Meanwhile, Tesla will continue to school the experts. Nissan needs to aim the Infiniti EV straight at the Tesla Gen III Bluestar. Or contract Tesla to build a version as an Infinti.

It is not difficult to build a TMS - even Ford (& Coda !) has done that. The problem is volume - Leaf simply doesn't have space for TMS. There is a reason why Model S is so huge - it is not just because Musk has so many kids.


Not really due to the TMS. The battery pack in the Model S is only 2.5x the area of the Leaf's battery despite holding 3.5x more energy. So it's 35% denser even with the TMS.

If you meant to say the Leaf can't use a proper TMS with its current battery chemistry, you'd definitely be right.
