"Tiny supply, huge markup" is what I heard when I went looking last month: https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32798&start=20#p613903

I guess it's down to the Leaf at this point.
And TBH, it is a selling point for me due to it's simplicity, it's sort of like when one of the few air-cooled cars you could buy was a Porsche.
I really don't need a Plus but with used prices the way they are here, the costs to upgrade from my 2017 S to a 2023 SV is ridiculously low. If I could find an SV in a color/configuration I liked for MSRP I'd probably buy one. Right now the biggest thing stopping me is the hassle factor.
goldbrick said:Used Leaf prices just keep climbing up here. It's hard to tell if they really sell for that price but on CL lately, I've seen 2015 Leafs advertised for $18 and 2017 models listed for over $20k. A user here recently had a 2017 model bought by Carvana for $19k. If I could get that and find a 2023 at MSRP, I'd probably do it. As you said, even if I don't need the range every day or even every week, there is always a time when you're low and charge and want to do a last minute trip. More range is certainly better.
