They really should have had the 60kWh / 200+ mile version ready for the premier..
I'm guessing there is some actual reason, probably involving size of the pack..
Yeah, they were showing a mule with a larger pack a while ago, but that doesn't mean there were able to get it to fit in the current design nicely...
Might also be related to the type of batteries in the pack, and maybe a contract with a different battery vendor will be needed?
So, then, if there are these issues, do you not launch now and wiat for the issues to be fixed, or do you launch with the 150 mile version and release the 200+ when you are able? I think it's better not to wait, especially with the Bolt out there now..
Also, its possible that they are looking at the Bolt sales (not bad for an EV, but not flying off the lots) and decided not to rush the larger pack...
Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens to Leaf AND to Bolt sales..
