When do you think we will see the first vehicles with the BEV platform? Earlier reports said second half of next year at the earliest.

This seems to lend credence to higher trims possibly having a lower EPA range rating.1. Targeted EPA range for Nissan LEAF S PLUS only. Actual range will vary with trim levels, options and driving conditions. See Customer Disclosure Form for details.

2. slightly better range/energy efficiency
Kieran973 said:I've always wondered why the 24 kWh, 30 kWh, and 40 kWh Leafs' EPA ratings make no distinction between the S and the SV/SL trims. Nor do auto journalists seems to bother examining the difference in ride and handling. With 16 inch wheels on the S vs. 17 inch wheels on the SV and SL, shouldn't the S in all Leaf model years have:
1. slightly worse ride and handling
2. slightly better range/energy efficiency
??
I've only ever driven a 40 kWh SV and a 30 kWh SL, so I can't speak from experience about ride and range in the S. Other S owners?

2011RedLeaf said:Part of the reason off road vehicles have tall sideWALLS is that when they bounce over large objects (such as sideWALKS) the rim doesn't get bent. Bent rims give a poor ride. Maybe that is why they are called tall sideWALK tires?
Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of folks lined up (and/or did it online?) to place their $1K "reservation" fee/deposit or whatever on a Model 3 before knowing the price ($35K, still doesn't exist :lol: ) nor even knowing anything about the car (e.g. range, what it'd look like, etc.). This is all before Elon's presentation even started.webeleafowners said:the first three were presold. Which is kind of a surprise as he don’t know what the list price was going to be.
