That may be true, but only because the Tesla Roadster has twice the battery capacity (53 kWh vs Leaf's 24 kWh). The Roadster battery costs about $36,000, which is more than the sticker price of a Leaf. The Roadster is supposed to get 21.7 kWh/100mi, which is about the same as the Leaf (22.5 kWh/100 mi) and the Volt (25 kWh/100 mi). Given the current (im)maturity of the electric car industry, I would say those numbers are too close to differentiate.
