GranTurismoEra Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/nissan/electric-sports-cars/ Traditionally in our sports car line-up we’ve always had the GT-R as the highlight, a car like the Z in the middle and an entry-level car like the Pulsar,’ explains Espinosa. ‘Today we’re missing this point. Z is doing very well in terms of sales and customer satisfaction. In the future my dream is to keep these three elements – this could be the ideal sports car offering, with an affordable entry point for young buyers in their mid-20s who are passionate about cars. Because this is something some car manufacturers have forgotten about – the passion for cars. It depends on the country, but we see that young customers are less and less attracted to cars. And I think one of the reasons is we’re not offering something really exciting. With sports cars can we make that spark, you know, and bring the flame back.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 yeah hes out of touch. Although New Z Nismos have sold out initial allocations. Its whether they can deliver the allocation in a timely fashion. Nissan sales and after sales have a bit of incompetence to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matay20 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Got a new ID4 arriving on Tuesday, not my choice but my company are going carbon neutral so EV’s are the only option. 6.7 secs doesn’t sound bad for a daily but the sitting at a charger for over an hour isn’t something I’m looking forward to… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matay20 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 There aren’t that many local chargers above 22kwh, 50kwh are usually at motorway services so I think it’s an hours charge plus waiting for one to be available. my local Tesco has 3 chargers and I very rarely see one empty.

GranTurismoEra Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Ive got one installed during Covid for like 400 with government grant. Theyre now £1000 or so for 22kwh. It takes 5 hours to reach 80% on the Kia Niro. Its a good feature to have if selling the house. Plus never know i might see an electric roadster itll be convenient. Plus might be able to rent it out for ppl visiting the area and charge them to charge on the driveway. Ours is pod point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matay20 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 My work pay for one but my house is up for sale and they won’t relocate it so I’m stuck without one for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, fourth. Fastest electric car? Nope, second. Fastest production car? Nope, it's slightly modified from production. Erm, fastest... "production-based chassis"? Yeah, sure, that's definitely a thing. *Yes, I'm aware that every lap ever of the Nordschleife claims to be the "fastest" lap when a billionty caveats are applied.

VW assistance came out and found ‘nearly 50’ faults logged on it. Needles to say it’s in the garage and probably needing a new computer of some sort…. The garage service team just shrugged and said “ we love an electric here “ as they basically can’t do a lot with them and parts are limited so it could be a while… new batteries are about a 3 month wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 whats the diagnosis? can the faults be cleared with an update or does it need new parts? Our Kia E-Niro has been reliable for 4 years. Hardly any system faults come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I got a new car yesterday. Tesla Model Y. Don't hate me. I got it on a salary sacrifice scheme through work on an insanely good deal - it would have been foolish not to get one. Unfortunately means i'll have to get rid of my Range Rover Sport which i love, but that's a 2014 model so is 10 years old now, so the time's right to let it go. First drive of it today - it's impressive - very quick 40-100mph. Love the modern tech - no key, no need to lock/unlock, no on/off switch - just put it in park and walk away. Only down side is i look like a soccer mom in it, so might have to get some stick on mods. Also considering a nato green wrap (gloss) which could look good. I've still got the Lotus though, so im not a total sell out.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
