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...
The problem is that you cannot get a base Tesla today. You can put down a deposit and get in line but you can't go to the Tesla dealer and drive home a car.

Today I can go to Nissan dealer and bring home a Leaf for $20,000 after tax credits.
