Comments
Considering the perishable nature of the li-MnO2 battery, Nissan's software does not make it easy to take proper care of the battery. E.g., no remote "stop charging" function, default charge level is 100% and the timer must be used to set 80%, battery continues to charge past 80% during climate pre-conditioning, heater operates unnecessarily. I like the car, but am VERY disappointed in Nissan's software design.
