Just anecdotal: I rarely see the Nissan Leaf but Teslas are everywhere. I think it's a matter of range when you include air conditioning and traffic: you can't venture our in a Leaf with less than a full charge.
- julienchastang 10y agoI live in Boulder, CO USA where Nissan Leafs are a dime a dozen. I own one and love it. It is perfect for around town driving which is about 80% of our driving.
- technofiend 10y agoAh, I live in an area of Houston that's being gentrified. Houses are torn down and condos or townhomes replace them that each cost more than the lot and developers stack as many on the lot as they can. (I moved here 15 years ago when it was still cheap). I assume my neighbors are able to afford Teslas to go with their $800k condos and that's why I don't see many Leafs.
- jacquesm 10y agoA much simpler explanation is that Teslas really stand out due to their design whereas the Leaf is just another 13 in a dozen type car.
- technofiend 10y agoI would love some real data but a quick Google search didn't reveal a way to get motor registration in Harris County, TX.
- ansible 10y agoIn my case, I am familiar with the design of all three, and they are all distinct to me. I do notice than all separately.
