The "enthusiast" market is irrelevant in terms of overall size and the share Nissan can command. At least the traditional "enthusiast" market. There is a whole new segment where that term applies, in the early adoption of electrics. This too, will pass once those cars become the norm.
Interestingly, Maserati is rumoured to be going all-electric too. There was talk of it entering a team in Formula E, but honestly I doubt that league will exist long enough (in its present form, anyway) for this to happen.

Teslas are fairly prevalent out west. There are more of them in town than my lonely 370z. Lol! We have a charging station at the Carl's Jr right off I-40. They are a dime a dozen in Las Vegas.
