Chelsea's list of compiled questions was skipped entirely. They started out by making their own statements about 3 main areas of concern then moved directly into taking questions from the audience.bradbissell said:Did they answer any of Chelsea's compiled questions, or was this really just a PR move? Not impressed if just a PR stunt.

Is there a way to get rid of the OK accept each time you enter the car?
Well, I was there and I heard every word, and I still dismiss the meeting as useless for me. I think the main reason for having a meeting, specifically in Phoenix, should not have been just PR, but should have been to make a focus on special assurances with hot climate owners that Nissan has their back after making false claims about heat not being an issue with their battery in hot climate, and to make it right to the affected owners somehow. Nothing of the sort was achieved.TonyWilliams said:Well, you guys are quick to dismiss without having heard a word. Yes, it is PR. That's your modern world.
Sure, but user inputs to improve future model years can easily be done via many different medium and Nissan executives shouldn't have to travel to Phoenix to do this. The main reason for Nissan execs to travel to Phoenix should have been to address the heat issue in AZ specifically, and how to remedy it properly with AZ owners. That should have been the main goal of the town hall, and it totally fell short.TonyWilliams said:Many of the modifications to the 2013 were direct results of user input. The North American battery does have a slightly different chemistry than Japan (sorry, no hard tech data).
They don't get the credit from me for coming in to have a town hall in Phoenix just for show and not having a serious discussion about an effective remedy for the battery heat issue for Phoenix owners. If anything, they totally wasted my time because I didn't hear anything new from them that would help solve my battery issue with the heat.TonyWilliams said:I must give them credit for coming to a potentially hostile crowd and stating their case. They could just as easily hide behind Press Releases and let the lawyers handle the fallout.
I gotta say that the Phoenix crowd was VERY much more cordial and civilized to the Nissan execs than I thought they would be. But there was underlying and suppressed emotion for sure, because at times, something somebody said that struck a chord with the audience elicited prompted applaud from the crowd. One time even a couple of people from the crowd stood up to applaud a sharp point being made for Nissan.Herm said:Where is all the anger?.. I see lots of smiles in the pictures.

Don't be silly. The highlight was meeting Chelsea!cwerdna said:^^^
Maybe seeing the '13 Leaf was the highlight of the event?

So .... they're still too tall. Back into the trunk, until rear passengers use em. Guess it's too complex to have the all too common completely collapsible ones used. (sigh) Maybe by 2020 ... I should live so long.TickTock said:Also, rear headrests are about 1" shorter.
