Ah, I get it now. So a Leaf would need to be cheaper and have more range, while a Tesla would need to be a fraction of the current price and yet retain the current performance, for you (or me, for that matter) to buy one.Yes Brian.!
Note the question.." How far would these changes have to go for YOU to buy a Leaf"...
Agreed, but this is not a unique feature of the Leaf - it is the current trend in automotive styling, especially at Nissan.Unfortunately, I found the styling worse in real life than in pics. it's still a real mess, just isn't a coherent design, it looks awkward from any angle.![]()

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the required value improvement. Modern electric cars (high voltage AC motors, large lithium batteries) have been in production for several years, with some performance improvement but no substantial price reduction.
