why would a leaf model costing $5000 less have anything to do with Tesla's semi trucks?

Well obviously it's because not all screwdrivers work with all screws but a boat will float whether it's raining or not.
Even worse, Toyota's Corolla starts at more than $10,000 lower than that!

We really need a roll your eyes added to the like/dislike/funny rating bar.
The Nissan Leaf has always been cheaper with less range and power than a Tesla. 2018 changes nothing except that the price gap is getting smaller, and the range gap is getting larger. The top Tesla is about 200 miles more range now.
For 2018 it appears the electric motor in the Leaf is finally going to catch up with the 2011 Volt's electric motor. Gotta say, not blowing wind up my skirt. The Bolt EV might be more money than the Leaf, but it has 100 miles more range, and 50 more HP. The Tesla M3-220 will have 80 miles of range but over 100 more HP.

My guess here is the OP was trying to suggest that Tesla should be using that investment in autonomous semi's to further lower the price of the Model 3??? If so, that's so incredibly short sighted it's scary... IF Tesla is able to develop an autonomous semi that's worth BILLIONS by itself once you look at world wide trucking traffic...

Just an observation: Every one of the OP's posts on TMC to date is basically a lead-in to a linked alphastreet article. Can we say "clickbait"?
Exactly. Just someone trying to drive traffic to their article. Don't take the bait...
Oh, you're paying way too much for tricycles, who's your tricycle guy?

Here's the crazy thing about how poorly non-Tesla EVs like the Leaf are doing in comparison to Tesla:
They sell fewer Leafs (Leaves?) in the US than Tesla sells $80k-base-MSRP-and-option-heavy luxury crossovers. To me that graph really drives home how much everyone else is going to be crushed by the M3.
Yes. And given that that site's name is a combination of two other financial sites' names I presume that it's a junk site. (I"m not going to read it.)
I reported the post. Hopefully a mod can delete all of their threads and ban the user.
Maybe Tesla should have never even looked at the consumer car market. I would argue a autonomous semi would make all the other things (cars) look like child's play.
Then we all would not have this forum or our cars, but Waiting4m3's 2nd cousin's roommate would have still lost at pool in Alabama.
