It wasn't until last year that Tesla Model 3 surpassed the Nissan Leaf to be the best selling electric car. I know the Leaf is not as competitive in some ways, but it's sold in the US for years with plenty of success.
- brianwawok 5y agoVery different cars though. Leaf is a cheap way to go green. Low performance, outdated UI, but pretty cheap. Tesla is going green in style. Minimalism, performance, at a slight premium to ICE. One thing to note is that leaf is one of the WORST vehicles values at % of resale value retained after 3-5 years, while Tesla is one of the best. So the market is very clearly looking for used Tesla over used Leaf.
- gtk40 5y agoNo argument here, but the comment I was responding to said no major brands had an electric car to show, but the best selling electric car for years was by one of the most common household name brands for a car.
- simondotau 5y agoSuccess is relative. Tesla sold more Model 3 in one year (2020) than Nissan sold Leafs in a decade (2010–2020).
