^ How true.

Tesla knows exactly what it wants to be when it grows up. Whether it gets there or not is definitely up for debate. But Nissan seems incapable of identifying a goal, much less reinventing itself for the 21st century.

So enthusiasts mean nothing right now. We are considered dinosaurs. Our market is irrelevant. And with millenials and the new gen not interested in driving. Electric cars are the future and i cant stand it. At least...
Chevy, Ford and Dodge have not sold out for the cause.

Of course, Chevy, Ford, and Dodge are pretty diverse and are even be able to service diverse specialty markets. Light and medium duty pickup trucks, commercial vehicles, electric/hybrids, people movers, sports/muscle cars, and specialty cars. No small feat, that.

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.

Remember all those Carl's Jr commercials with smoking hot babes tearing into huge burgers...

I miss those.

Oh, anyway, I have yet to see my first charging station anywhere outside of a few in Oregon.

The first recharging station I seen was at Hershey Park 2 years ago. One local outlet mall just installed about a dozen of them. The problem is. Where they put them at. Was where the handicap used to park. And guess what. The handicap are still parking in those spots. If you have to recharge. It's not going to happen.
