Here's an interesting Detroit News article that quotes Andy Palmer several times: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...61/Nissan-exec--Leaf-sales-fall-short-of-goal
The article mentions a new VP overseeing the Leaf program global. Not sure if that's Palmer himself or someone else. Also, Palmer's title looks very close to Mark Perry's old title. Does that mean he's replacing Perry? It's very light on details but this is the most info I have seen from Mr. Palmer in a while.
He talks about:
1) Not Hitting the 20,000 2013 sales goal
2) Marketing mistakes
3) A plug in Hybrid coming in 2015! (first I've seen of this?)
4) The importance of TN production to hitting sales goals.
5) 2013's hitting dealer showrooms at the end of Feb 2013
6) The poor handling of the accelerated battery aging in hot climates.
