Rubbish. Globally the Leaf was only a year behind Tesla, and Volt a few months later, Leaf in Australia from 2012 ($51,500) while the first Tesla was sold here in 2014 .....
With sales of over 400,000 Leaf is a mass produced car. Prices should be falling, but they aren’t. Sure, specs are improving, but so they have over th3 decade for ICEs, and their prices have fallen.
