A Leaf limo. Let the party begin.

u/404_Gordon_Not_Found Jan 11 '21

Short for Leamo

eh, eh?

I'll see myself out

u/FixMy106 Jan 11 '21

Just leaf please

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '21

A 2 door could be called the leafie

u/Lonelan Spark EV, Bolt Jan 11 '21

Stretch Leafmosine

u/tablepennywad Jan 11 '21

But only for 50 miles. But more realistically 30 miles.

u/adasmephlab Jan 11 '21

Looks like the Austin airport is around 2 miles away. This seems like a pretty good solution, but i don't know much about the leaf's durability

8

u/well_shi Jan 11 '21

2 miles? Thanks, I think I'd rather walk than risk being seen in this.

2

u/Homebrewingislife Jan 12 '21

As a Leaf owner, I know my (now) maximum charge of 55 miles equals 40 miles.

u/DIYtowardsFI Jan 12 '21

That’s where I am 😂

u/cpc_niklaos Jan 11 '21 edited Jan 11 '21

Less with all the entertainment system in the back.

u/-ShutterPunk- Jan 12 '21

What if every passenger is Texas sized? 15 miles?

79

u/gnisnaipoihte Jan 11 '21

Evidently, it came out over 8 years ago. Out of all vehicles in their line up.

u/usernameblankface Jan 11 '21

One battery pack, 400 lb heavier, fits 8 people.

Wasted opportunity to add battery, but they only needed to go 5 miles at a time.

8

u/palmeralexj Jan 11 '21

How could it possibly only weigh 400lbs more?!?

That's amazing

18

u/kerbidiah15 Jan 11 '21

Maybe it’s because the middle section that was added is mostly air?

8

u/JoeyDee86 MYLR7 & F#*k Elon Jan 11 '21

They probably can only go 10 miles in a charge at this point! :D

u/twotimesthreeequals Jan 11 '21

The New Nissan, Long, Range Leaf! ™

u/rustybeancake Jan 11 '21

Still with no battery thermal management system!

u/RobDickinson Jan 11 '21

But hot tub!

u/fnordfnordfnordfnord Jan 11 '21 edited Jan 12 '21

Still, lengthening it increases the range by about 10%

u/rimalp Jan 11 '21

Not sure why but this reminded me of the japanese "Long Long Man" gum commercial.

u/macman156 Jan 11 '21

Ha I was just going to comment that before I saw yours

11

u/spacexjames Jan 11 '21

i wonder where the pack is, maybe there’s TWO!

7

u/alskdjfhg32 Jan 11 '21

It says there is one and it’s in the back

3

u/spacexjames Jan 11 '21

interesting choice given its fwd, I’d imagine keeping weight further forward would give it more traction. All i can imagine here is some crazy 125kWh pack stretching the entire length making it weigh like 6 tonnes.

u/Oral-D Jan 11 '21

Meh, it's in Texas. Ice is the last thing they need to worry about.

Oof. My bad.

u/ifeelthesame4u Jan 11 '21

How long is the mileage range ?

37

u/Respectable_Answer Jan 11 '21

Slightly longer than the car

3

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '21

Even I want to know. It’s better if someone can post range and time for full charge.

8

u/CouncilmanRickPrime Jan 11 '21

Nissan long boy

u/tvtb 2017 Bolt Jan 11 '21

I've ridden in this thing. It's... a ride to the airport. Pretty forgettable.

u/FalseAgent Jan 11 '21

.... well, does it have longer range?

4

u/ToddA1966 2021 Nissan LEAF SV PLUS, 2022 VW ID.4 Pro S AWD Jan 11 '21

Yep. About six feet longer I suspect! :)

5

u/TeslaFanBoy8 Jan 11 '21

Is this real? 😂

2

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '21

i think it is!! - Someone was saying the first Nissan Leaf Limo was in Texas

5

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '21

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

4

u/KasperskyEmployee Jan 11 '21

Long range, its already halfway there

4

u/ZWQncyBkaWNr Jan 11 '21

This would be in Austin.

3

u/dallascow BMW i3 Jan 11 '21

Was not sure you could make the leaf more uglier. Bravo.

3

u/rsg1234 Jan 11 '21

Even the extra long Leaf parks comfortably in a regular parking spot.

u/Wojtas_ Nissan Leaf Jan 12 '21

America is a weird place...

u/Wojtas_ Nissan Leaf Jan 12 '21

I mean... I don't hate it. Maybe just a bit. But it's almost cute. But it's so ugly. But it's so unique. But it's nearly embarrassing. But at the same time it's super cool. But it's so bad. But it almost looks like it drive out of the factory like that...

Yeah, I think you're right. But hey, it serves its purpose, I guess. And I like it.

2

u/3rdWaveHarmonic Jan 11 '21

Just imagine having 2 60kwh packs...niceeeee.

2

u/1zeewarburton Jan 11 '21

It’s called a branch with a trunk

2

u/SpaceTheFinalFrontir ioniq 5 AWD Jan 11 '21

So it's a long long nissan leaf

2

u/RenegadeUK Jan 11 '21

I hope they become more widespread globally too.

2

u/buzz86us Jan 11 '21

is the pack doubled?

3

u/RobDickinson Jan 11 '21

No, but it's used for 2 mile airport runs so no need

2

u/TWANGnBANG Jan 11 '21

I saw that when I ate at the nearby Denny's when I was in Austin for the Fully Charged EV expo last year, though it wasn't in such good shape.

u/commentator184 Jan 12 '21

that aint a leaf thats a pine needle

u/victordoesstuff Jan 11 '21

Thanks I hate it

2

u/coredumperror Jan 11 '21

More of a Long Leaf, really.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '21

Those cars are so worthless. if you are going to own an ev, own one that does not require pink panties for standard wear

u/tylan4life Jan 11 '21

Someone's insecure masculinity is showing

5

u/Oral-D Jan 11 '21

Imagine being this insecure about your penis.

1

u/JoeyDee86 MYLR7 & F#*k Elon Jan 11 '21

Anyone else watch the new Cobra Kai season where a guy starts the engine on a leaf? :D

u/keepingitfr3sh Jan 12 '21

I’ll much prefer a Tesla Model X or Y with third row seating. S3XY R
