This already happens though. Not on official spec sheets but in terms of badging.
As for why they'd do it, it could be a case of economies of scale. For all we know it might actually be less expensive to manufacture one pack across the board and then software limit the lesser models. I...
When it comes to badging, stranger things have been affixed to the rear ends of cars.
That said, I hope Nissan doesn't follow Tesla's lead here, otherwise manufacturers may be tempted to start attaching fuel capacity badges to the rear ends of their cars. Can you imagine someone bragging...
Actually from what I know, the reason Infiniti went and renamed their lineup was because their two biggest success stories (the G line and the FX) were becoming more well known than the Inifniti brand itself, therefore Infiniti actually sought to make their individual models more anonymous so...
Just as long as there's no fake capacity badges on the back as is so often the case with practically every German built automobile nowadays when it comes to engine displacement in the badging. e.g. BMW decides to go and rebadge the F30 335i the 340i since Mercedes slapped C400 onto the trunk of...
No word yet on availability in the US, but a larger capacity pack is a must for it to be a viable commercial vehicle here in the States IMO, at least here in LA anyway where everything is spread out like crazy.
No word on pricing yet, and no information on anything larger than a 30kWh pack at...
In response to a few questions:
1. No official drop date yet, but I'd wager we'll see the car sometime in the fall when most new MYs hit the ground.
2. No mention of whether or not the S model's 24kWh pack is really a 30kWh pack that's just software limited to 24kWh, but as others have...
Long time lurker, never post much as you can tell. I tend to stick to the Z/G boards over at The370Z.com and G35Driver.com given that I drive a '13 Z34 but I'm a pretty big Nissan guy all the way around and sometimes post over at Maxima.org and JukeForums.com. I can't blame the doubters for...
