That's 4 times the number of Model S on the road, if anyone was curious.

  ...worth noting that Nissan had a 2 year lead on deliveries.

  Gasp, a car that's been on the market for almost twice as long and costs less than half as much sold more, how crazy is that? Still, I actually test drove a Leaf a while back, nifty car, and I applaud Nissan for doing what they are doing. Amongst the snooze fest that is the Japanese auto industry these days, Nissan definitely has some of the most interesting line ups, from affordable, super car performance (GT-R) to pure electric city commuter (Leaf).

    The GT-R isn't really an affordable supercar any more, but now even the base model is well over $100k with tax.

  That they have sold so many is a good thing. Unlike Tesla, they don't have the advantage of selling into a market where people have a large amount of disposable income. I would say that when cars like the Leaf, the sub 100 mile range club, get under twenty thousand after the government rebate then sales should really take off. I have no problem subsidizing the purchase of a reasonably priced electric like the Leaf or even as a stretch the i3 but once you pass into luxury pricing those people don't need the payout from the public

    They are selling to people with disposable income though, pretty much by definition. People buying the Leaf are buying a new car that only does one thing better than new vehicles $15,000-20,000 cheaper.
