As someone who used to build qashqai and leaf at Nissan I can say they are well equipped for what you pay for them, but I for one would never own one as ive seen some horrors on that production line that would stop me doing so. This new electric car seems decent enough but prices are still way too high for what they are! Will be better built than a tesla though. As far as tooling costs go we used to build leaf on the qashqai line with the same tooling and equipment so im not sure where the extra costs come from, even the battery pack came from a unit 100 yards over the road so I’m stumped! Maybe with most manufacturers now doing fully electric vehicles the prices may start to come down.
