I pointed this out somewhere else, but Leaf vs. Tesla vs. Niro, etc, debate seems to focus on battery and cooling, but there ARE other factors to weigh.
What type of vehicle do you want? If you want a sedan, the model 3 is probably the best EV at the price you can get your hands on.
But maybe you don't want a sedan, maybe you want a crossover? Or maybe you like the hatchback?
You need to make sure the car will work for you. I got a Leaf 40 KWhr version and I'm in a VERY hot climate. I know what that means.
But the price was SO good, and I don't need to full range (or even close), I went for it. I have nothing to loose. But if the car will work for you and you understand limitations, then there are things that matter other than the brand name. My wife loves the hatchback design. I do NOT like the model 3 interior design - I just don't like it. I love the model X, but I don't have that kind of money. Weigh all the factors.
As I think powersurge said, if it fits your needs and the guidelines he laid out, then it might be a great car for you.
