    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 incompetent 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.

        It’s odd because I always considered them right up there with Toyota and Honda but between their transmission and engine issues over the past decade they’re clearly not in the same league.
