Agree 100%!
I got keyless entry on my Leaf for the first time and would never want to revert.
To pay for convenience lights ... that's insulting.
I think, seriously, that the more these "gimmicks" unfold over the next year, MANY reservation holders will walk.
One thing that has me on the fence is this "ever so important" announcement that we've all been waiting for ... for how long ... about "it will all make sense" ... the presumed proprietary public charging infrastructure.
And with the recent fighting in these forums, it's getting less and less appealing.
They could include the tech package in the base price and raise the base price $3,750 I guess:smile:. That would probably make people happier. They had advertised a $50,000 base price and must have felt they needed to take these things out to make their target price. I don't see this as a gimmick. Yes it would have been nice if it all was standard and under $50k but it is not. Homelink should have been included in the base price but there is nothing wrong or unusual about them putting some desirable features in a package in order to try and maximize their profit. BMW charges $1,000 just for the automatic keyless entry but you can buy it as a stand alone option.
