I'm a Tesla Model 3 reservation holder but live in Canada so my delivery estimate won't be until late 2018 and so I will have a chance to comparison shop the all new Leaf and other BEVs coming to market.
I just realized that my main concerns with the Model 3 are:
For the current gen Leaf, the lack of active cooling is the main drawback correct? Are there any other major issues current owners have with the Leaf (aside from slight deterioration in driving range)?
The Model 3 looks sporty and fun to drive but the practical side in me thinks I might have to go with a Nissan, Honda, Hyundai/Kia, or even Toyota for our third car, which will most likely be a BEV. We have a Honda and Toyota at the moment and they've been quite trouble-free and we tend to hang on to the cars until repairs become too costly (which hasn't really happened).
I just realized that my main concerns with the Model 3 are:
- lack of Right to Repair / open service manuals and parts
significant cut in warranty on the drive unit and battery
lack of heated steering wheel
dynamic cruise control is part of a $5k USD Premium Package
