Tesla is absolutely a premium brand, the cheapest vehicle Tesla offers is a base model 3 for $42,000. Where as a Nissan leaf starts at $28,000. Nissan actually understands how to build a widely affordable consumer model. Tesla only knows how to build “premium” vehicles with poor build quality and an autopilot that can’t stop running into fire trucks.
- fallingknife 4y agoIf Nissan is so much better at building a widely affordable consumer model, why are they outsold massively by Tesla?
- beambot 4y agoWe own a Model3 (me) and a Leaf (wife). My wife bought the Leaf more recently; she always defaults to the M3 when given the option. In short, Leaf:Flip-Phone and Tesla:Smartphone. The only saving grace for the Leaf is price. We should've bought a ModelY instead of the Leaf.
- tzs 4y agoDoesn't Leaf have some issues due to poor battery cooling? Maybe a better choice for an example of a less expensive EV would be a Chevy Bolt. MSRP $26500 for the EV 1LT model (259 mile range) or $27800 for the EUV LT model (247 mile range). ($17700 and $19000 respectively after incentives).
