You can commute in anything. I guy at my work commutes in an Audi R8. That doesn't mean most people are cross shopping a mid-engined sport car with a Honda Fit.

I still don't see how this helps the Leaf. I see nothing that a Leaf does better than a Model 3, except maybe at price point. But even that is wearing thin.
Bear with me, I do not want to play down any EV. But there's no getting around Tesla putting extraordinarily competitive cars in the market.
It does not make the Leaf bad. I'd rather have a Leaf than any comparable ICEr.
But if I could get a Tesla instead for not too big a premium - well...
