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

@cvwarren @obucate @pluralistic

It's a 2018 model. Also, it's in Norway.

I'm on somewhat thin ice here, but to my knowledge, the 2g and 3g network was taken down quite a while ago. So if the app still works in February of 2026, I'm guessing the car must be on 4g.

@cvwarren @obucate @pluralistic

I asked them, and there was no mention of mobile network shutdown in their answer.

"Denne endringen skyldes den eldre arkitekturen til den nåværende plattformen, som ikke kan oppgraderes for å støtte fremtidige forbedringer eller samsvare med våre pågående utviklingsplaner."

--> "This change is due to the legacy architecture of the current platform, which cannot be upgraded to support future enhancements or conform to our ongoing development plans."

@cvwarren @obucate @pluralistic

But as a user of _this_ car, I do not need or expect future enhancements. I simply need the currently working ones to keep working.

I'f it's because the 3g network is going down, I get that. But I'm not convinced that is the case.

Nissan has been in the Enshittification Game for a long time.
