Review Q&A nissan triple s
What are some of the funnest cars to work on?
Fun cars to work on are anything that isn't too complicated. When it comes to working on cars, the idea is to make money. Making money on cars is easier and faster when the cars are easy to work on. Mid 90's to mid 2000's Japanese cars are the first that come to mind, while any German car is the last to come to mind. Japanese cars of that era just seem to have been designed with maintenance in mind, there is plenty of room to access everything you need to on practically every operation. German cars are the exact opposite and no fun at all. Even the Japanese performance cars were usually pretty easy, except the Nissan 300ZX. Those had engine bays that looked like they were designed by the Germans. The awesome Toyota Supra Turbo was built perfectly. A timing belt change on that can be done in a couple hours vs. double or triple that on other cars. Also it depends on your area of expertise. Mechanics trained on modern cars usually don't find older cars fun to work on because they're totally different. WE find computer driven cars to be logical and easy to diagnose, while non computer cars might as well be the space shuttle. Even the suspension and steering systems are different and take a while to figure out. Anything that takes extra time isn't fun!
When will we find out what Theresa May offered Nissan re Brexit?
I think it’s pretty obvious what was promised. (just as a kinda Resume, I work for car companies usually location stuff so I get to listen to the grownup’s talking, this is what i picked up). Nissan was always going to be a difficult one, they have a “Cycle” of bidding for new models and jobs and that came up very soon after the brexit vote. The general consensus was that they were promised that Britain would not leave the single market for motor cars and that if they did then Nissan would be compensated. To be honest no other deal would have swung them, no company would invest €600 million in a plant if there was any chance that their product would be hit with a 10% tariff in a territory that accounts for 85% of it’s sales. Because of that a lot of people (myself included, see stuff I’ve written in the past) thought that we were heading for a very very soft Brexit, where we would even stay in the VAT zone. Because otherwise the Nissan deal was basically a timebomb, so the only conclusion would be that it was not going to go off. It seems that the deal was done as a political expedient, and given that even then the government knew we were headed for a hard Brexit. How much will it cost them ? I don’t know I would think it’s upwards of €2 billion, because of course it’s not just a case of returning the investment to them .. they will claim compensation for loss of sales, training of new staff, construction of new factories. There is a weird fairy story which is knocking about, mostly told by UKIP types where because the French and German car companies sell so many cars to us they will pressurize their governments to agree to a free trade deal for cars and car parts. It SOUNDS logical unless you know anything about the car industry. All the big importers are big fans of Brexit. For most the 80’s and 90’s Britain was known as “Treasure Island” to continental car companies they could easily charge 30% more in the UK than on the continent. The EU picked up on this and could not prove a cartel or any collusion (Possibly because it wasn’t there) so they simply made it possible for car buyers to buy their car anywhere, so for instance you could go to Dublin and buy an Opel Astra and have it delivered in the UK. To say the car companies hate this is an understatement. If the UK leaves the EU and goes to WTO rules then they have to pay 10% import duty, but for them it’s small price to pay for the freedom to set their own prices. They may sell fewer cars and lose a bit of market share to Hyundai and Toyota but they will probably triple the profit they make on each car. On the flip side we have to sell cars to Europe, they are pretty much the only market, and if our cars are 10% more expensive in the cutthroat world of European car sales then they don’t make the sale. They have a choice, they can buy a VW, Seat or Dacia and not pay the 10% import duty they would have to pay on a Nissan or British built BMW. The British Government often sounds like they do not understand the reality of trying to do a deal with the EU. The truth is most of the things we buy from the EU are very hard for us to source from elsewhere economically. But most of the goods that they buy from us, they can get from other countries. The Services are different but they can be supplied from the Irish Republic or Scotland if required so that all the UK loses is the tax take. Given that we already have a 71/2 % trade deficit we are going to have to go into overdrive selling central London property to Russian Criminals to makeup the shortfall that losing the car manufacturing industry will cost us.
How will other luxury car companies compete with the Tesla Model 3?
The Tesla 3's market segment isn't luxury vehicles. It's cars like the Ford Focus Electric, the Nissan Leaf, VW e-Golf, and Fiat 500e, all of which sell for around $30K - $35K today before tax credits. They all have ranges of around 70 - 100 miles. The Model 3 has a range of 210 miles. If the other brands can't bridge the gap and improve battery technology and implementation by 2017, (even if it means licensing technology from Tesla), they'll have no place in the market. This is a big deal for these brands, as they need these models to comply with US laws regarding average fuel economy. If the Focus Electric, Leaf, e-Golf and 500e don't triple their range in two years and all the manufacturers can do is manage to keep building vehicles with a 70 - 100 mile range, then they'll have to create a new segment (say, $20K average price) to sell them at. They'll lose money, almost certainly, but most of them are losing money on the current models anyway. This would be awesome for consumers and awesome for the electric vehicle industry as a whole.
What do I need to know before getting a plug-in electric car?
I’m assuming you mean a fully electric car, rather than a plug-in hybrid. That said, here are some questions to ask yourself before choosing one: How much range do you need?, This will probably be the primary factor to consider in choosing which model to get, since most of the EVs available are pretty similar in most other ways (except Tesla). If you’re just commuting and running local errands, a first-generation Nissan Leaf is probably sufficient (range: 70–80 miles per charge), and you can get those used. If you need more range than that, you’ll soon be able to get a new 2018 Nissan Leaf (150–200 miles of range), or you can get a Chevrolet Bolt (250 miles of range). There are a number of other options as well - the Kia Soul EV, the Volkswagen E-Golf, the Ford Focus Electric, the Hyundai Ioniq EV, and of course the elephant in the room, Tesla. The Model 3 is about on the Bolt’s level in price and range, but getting your hands on one will be a bit tricky if you don’t already have a reservation. The Model S has anywhere from 200 to 300 miles of range, depending on what battery size you get, and the Model X is similar. What can you afford?, Once you have one, electric cars are extremely cheap to own and operate, but like any new car, the initial purchase price is something to think about. If you don’t need more than 70–80 miles of range, a used Leaf may be sufficient, and you can get those for around $10,000 in many areas. Mine is a 2012 model that I bought two years ago for $12,000, and it’s served me very well. If you need more range, you’ll have to buy new (or wait a few years until the longer-range models hit the used market). A 2018 Nissan Leaf, which has about twice the range of the old model, will set you back at least $30,000, and a Chevy Bolt, which roughly triples the range of the old Leaf, will run $40,000 with a few options. You could also look into a Tesla Model 3, although Tesla is already backed up with orders several years in advance on those. The next step up is Tesla Model S, which can be anywhere from $50,000 for a used lower-range model (still well over 200 miles, though) to $70,000 for a brand new base model, up to well over $100,000 for a top-of-the-line Model S or Model X with all the bells and whistles (including over 300 miles of range). Besides all that, most new models also have the option to lease, although this is not always more cost-effective than buying. Where will you charge? ,The answer to this will probably be the same no matter which car you get, but it’s something to think about nonetheless. Unless you park on the street in a sketchy neighborhood, you’ll almost certainly want to adopt a habit of charging at home every night. That way, the car will always be charged in the morning, and you’ll rarely, if ever, have to worry about stopping to charge during the day. The car should include a charging cable that plugs into a 110v outlet - just plug that into the car whenever you park at home and you’re all set. A 110v outlet will charge most EVs overnight. For faster home charging, you can have a Level 2 charger installed, which is 220v and will give you a full charge in a few hours. It’s also a good idea to look up public chargers in your city - if there’s not very many or none at all, you may want to consider a car with slightly longer range than you would otherwise. What are they like to drive?, If you’ve never driven an electric car before, prepare for a pleasant surprise the first time you try it. There’s no engine to start, no noise, and usually no ignition key. The Leaf and Bolt have a push-button “on” switch - with a Tesla, it’s automatically on when it senses the key nearby. Acceleration is incredibly quick, smooth and quiet, and the instant torque makes it feel even faster than it is. Other that that, and the eerie silence (which you get used to quite quickly), it’s just like driving any other car. Some models have adjustable regenerative braking, which recaptures energy during deceleration and extends the range. When this is turned up high, taking your foot off the go pedal creates a lot of regenerative braking force, slowing you down quickly, and you don’t have to use the normal brakes as much. Sometimes you can essentially drive with one pedal, hardly touching the normal brakes at all. My older Leaf doesn’t do this, but I’ve been told that it’s a lot of fun and becomes intuitive very quickly. Features and performance differ slightly between models, so you should test drive several before choosing one. This is especially true if you’re considering a Tesla, since the driving experience and interface is so different from other cars. If used, what’s the battery condition?, This only applies if you’re buying a used electric vehicle. Along with all the other used-car stuff to think about - age, miles, options, previous owners - the most important question about a used EV is how much the battery has degraded over time. This will depend on a number of factors, and will substantially affect the range. The Nissan Leaf measures battery degradation with a stack of small indicator bars on the instrument cluster, visible along the right-hand side of the stack of larger state-of-charge bars. There are 12 bars, and if all 12 are illuminated, the battery still has its full capacity. Each bar will go out as the battery ages, indicating what fraction of the battery is still usable. My 2012 Leaf still has 10 bars out of 12, and as you’d expect, range is between 80 and 90 percent of what it was originally. As a rule of thumb, I wouldn’t buy a used Leaf with less than 10 bars of capacity left. I hope at least some of that was helpful. Good luck, and welcome to the electric future!
What is the future of electric cars?
Yes they are, and they have to be! The automotive industry has been the very example of human advances in technology since the introduction of the first petrol powered internal combustion engine designed by Karl Benz circa 1886. However, the industry is in a revolutionary transition period. With the release of the ,2016 global report on electric vehicles,, the International Energy Agency announced that 1.26 million electric vehicles hit the world’s roads in 2015. The global growth in the stock of electric cars topped 77 percent in 2015 and 84 percent in 2014, the number of electric vehicles has tripled since 2013.With such rapid growth in the industry fuelled by government backed investments into research and development, there is every indication that electric vehicles are one of the main driving factors needed to curb the impending environmental crisis we now find ourselves in. Given the need for such urgency and promising current statistics, the question remains as to why such expansion is not tenfold. Why are people still reluctant to buy an electric car over a petrol or diesel one? The only logically valid reason for this is because of one's personal preference based on nothing more than the fact of not owning an electric car. Any other reason concerning the technological capability of an electric vehicle being inferior to that of a conventional combustion engine vehicle is a myth. One needing to be dispelled. One major common misconception is that 'Electric cars do not have the range of fuelled cars, therefore they are impractical as an everyday vehicle'. Let’s be clear; if you are driving hundreds of miles as your daily commute, then perhaps an electric car’s range may come into question for you. However, the average person in the US will drive a maximum of 25 miles (40km) per day. A mid-range, Mercedes Benz B class electric drive will drive 124 miles (200km) on the road before it needs to recharged. A Tesla model S can average over 200 miles (321 km). So assuming you are not needing to make a long haul cross state trip every day, the range of an electric car is more than enough. Essentially, you will be able to drive to work, back again, then recharge your car at home. You should actually be able to drive further than your combustion engine counterparts, as most fuelled cars are not filled to the maximum before a journey, whereas most electric vehicles are fully charged at home before any journey. Another common misconception is that because Electric cars are relatively new to the market, they are far too expensive and become unaffordable for the average person. This claim again is unfounded. The Nissan Leaf is one of the most cost effective electric cars in the US that you can currently buy, and it currently stands at $21,510. This point is perfectly illustrated by the Mercedes Benz B class in the UK. The standard petrol version will cost you around £22,000 ($27,000), with the Electric version coming in at £28,000 ($34,500). The £6,000 ($7,300) difference is completely justified by the savings the vehicle makes. The average person, will spend well in excess of £1,000 ($1,250) per year on petrol compared to around £100 ($125) per year for an electric car, subject to your tariff. Plus, you do not have to pay any road tax or London congestion charge with an electric car as it emits zero emissions. Furthermore, you will be entitled to benefit in kind tax for electric vehicles. In addition to this, you may also be entitled to a £5,000 ($6,165) plug in grant from the government. And finally the costs of repair are much lower as you will not have to pay any expensive damaged engine costs. The savings from electric vehicles are also true in the US. In the US, monetary incentives for electric vehicles come in both federal and state issued form. For example, one country wide incentive is that buyers of plug-in hybrids and electric cars benefit from a tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500, depending on the size of the battery in the car. In addition, drivers are entitled to better electricity rates and insurance discounts. As expected California leads the way in generous incentives with its ‘Clean Vehicle Rebate Project’, that offers rebates for the purchase or lease of qualified vehicles. The rebates offer up to $2,500 for light-duty zero emission and plug-in hybrid vehicles that the California Air Resources Board (ARB) has approved or certified. Another common error made is that there are no charging points for electric vehicles. In 2011 there were 1,972 charging ports in the US, this jumped to 6,310 the next year. Today there are an estimated 21,813 charging ports in the US. There are an estimated 168,000 fuel stations in the US, down from 200,000 in 1994. Looking at these trends, there is every indication that Electric cars are the evolutionary ‘next step’ in automotive transportation in the US. In the UK, the statistics are a lot more dramatic and serve as a template of what is to come in the US. Currently there are 11,885 electric polls in 4190 Locations in the UK compared to 8,472 fuel stations in the UK. In 1970 there were an estimated 37,500 fuel stations in the UK. At that rate of decline, carmaker Nissan, believes there'll be less than 7,870 filling stations up and down the country by August 2020. In contrast, the increasing number of public electric vehicle charging 'locations' - which actually means individual posts - is expected to reach 7,900 by the same month in 2020. With these current and predictive statistics and given the fact most people will charge their electric vehicle at home anyway, it is certainly apparent that finding a place to charge your car is not an issue now UK and will actually be easier than finding a traditional fuel station in the not too distant future for the US as well. In sum, my conclusion is three pronged. From current statistics Electric vehicles are increasing dramatically in popularity; and with predictive statistics, they are set to overtake conventional combustion engines by 2027 according to some reports. Secondly, the technology is no longer just prototypical, in the sense that it is not in early production / trial stage as with Autonomous vehicles. The technology has been in production for a while, and is proven. And thirdly, there is an urgency for electrical vehicles. With the world’s oil reserves in ever decline and carbon dioxide along with other harmful gases causing rapid global warming; the need for eco-friendly cars running on electricity admitting zero emissions is huge. Electrical vehicles are no longer just a promising potential solution to the oil / carbon dioxide problem generated by the modern fossil fuelled cars. Electrical vehicles are the future, and they are the now.
Does the Tesla Model S really save money?
You compare way too different vehicles. As I live in EU I will use our Tesla price and comparable vehicle BMW 5.series touring with comparable engine+drivetrain with best fuel efficiency, 535xd. I will choose Tesla Model S 85D+techpackage+winterpack+leather. Price to buy: Tesla ~78500€, BMW 66300€stock+14700€(comparable options to Tesla)=81000€. I will exclude all incentives for Tesla and all taxes on BMW. Tesla needs 20kWh of electricity to drive 100km. BMW needs about 8l of diesel for 100km. Step 1: let's make them both drive 100 000km (no extra money on repairs as warranty does all that). Tesla needs 20 000 kWh electricity, BMW needs 8000 litres of diesel. Cost (will vary): Let us not assume that fuel will be as cheap as it is today. Even after 2 years. I will assume normal fuel price (as it was a year ago). I will assume that charging will be all at home and with average tariff (not using cheaper night-time electricity). Tesla 1kWh costs (EU average) 0,20€/kWh. Total: 4000€. BMW 1l diesel cost (EU average) 1,5€/l. Total: 12000€. first 100 000km (60 000 miles): BMW 93 000€ - Tesla 72 500€ Step 2: lets beat them until they die. 200 000km (I will assume BMW will not need service, which is unrealistic): BMW 105 000€ - Tesla 76 500€ 300 000km (unreal assumption that fuel price will stay the same for 10years): BMW 117 000€ - Tesla 80 500€ 400 000 km is practically the last for BMW as it is on its way to heaven: BMW 129 000€ - Tesla 84 500€ BMW value on market after 400 000km: 5%-10% (about 4000-8000€) Tesla value on market after 400 000km: Nobody knows but we assume about 25-40%. Battery will lose 20-40% of capacity so all 85kWh models are perfectly fine for further use with range of 300km (triple the range of new Leaf today). I'm unable to beat Tesla to death. It will go for 1 000 000km without the need to replace the battery (will still do Nissan Leaf range, so that it will be a dream car for poor students and old people). I excluded all engine and transmission repairs for BMW between 100 000km-400 000km. On average transmission needs 1 rebuild for 2000-3000€ and engine needs 16 oil changes, each costs 100€ so in 1600€ oil changes. Also injectors have to be rebuilt at about 250 000km so about 1000€. I will exclude turbos and exhaust treatment (they may last for 400 000km if they are lucky). PS. cheapest Tesla model S costs 60 000€ here and you can have comparable performance BMW 5-series 530d for the same price (a lot less options but lets forget that). Fuel consumption is 10% better. Do your math :)
What's the expected replacement cost of Tesla batteries?
You could get the cost ,today, from Tesla, or ready reckon it. It won't be pennies. However, if you buy a Tesla new, you have 8 years of warranty and then an expected further 8 years at least where you'll be above 80% capacity, probably 90% unless you supercharge every day and live in a hot climate. So what's really important is, what will a replacement Tesla battery cost ,when you need to replace it,? The answer is obviously unknown, as this will occur at an indeterminate point in the ,future. There is a parallel though. The Nissan Leaf. When it was new in 2011 the 24kWh battery pack was worth $19200. You can now buy a reconditioned 24kWh pack for $3000, , . You can upgrade your 2011 Leaf to a 62kWh pack for $8500. So in 9 years you can almost triple the battery capacity and range for around half the cost of the original battery. This probably brings some performance enhancements too, given that bigger packs can deliver more current. Since when has a fossil fuel vehicle been able to function with almost zero maintenance and incredible reliability for 15 years then be upgraded for half the cost of the original engine, to have triple the range and probably 25% more performance?
Can Tesla maintain its dominance in the EV sector if major ICE manufacturers switch to EV's?
Tesla can possibly maintain dominance in technology. They cannot dominate in production volume. Remember, the reason Tesla exists is to shift transportation away from toxic, filthy fossil fuels and toward clean renewable energy. The shift is underway! They could not do it alone. California has laws in place that require large auto makers to sell an ever increasing percentage of zero emission vehicles. That said, no other clean energy vehicle on offer since at least the first five years of Tesla production could match the performance, or appeal of a Tesla. I chose the ugly Nissan Leaf because I didn’t need a sports car and I certainly didn’t want to spend triple. While Nissan Leaf was vastly outselling Tesla Roadster it was clearly Tesla that captured the public’s imagination and forced the big automakers to sit up and take notice. When you have Tesla Model S sedan winning drag races against practically anything it comes up against it is pretty much writing on the wall. ICE cars are history. Tesla mission accomplished.

Is that Suzuki Caribbean considered a "low class" car by Thai people?
My frank answer to your direct question: ,NO, this old school automobile is not being perceived as a low class vehicle in Thailand, but rather as an antique item to be preserved as the personal collection. Thai people usually store her old fashioned beauty inside their house garage as a displayed vehicle to foretell its past story. “Suzuki Caribbean”, is an old school jeep that is rarely seen on the road in modern Thailand. Some may test drive her on the road to be seen on a catwalk at every once in awhile for the public appreciation. Most drivers tend to be an old school Thai folk from the mid 80’s-late 90’s generation when their age were in between 20’s-30’s at the time. I will display a visual image of the vehicle to give the general idea of the ride: [,Note: ,I was born in the mid 80’s period to miss out the old school popularity. In fact, I was only an infant at the time to suck on the pacifier and scream out loud for my mommy without it, while those old school Thai folks got to pick up a beautiful lady on the ride in Suzuki Caribbean.] Thai people do appreciate any antique vehicles, however vehicles are a depreciating asset in value after its declining operational efficiency through time. Therefore, they would unfortunately not be assessing the high value for such an old vehicle. The continuous maintenance cost is at all time certain after the vehicle purchase. Thai people usually look for the reliable solution that is worth their investment, and also look for the total package at one stop service (spare part, maintenance, after sales service, etc. all in one go). A modern vehicle design is exactly the reliable investment for the Thai attitude and mindset with available automobile shops throughout the country (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Suzuki, etc.). Thus, ,“Suzuki Caribbean” ,is no longer a manufactured vehicle in the Thai marketplace, and its replacement spare parts are no longer available in Thailand as the result. Thai people are not that antique crazy about an old vehicle in comparison to Americans. Most do not want to gamble the risk in the continuous maintenance cost, and face the unfortunate possibility to the unavilable automobile spare parts in Thailand. On the other hand, the US marketplace has a different attitude about their vehicle purchase, and not just rely on the one stop service at 24/7 unlike the Thai attitude and mindset.
