Most of what I've seen was from looking at the cheapest Leafs around and a good chunk seemed to be down a bar or two. Granted, they were the older and cheaper cars, but we'll see how the lizard batteries are doing in a couple more years. I hope they can make do without liquid cooling, but I doubt the other manufacturers are taking the time and effort to liquid cool their batteries without good reason.

The 2018 looks much better than the original. I wonder how much better sales of the first gen would have been if it didn't look so weird. Nice that they could improve aero as well.
