unresearched question - sorry
I know a little about the Leaf, a good little, but nothing about the Tesla.
But, focusing on the range issue only.
Why is the Tesla about 3 times better? How can it be this much better? This seems like too much to me.
And I'm using ~ 100 for leaf and ~ 300 for the Tesla. (miles or whatever)
What I want to know is a hierarchy of the reasons why the tesla gets its range over the leaf.
Is it the battery? The programming? The engineering? The approach?
What? and Whatever?
Why is the Tesla range so much better?
Thanks as always.
It just seems like the race 'ought' to be closer and it concerns me. It makes me fear that the Leaf people have made a mistake somewhere. I know money is a factor. But still. I don't like the looks of the Tesla at all. I think the Leaf is more appropriate looking and somehow better looking. I don't think a first generation electric road vehicle should be in any way, or much of a way, sporty or sports-car-like. That just seems dishonest to me. But there are no shortage of people living in a multiverse of dream-worlds, I guess.
