Might I add that while the Nissan is cheaper up front than the Tesla, it still isn't an economy car. It takes a lot of things to make a good selling car.
Look at the Ford Model T. It was much cheaper than competitors (as much as one tenth the price). It had greater range and better efficiency (than steam) at that time.
Then the Volkswagen Type 1, the worlds most sold car on a single platform. Price was "the price of a used car." Yet it needed less maintenance and was more reliable than other cars at the time it launched. It also got stellar fuel mileage for it's era.
Then came the Toyota Camry, the worlds most sold car on various platforms. Though not the cheapest car, it is very cheap. Hailed as one of the most reliable cars in the world to this very day.
Those are qualities I want in an EV, be it a Leaf, Model 3, Bolt or whatever. Reliability, longevity and economy. Not lots of money so I can pay more money in the future.
What can I say! I'm frugal!
