Nissan Leaf problems

,

Hello folks!!!
Just found this.
Can anyone who has Nissan Leaf comment this article?

Reading that article (I don’t drive a leaf but do an EV)
The battery, please! Draining a year old battery overnight is almost guaranteed to kill it.

Other things? Normal Car W&T. The seatbelt that catches the sensor does seem to need a TSB fix.

This is exhibit A-Z for why you lease a depreciable asset and not own it.

Especially Leaf has the best offer for 24 months.

Why would anybody be surprised that a Nissan is falling apart after 66k miles

Whenever I see a link from CLeanTechnica, Elektek and I forget the third one, I can pretty much assume what it’s going to say. If it’s a link on Tesla it will be either 1) an excuse of why some Tesla fuck up is a good thing or 2) attributing some god tier shit to Tesla that has nothing to do with it. If it’s an article on any other EV it will be a hit piece because all of those publications are not about EV but about Tesla stock price.

Now I don’t know if Nissan LEAF falls apart at 66k miles, or if it blows up at a 100, but I would take any “article” from those publications with a grain of salt.

They lease for pennies so why even consider buying one…

It’s a Versa whose powertrain is a laptop battery, and at launch they bragged about the interior materials being made from recycled plastics.

And as others have said, you can rent their best 2 years for pennies and then hand the keys and warranty issues back to NMAC.

Not even for free. No thank you.

I wish she would have dived into this a bit more rather than say devoting a paragraph to a broken sunvisor clip:

It also makes the fact that the dealer who sold it pulled a shady paperwork trick (to cheat me out of $5,000) that much more bitter

can’t elaborate on what most likely didn’t happen. And paragraph on broken sunvisor is what happens when you get paid by the word.

Yes, this is far better than previous model years of the vehicle. I once owned a 2011 LEAF with around 40,000 miles that had lost almost half of its range.

Sooooo basically, this person is a moron.

I guarantee that is “the dealer told me there was a $5250 federal incentivize for it being an ev and they didn’t even include it on my contract!”
