Comment on Nissan to go all-electric by 2030 despite petrol ban delay

  Technologically irrelevant.

  Nothing they do to stop the combustion engine fires from getting out of control, will be applicable to preventing fires in electric cars.

    Sure, but the fact that they’re selling fucking bombs isn’t exactly comforting, especially when ev fires are significantly more devastating and harder to extinguish than gas car fires.

    Lol I think their missing QA/QC department would like to speak with you.

    Nissan vehicles are hot garbage. Go drive a Leaf sometime and see for yourself

      Huh? I’ve had a 2018 base model Leaf for over 4 years, and here’s the sum total of my issues:

      • Car didn’t recognize the door was closed at one point, preventing me from shifting out of park

      ** Issue was due to dents in frame caused by occasionally closing the door on the seat belt buckle, which was positioned at the same height as the sensor switch built into the door that gets depressed when door is closed. Fixed in 5 minutes by wadding up a small ball of packing tape and taping it to the frame where it comes in contact with the sensor switch.

      • It occasionally doesn’t load the Bluetooth module properly, fixed by restarting the car

      That’s literally it. It’s been rock solid otherwise, and it gets driven literally every day.

        A 4 year old car should have zero issues but I say that being a Toyota owner.

        The Leaf’s air cooled batteries lacking any kind of thermal management is usually a deal breaker for most folks. But yes, I’m sure Nissan chose to do that for quality reasons.
