This is not true, the Leaf was selling in the thousands before Tesla entered the Norwegian market in mid 2013. The Leaf was the best selling car of all new cars in October 2013.
- konschubert 3y agoNobody in this world wants to buy a leaf. (At least not the original model)
- waldothedog 3y agoData point of one but: I did!
- hmottestad 3y agoDid you own another car, or was the Leaf (24 kWh) your only car?
- waldothedog 3y agoOnly car. Was commuting to and from grad school, my folks place, and my apartment. I pushed it pretty far, and was able to access 240 charging in 2/3, and used 120 overnight. Admittedly did not have a kid, and my wife was able to walk everywhere during the weeks. It was a great car tho!
- konschubert 3y agoI might also have bought one if I had been in the market for a car at that time. But not because I would have wanted it, but because I would have needed it :) I think my comment above was indeed a bit snarky and is rightfully getting downvoted.
- fortran77 3y agoIt looked and drove like a golf cart. And the range was too small.
- hmottestad 3y agoMight be true for October, but for the entire year of 2013 it was the third best selling car, behind two petrol cars. https://bilmagasinet.no/bilaret-2013-ble-historisk-godt/ https://bilmagasinet.no/bilaret-2013-ble-historisk-godt/ The Leafs were small and had a very short range. They were no replacement for petrol or diesel cars for families. Unlike Tesla S and X.
