I’m not needing to make a vehicle purchase until early 2019, though it would be nice to purchase before the end of 2018 to limit the time until tax credit, or maybe get a great deal on a 2018 model.
I don’t think there is anything purchasable in the market like the Clarity. Leaf was fun to drive if I could accept the size and interior finish trade off, but I refuse to buy the vehicle without active battery temperature management that appears to be key to battery longevity. Rumor is that 2019 will have active battery temp management with LG Chem cells, at least an option for over 225 mike range, and increased torque making it more of a model 3 competitor - could be compelling.
What are your predictions on when 2019 Clarity specs will be released and when 2019 Clarity’s will enter show rooms? How do you think this will compare to Leaf’s spec release and rollout (I’ve seen into 2019 for long range, so will short range have active battery temp management)? Have all 2018 Clarity’s that will be produced been delivered? Will the 2019 Clarity have the much requested lumbar support, updated infotainment, improved torque with ICE blocked? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks!
