Well, I've been waiting for confirmation that the 2016s have a 3g radio in them. I've still not seen it anywhere in the published specs for the car. But you did not have to sign any statement about the AT&Ts discontinuation of the 2G network when you purchased the car?
I'd like to see what paperwork you did see on that point. I'm another one here that says Nissan will do nothing if/when AT&T does in fact shut off 2G in December (I think they will just not continue it as towers get upgraded equipment so it will die slowly) as announced. There is no up to Nissan to do so. They sell new cars, not keep old ones working 5-10 years out.
I think, by now there are enough articles on the 2016 Leaf online that mention that it has a 3G radio. Nissan retired Carwings altogether for 2016, and it now uses NissanConnect for the Leaf, albeit a special version called NissanConnect EV. No, I did not have to sign anything regarding planned AT&T 2G obsolescence.
I think, if you step into any dealership, they can show you that letter..I will try and hunt it down in my paper stack. I have a 50-50 feeling on whether Nissan will do anything about the 2G obsolescence. It would be very unfair for 2014-2015 model year owners to see their telematics die in just 1-2 years. That is what makes me think, Nissan will most certainly work out an alternate plan.
2G it seems, is not just dying on AT&T network, it is to be phased out completely in the US and the frequencies re-allocated for other uses.
