I will definitely be putting decent winter tires on (Michelin or Bridgestone).
How good is the current Leaf with good winter tires in snow and ice? I guess the lower HP/torque helps reduce wheel spin and increases traction?
Just trying to be more pragmatic and not think a Model 3 Tesla with AWD is something I would really need.
If there was no appropriate thread, feel free to start a new one.
I would presume that those people who are awaiting details on the Leaf 2.0 and live in geographic areas where they have experienced snowfall and ice in their Leaf 1.0 would be willing to provide more informative posts about winter handling seeing how a lot of threads on this forum are a few months old.
I'm only interested in the Leaf 2.0 and I don't want to start a new thread asking about Leaf 1.0 handling when others, except for yourself, can provide invaluable input, not only to me but to other prospective Leaf 2.0 buyers.
Those same people are able to view other threads. This thread is supposed to be about what is known about the Leaf 2.
I'm not sure why I cannot provide input to your question, given that I live in the snowiest city in the US. That statement seems a little out of place. Feels more like an attack for having suggested you start a new thread and/or revive an older one about snow tires.
As for how the Leaf 2.0, nobody know how well it will handle the snow yet. And besides, you specifically asked about the current Leaf, but now you say you're only interested in the Leaf 2.0.
