@gloucester. This only proves to me that the Alis battery system is an aftertought and Nissan simply kept most of the Firmware and softwares of the US Nissan Rogue.
Comparing Youtube videos of the infotainment, digital dashboard and HUD of the Rogue 2020/2021 vs the 'new' Qashqai 2021 ... it is difficult to draw any other conclusion.
Drove the new one today

Just had word from the Nissan dealership to say my order, along with other customers, has been put back by at least a month until the end of September/beginning of October.
They have got a Tekna + demonstrator in the showroom now so I can pop along and test it for headroom with it having the electric seats and the panoramic glass roof

@Sandgrounder. You wrote earlier that your J12 Tekna+ was supposed to be delivered on August 27.
BTW I was upposed to get my J12 Tekna+ in July or August but did not get word from the dealership.
[But to me, personally, it's no big deal ... since my car is still A OK]
I wonder though wether delivery will be that "early" since I read at the German QQ Forum :
https://www.qashqaiforum.de/threads/bes ... 89/page-28
"My dealer said on my last visit two days ago that the delivery situation for the new J12 was really catastrophic.
He will be given delivery dates for February 2022 for the QQs ordered in May / June."
But that may only apply to German customers, people from the UK may get their car sooner (?).
I hope for your sake that this is not accurate.

That’s right, @QaiFan, it was due to be delivered on 27th August with collection from 1st Sept.
Unfortunately, with 10% of the workforce sent home because of the COVID-19 test and trace system, they are now playing catch-up to continue with production.
I now need to organise a MOT before the middle of next month - but fortunately they’ve let me postpone the 4th (major) service which is also due.

My biggest fear is that since they have put other people in their place (because of COVID regulations) that QA won't be what it should be !
If that proves to be the case we are in for some nasty surprises.
Not only will these car be early production vehicles, but if the above holds true I fear for the worst !
To me I would much rather wait for 2022 or beyond than get a ... lemon for sure !
Personally I regret my decision to pre-order the QQ ... but will have to live with whatever surfaces I guess

Hopefully the wait will be worth it and we won’t have anything to worry about!

Sandgrounder, I got an official Nissan quotation on the 22.07. then discussed this a week later and was told delivery would be Dec 21 if ordered then, but do not forget this is for Germany. I am in no hurry our J11B is still great, next is a Tekna + Test Drive and then I will chew things over whether to Buy or Wait for the more expected positive feedback - Dave

Visited the showroom today to make sure there’s enough headroom in the Tekna with the electric seats and panoramic roof and there is. I’m 6'2"-ish and loads of room with my seating position.
Had another test drive in the manual again - 6 miles, hilly conditions, winding roads. Tried the Sport mode for the first 3 miles and Eco on the return journey. Journey mpg was 49.7 which I thought was really impressive. There was no lag or hesitancy at all during acceleration and it is so quiet when driving.
First picture shows the HUD.

The Tekna+ had Michelin tyres and someone has already christened the alloys
