update request - TN grand opening

[ksnogas2112]

I know some of you guys were asked to the TN plant grand opening that was cancelled. Are there any updates?

Only that there isn't going to be one. Cancelled completely and not rescheduled. I was supposed to get some PR materials to post for you guys this week. But I'm not holding my breath, what with the Thanksgiving Holidays and all.

I’ve talked to Nissan about this, and they swear it was just difficulty with getting the execs/dignitaries schedules together. I am told they are (or already have) put together a new press release and the related materials about the opening.of the plant and it sure be out in the extremely near future.
They did confirm to me that the plant is right now making batteries for US production of the LEAF.
