Well, that's why Teslas are selling in greater numbers.
The top reasons I see for people that chose a Bolt over a Model 3:
Can't afford a Model 3
Couldn't get a Model 3 when they were shopping for a car
Concerns of most functions being integrated into the display rather than dedicated switches
Prefer hatchback to sedan
No nearby service centers
Concerns about fit and finish
Concerns about availability of parts
Don't like the image Tesla projects
The Leaf will have a price advantage over Tesla and Chevy beginning in April. I expect sales to increase then, unless Nissan is limiting the numbers via pricing.
You can pick up a new Bolt for about $22,000 after federal credit, and perhaps less if you add state. If you happen to get a $36,500 (delivery fee) Tesla, it will cost $32,750 after $3,750 after federal credit. That's ten grand more than a Bolt.
