Nissan, so you think you saved tons of money by f-ing over your customers (specifically EV adopters)?
Now get the payout you truly deserved.
Agreed with the above.WetEV said:As an EV adopter, I'm grateful for Nissan's efforts. Not perfect, but better than the competition. Save your ire for Fiat, Ford, GM, Honda, Toyota and such.
Telsa ... I dislike the reality distortion zone.

The market for used LEAFs does not agree with us, by the way. If you take a 2011 LEAF, put in a brand new battery, and then try to sell it in most markets in the USA you are probably going to receive ~ $8,000. That implies that the car's value sans battery is scrap metal.
