Nissan has lost their mojo - or at least much of it. They have addressed the "charge-gate" with their 40kWh Leaf, with a software change.
They need to change *one simple thing* to make the Leaf possible for me (and other taller drivers) - the center console flares out - and the edge hits me just below my right knee. It is a deal-breaker - and it is an easy thing to fix.
If they do that, then I'd be able to own one. Also, they raised the rear seat, which is good; as the original seat is way too low for most adults. But it now puts my head into the roof liner - so a steeper angle on the seat would be better.
Nissan REALLY needs to come out with more electric vehicles - they have sat on their advantage of producing the first widely available, relatively affordable EV. They waited a few years too long to refresh the Leaf. If not for the bulging headlights, they would have sold many more.
