You can buy a 2011 Nissan Leaf that has had a 2018 Nissan Leaf battery pack installed, giving it 200+ miles of range, for like $15k. I want something like that!

Every Nissan I've driven in the last ten years had had terrible UI as well - more buttons switches and hat controls than my simulator flight stick
