NISSAN for the last few years the company is having an "Internal Battle of Control" the boardroom battles included the Electric Car, Expansions, The alliance, and more. Some high level leaders of the #3 car company in Japan started "internal alliances" Some board members were playing "games" kind of like the TV show Survivor...I had a front row seat at this "cross cultural auto war" I saw a LOT of bad spending at NISSAN and they were wasting American taxpayer money and that bothered me so I found out WHY.

Nissan has received substantial government aid in the United States over the past few years. Tennessee gave Nissan incentives worth $197 million to shift its U.S. headquarters from California in 2005, a contentious move among Nissan employees. Bovat contends while 21% of Nissan's managers were women in California, the share had fallen to 10% in 2009 following the move to Tennessee.

Nissan also won a $1.6 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to build Leaf electric vehicles and batteries in Tennessee, along with a $99.8 million grant to pay for 2,500 charging stations in five states. Bovat contends some Nissan employees were attempting to set the Leaf up to fail before Tavares stepped in. (then Tavares left and the car is a BUST)

In July, Bovat was arrested in the lobby of Nissan's U.S. headquarters in Franklin, Tenn., and charged with trespassing. Prosecutors later charged her with "phone harassment" for texting Tavares shortly after her arrest. That charge was later dismissed, but she faces a trial on the trespassing case. Then they had the Grand Jury “re issue” the texting charge again as a CLASS A misdemeanor that would jail me a year. That charge was dropped a 2^nd time in February 2012.
