While I agree earlier battery issues and rapidgate deters EV fans I am not sure the average car buyer has heard of these. The plus seems to do OK in successive DC fast charges for me so far BTW so rapidgate may be getting solved by the larger number of cells in the plus battery spreading out heat. An EV fan would like them to cool their batteries properly. What can happen though is a first time EV buyer buys an old leaf not understanding battery health and gets turned off on EVs as a whole because of a bad experience which is unfortunate. I think Doug is right on the price people see the MSRP and compare to the Tesla all the time. The person on the street may not understand there is no Tesla dealer let along a dealer discount and there IS a Nissan dealer discount.
