looks more roomy than the model Y and probably as reliable as the Leaf. If they can mass market the SUV and churn them
out as they did with the Leaf then we have a winner.
Finally the battery is actively cooled which they refused to do with the Leaf.

I wonder why Nissan didn't put this under the infiniti brand. I feel like some consumers are going to be brand snobs and not want to pay so much for a Nissan. Not that infiniti has much brand prestige but I would assume its better than Nissan.
Not sure how I feel about the front...its not bad just different. I love the rear. Looks much better than the Model Y imo.
The interior...although I am not a fan of the minimalist interiors, I think this interior offers a nice mix between both extremes. The touch buttons look cool, not sure how good they will be to use though. Again, looks much better than the model Y interior.

Hmmm. Lots of people have said that before but Tesla performance is really unmatched. People are recording 4.5s to 60 in the Y and 3.5 seconds in the Performance. I suspect they will add a speed boost option in the Y soon just like the Model 3 which would get the 0-60 in the base version to be 4s flat. A full second in the 0-60 is a chasm of a difference in speed. So we will see if the extra performance from a Tesla translates into sales over the Nissan.

Its a home run for sure, and probably something Nissan dealers can finally be excited about selling. Heck sign me up for a test drive in one of these!

Unlike the Audi E-Tron and the Jaguar I-Pace (both of which have hefty financial incentives to move units right now), Nissan has a leg up having built & sold the Leaf for so long. They, and Toyota, I think have the best chance of getting close to Tesla.

People have to realize that Nissan's goal isn't trying to top the Model Y sales. Their target sales in the first year is 30k units. Thats like a month of Model Y sales so hopefully, people don't call it a failure when the numbers aren't so great. I think the Mach E is a better car and much more compelling though so I can't wait until that launches later this year.

Either way, model Y sales has been no where close to 30k a month if they can only produce under 10k per month (which might have changed since July)

30,000 Model Y per month? Where di you get that info? Last I read the production line for the Model Y currently has a max capacity of 2205 per week. Has general assembly line 5 opened yet?
