after dancing with the tesla for awhile I chose a LEAF for the aforementioned reasons, after obtaining the LEAF a Tesla person called me and I informed him that I was no longer interested in the Tesla because I obtained a LEAF, his reaction was great and wise, he was thrilled that I got an EV and said he'd be there when and if I wanted to step up to their vehicle.jackal said:I think this thread should be called "Leaf or Tesla". There is no 'vs' simply because they are so ... different.
It would have been easy to say Tesla wins hands down in specs...if money is no concern. It is sexy and gives excitement to EV.
Leaf on the other hand represents a not-so-flashy economical mass market solution to future transport. I believe that's the reason that so many root for it because of its humble backgrounds.
However, we badly need both audiences and I think we are just so lucky to have these 2 so-different companies committing to EV to break the oil-based transportation landscape.
the point is not which is better, cooler or more costly, the point is that the "big sell" here is getting people to accept the EV concept.
So like the Tesla people I am happy when someone buys into the concept of ditching their ICE vehicle and gets an EV
