, and the coupon is good for 5 years.
- Nissan knows (through Carwings) whether a car's battery health is trending. I think we already knew this, but I was impressioned that they are indeed paying attention to it.
- There are other battery chemistries being developed beyond Lithium Ion.
- The Battery Price survey indicated that even prices in the 5-8K (from memory, correct me if I'm wrong) range were unacceptable to the current and potential drivers.
