I haven't seen it but I agree with a few of the points made. If I had not have bought a Leaf, I would not have bought another Nissan. It was the only Nissan vehicle I was remotely interested in and I wasn't looking for "another vehicle". I was looking for a BEV specifically.

I think Tesla has the right idea with no dealerships, no haggling, easy experience. I think that is my next non-classic car. Either the S or the new Roadster if that is more than just a rumour...

Definitely agree the dealer experience being bad. Pretty much the attitude was that they could treat me any way they wanted and charge me anything they wanted and didn't care if I walked away (in hindsight, I should have walked away). The cost of being an early adopter, which I will never be again.

Also agree with the alternative being a Volt. I wouldn't consider another Nissan. Tesla is too expensive for my pocketbook and in Florida there are just about no other EV (or EV with a range extenders) alternatives.

Yep, I walked out of one dealer and went to the next. I would have walked out of that one too. They were straight up with the numbers (matched the Nissan website), VSS program, 0% financing, rebates, etc. I was going to buy a BEV, and they didn't try and talk me out of it.
