Yeah I've got nothing against the Leaf and it was a great way for Nissan to get a foothold in the market.
But technology wise Tesla is quite a bit ahead. The Leaf originally had abysmal range (better now) and doesn't have the pack longevity due to its passive cooled design. This also limits the amount of power it can produce/consume leading to lower regen efficiency, slower charging, and worse performance.
My comment above was trying to point out that the Kona is a good example of that gap being closed by yet another competitor on the EV scene.
