And a $100 software patch fixes the Leaf problem. No problem.

Scored a low k leaf for sister, impressive drive, no hesitation whatsoever when overtaking, traded her sti subbie that was costing between $80 to $120 per week for fuel - she thought she would miss her subbie but couldn't give a shite about the over-complicated piece of shite. (Granade on wheels)
20 moving parts in a leaf motor - 2000+ moving parts in a ICE = No Brainer!

Language so hard.
But yes, a small software fix solves the problem and there was nothing wrong with the battery in the first place.
Electric cars are as trouble free as claimed (if you buy the right one)

ummmm if you dont buy any car then you have troble free and you do not hope to buy the right one . or any car is good if you buy the right one. -- i also win the lotto if i buy the right ticket.

That makes no sense, you can't select a winning lotto ticket its random the numbers are drawn after you buy it.
Obviously you need a car to get around, it just happens if you buy a Leaf you're unlikely to have mechanical problems, statistically they're extremely reliable and the one thing that seemed like it might be a major issue, isn't and is fixed with a $100 software upgrade.
Do you understand?

Electric cars are fine its their electric motors that are in pain, theyre screaming out for juice bwah.
And I quote my previous post on here, their needed to be that "ImConfident" of the product. Tesla come out with a 3 ton electric car! which is "Incorrect."
It sounds just like the model radio controlled cars I raced as a kid lol.

I.D. R was very specifically designed for that event. It'll be interesting to see improving battery technology make for ranges suited to longer distance races.
Don't think there are such a good deal when the battery apart from being expensive seems to be the weakest link.The battery units are sealed so a few dead cells can let the whole thing down and they can't be repaired(replaced) easily

Easier to repair than an internal combustion engine.

Batteries last for years and are very reliable, mines 7 years old and still going strong. Once you take into account the massive savings on operating costs replacing it every 10 years or so is a minor.
