Comments
Nissan would do well (and good) to treat its "early-adopters" right. For a company as seemingly forward-looking as they are, they don't seem to be handling the battery degradation issue well. A lot of unhappy campers in the forum probably represent a small % of those out there and their discontent gets magnified by media reports. I'm leasing so it affects me less, but I'm an "advocate" in general and don't want to see a good start go bad.
