>Why is this? Because of the battery chemistry and drivetrain work that tesla has done which is leagues ahead of anyone. I doubt that. It's much more likely because something like the Leaf is nearly half the cost of a Tesla model S and are made at a profit. At one point Tesla had a big lead, but Nissan has been making hte Leaf for nearly a decade now. It's unlikely that any significant gap is there because of technology reasons.
