YouTuber The Electric Viking, Sam Evans, claims Nissan is “increasingly disconnected from reality” as sales fall to such low levels that banks reportedly view the company as junk status. If it can secure financing at all, Nissan would likely face some of the highest borrowing costs available.
Under new leadership, Nissan’s plan is blunt: shut down seven factories, cut 10,000 jobs, and pivot toward V6 naturally aspirated engines.
The electric vehicle era is a gathering storm for Nissan, and it appears to be walking straight into it with a paper umbrella.
The Electric Viking frames this as a roadmap toward self-destruction.
