Well let's pray for Japan assembly line bc there's something serious wrong based on the Z and Q50/Q60 numbers. For the Q50 and Q60 numbers, it decreased by 50-80% production from previous year.
If every dealers all do ADM, then the likelihood of the price trend going below MSRP is unlikely to happen. Like gasoline price, there's a saying "it goes up like a rocket, and falls like a feather".
I just found out that they're not using an in-house MT tranny, but from Toyota (similar to the 370Z). I hope Nissan can find an in-house solution to build the roll-out momentum .... it has been a dismal
Might be perfect timing I guess. Right now, I'm waiting until December 2023, after my car note, for a Nissan Z Sport MT. Hopefully, it will be $43K OTD (to replace my current monthly payment)
Can't justify for a 3.0 Supra MT ($15K more), but right now the Supra appears to be more affordable (w/...
No, the risk of thermal runaway is much lower than common li-ion. A123 battery had a breakthrough 10yrs ago on this LiPO4Fe battery chemistry.
Pre-2021 Tesla uses nickel-cobalt-aluminium, a common li-ion chemistry. It has been reported that newer ones uses LiPO4Fe
Supra MT or BRZ looks like a good buy right now. One guy on FB said he got a A91 MT MSRP.
I wonder how many Nissan can produce this calendar year. Hopefully all of the 240 proto they promised. Toyota (Magna Styer) will produce about 5000 units by end of year.
The 5spd were perfected during the late 90s for many companies. The design of AT changed substantially after they add more gears. Toyota had issue with their 6AT from 2007 v6 camry and now able to scale-up to different AT. And Toyota was late into CVT, they didn't throw everything into a basket...
$10K increase is a lot of money for vast majority of the population, bro... are you that out of touch? lol
ps... don't normalize it. Need to aim for invoice price purchase ;)
I think it’s harder and more costly for a boutique company to make car parts out of aluminum and overlay it w/ CF than straight CF.
I used to do FG mold work and I think I can do CF in my 2car garage
