Bought a seven year old Nissan Leaf 40kw just before Xmas
Now Nissan tells me they don't care enough about their existing customers to let the mobile app continue to work for these cars, so we will no longer be able to pre heat the car before driving
So much for trusting a company...
Guess I will never buy a Nissan again
Colin Warren@baardhaveland @obucate @pluralistic To be fair, as an original owner of a 2017 Leaf, this is because the hardware in the car is a 3G cellular modem. Which no longer can connect as the Telcos have turned off the antennas. And are no longer listening…
baibold@cvwarren @baardhaveland @obucate @pluralistic This is why we can't have nice things. Used to be when tech in a car got obsolete, you could get aftermarket replacements, or at the very least, a nice cassette tape adapter to plug your MP3 player into your car.
No excuses for why they couldn't have allowed for wifi connections other than forcing consumers to pay for a subscription.
I had a 2019 Hyundai ioniq a few years ago. Awesome car, but not online.
But it DID support wifi so I could get updates for both software and the map.
This also allowed me to use my phone as an access point to get GPS traffic info while driving.
Why isn't this a thing any more? 😢
@baardhaveland because virtually nobody competes on quality, only maximum profit for minimal investment.
