I don’t think this thread is being very honest in comparing these two cars.
The Model 3 has an MSRP of $35,000. I got my white SV Leaf with everything but the ProPilot stuff for ¥3,554,334 (roughly $33,000). That’s taxes and delivery included. If I were to buy a white Model 3 in my hometown of Denver with no other options it would be 35,000 plus 1,000 for paint, 1,200 for delivery, and roughly 2,500 in taxes for a grand total of $39,700. That’s a pretty big difference.
The Leaf seems to be having delivery issues for some in The States as well, so I won’t make too much of this point, but I think it’s fair to say a Leaf is easier to get in your hands. The Tesla website says 12-18 months estimated delivery on vehicles ordered today.
All of that said... I would absolutely get a Model 3 if it were available and I had that extra bit of cash. In fact, I’m probably going to get a Tesla if they’re still top dog in electrics when I get rid of my Leaf.
