The 2018 Leaf doesn't look Dorky. People who buy cars based on appearance primarily are less likely to buy an EV anyway.

FWIW, AFAIK, unlike the S and X, you cannot lease the 3 yet. You might be able to lease a 3 thru a 3rd party.powersurge said:RonDawg said:There's gotta be a reason why Tesla's Model 3 is outselling the Bolt despite availability issues and (at the moment) a much higher sticker price.
It does not matter how well Tesla is selling because that car is in an other universe... It is like European luxury cars. Those are cars that you LEASE and DO NOT OWN.

I don't see this. BEVs:
LEAF sales in September were the second highest month for this year, only May is higher.
Bolt sales in September were the second highest month for this year, only March is higher.
Model S and Model X are both records in September.
You got us therecwerdna said:So, Model 3 coming out of nowhere w/a very rocky production start last year is now outselling Leaf and Bolt each by about 10:1 in the US. That seems like decimation to me.
Started with the Roman army. After poor performance in battle one in ten would be killed as punishment. Model 3 estimated sales last month was 14 times Bolt.Dooglas said:You got us therecwerdna said:So, Model 3 coming out of nowhere w/a very rocky production start last year is now outselling Leaf and Bolt each by about 10:1 in the US. That seems like decimation to me.. That seems like fairly close to the original definition of decimation.
If the other EV options don't improve their offerings quickly, Tesla is going to eat everyone's lunch. And that will be especially true once they get around to selling cars in the $30k range and resoundingly so once they get a model under $30k

Tesla has a pretty good formula. Hopefully they can soon get their products into the under $30k bracket as that is what the country needs to really get widespread adoption.

DeeAgeaux said:All automakers that sell vehicles in the USA have agreed to make AEB standard on all USA cars by 2022.
Any new $35k vehicle hitting the market in 2019 or later will have AEB.
LeftieBiker said:As I understand it, AEB works at lower speeds only - 20MPH or less, IIRC.
