as part of the advisory committee, Nissan really only asked us what we thought the general concern would be and we pretty much told them exactly what came up here.
Which you now call "childish"??? Huh?

now, cheap leases do not address the people who bought 11's so what to do? cant sell technology you don't have.
Could you please explain that sentence? What exactly do you mean by "cant sell technology you dont have"???
They sold me a car WITH a battery. Its right here in my garage. If you want to come up to Seattle, I can show you the battery that I purchased from Nissan. They could do it in 2011, why cant they do it today? Or commit to doing it sometime in the next 5 years.
Also, you do want to review the facts:
1) We have heard Andy Palmer say in public, that they did not expect to replace batteries in the Leaf
2) We also heard them say "we will give you a battery price in Spring" and they didn't
3) it has been 2 1/2 years now since they started selling the cars. They are mass producing batteries in Tennessee now. Yet they dont even commit saying "we will provide a replacement battery". Nobody cares about a price right now. But we want to know that Nissan will provide a replacement for an essential part of the car that is KNOWN to wear out.
Stop defending the fact that they refuse to sell vital replacement parts for their product.
If any manufacturer would pull this kind of stunt e.g. with a popular ICE model, this would be an outrage and law suits would follow promptly.
Sure, tomorrow they could come out and say they will sell a battery, but right now I find NOTHING that would reassure me that they will, yet I see plenty of signs, that they wont.
