I wouldn't count Nissan as a loser, they are very closely linked to Renault who do have more current EV models. Both typically rebadge each other's vehicles for different markets.

I suspect that Nissan USA management remembers the outcome from the last time a Renault vehicles were imported into the US [0].

Every time I see a Titan ad I wonder if there is a Japanese executive in Nissan cringing.
