On a sidenote...
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

RE
#Nissan #LEAF and canceled customer mobile app...

Wow, I have a 2019 LEAF and in winter time, just get in an turn on the steering wheel heater and the main air heater. I didn't know there was an app for that

In #Osaka it's not very cold, only like 35°F (or 2-10°C) in winter for a _few_ months

The LEAF with e-Pedel on, is a GREAT fullsize #EV

How do you like using the e-Pedel? I use it all the time, except when parking

@six_grandfathers_mountain

I also drive a Kia e-niro, where I can adjust the regen effect in steps. The Nissan e-pedal is like driving with max regen at all time. I prefer that when driving in the city or residential areas. But as you say, sometimes, like when parking, it's nice without.

So far this winter we have experienced -15C. Preheating the car means a lot. But it also heats up rather quick so it's not the end of the world. Just very annoying to lose something that already worked fine.

Yea, #Nissan was probably very busy, (not to help you) 🥵 as in having their business becoming not as profitable as Toyota, Honda, Masda, Suzuki and no exta time or staff.

3G will be canceled here this month, I wasn't that aware that 3G was ending around the world, from 2023, 2024, 2025.

⭕Is the #LEAF #carnavigation #Navi map working?
I wonder if that will stop in my LEAF in a few days.

@six_grandfathers_mountain

I think the last mobile operator in Norway killed off 3g back in 2021

Apparently that had NO impact on the 40kw Leaf.

Which indicates that Nissan equipped it with a 4g/LTE modem, which will continue to work for quite some time into the future

...they just don't want to...

@six_grandfathers_mountain

And according to your link, they can't even blame 2g, which was apparently killed off last new years eve

RE
#Norway killed #3G first and later #2G

Tech dies in funny ways, different times, out of our control 🤪, like #corydoctorow @pluralistic says...that's why this thread started by
@obucate posting the Ian "making things shitty" and we got to #NISSAN etc

Actually that shitty job making the basic webpage into an explosion of graphic crap in the video, that's funny. The top executives so happy in the #enshitifcation
