fedi, should I upgrade my 2013 Nissan Leaf AZE0 to 69kWh?

it'll cost a whole boatload of money (13k) but it's a load cheaper than any comparable new option that gets you ~70kwh worth of fresh battery

and I also really like the ZE0 for being a down to earth physical button loving car that just works and still does most of its stuff mechanically..

I could also get the 40kwh pack for basically half that, but that's also almost half the power, it'd still make driving longer distances kinda tensešŸ«

@anthropy rental if/when you actually drive the longer distance? Seems poor idea to tie too much into older vehicle. Rust, major wear issues will happen...

@furicle the thing is that it's only got 80k km on it, it's in really good shape, and I really like the vehicle compared to those modern smartphones on wheels. it's also a lot cheaper than similar options with a more worn battery pack

@anthropy can you get it appraised after? I.e. what happens if somebody t bones you, can you get your money back out?

I hear you about the style, I'm driving a 2002 at the moment :-). Wish I had abs, but otherwise
