Range, charging speed, TMS.
Now if only they roll out a van or a pickup.
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'll admit the Leaf isn't as attractive, but the hatchback gives it a lot more utility. If the 2019 is all the article says it is, it will be a tough choice. Dollar for Dollar, the T3 is probably still a better choice because of the charging network. That could change by next year though.DNAinaGoodWay wrote:By next year, Leaf will be pretty close to the 3.

Electek seems to be misinterpreting its source, which is this article:DNAinaGoodWay wrote:By next year, Leaf will be pretty close to the 3.

I know a lot of people are criticizing Tesla for not meeting their production goals, but:DaveinOlyWA wrote:Is this just ANOTHER example of Musk giving us what we need instead of what we want?
Yes, I think I would. Its the same story with all new, expensive technology. I'm getting so tired of the anti-Tesla arguement that "its a rich man's toy". Cars 100 years ago were a rich man's toy, but if no one steps up and buys them, the necessary quantity would never be produced to bring the price down to where today anyone can afford a car. What if no one bought the first color TV sets? The first IBM computers? VCR's? If people like me that have the disposable income don't step up and buy a Tesla, they would never become mainstream in my lifetime, IMO. And, its not just for the "green factor". The cars are just so much better to drive in so many ways, and being able to cleanly refuel every day in my own garage, from my own solar, is a nice bonus. (Knowing that I'm not choking the people behind me in a cloud of diesel suet gives me a clearer conscience too. Florida has no emissions testing, which is quite evident by the number of gross poluters in my county. Aren't they teaching the kids anything about cleaning up the environment in school anymore? Sorry for the OT rant.)would you buy the Model 3 if the tax credit wasn't still available?

The heat in Miami is going to hammer a 2018 non-TMS battery. I would just keep the Leaf you have now, and upgrade it later when/if necessary. This is especially true if Route 95 is most of your commute, where the high speeds will heat up the battery even more. FYI: People in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale have to be NASCAR certified.Jedlacks wrote: I drive 26 miles to work in Atlanta, but I'll be moving to Miami in 3 months, where my one way jumps to 37. However, there is free L2 at the new office covered parking deck.

The slide was the same one shown and a pic taken of at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... ater&ifg=1. I was at the same EVent (at Nissan's Sunnyvale research office) as the person (Steve) who posted that pic. The slide was put up by Brian, a Nissan North America marketing guy who flew in from NNA HQ in TN.edatoakrun wrote: https://pushevs.com/2017/12/29/nissan-s ... mpetition/
The slide is claimed to be from Nissan, and certainly looks plausible.
