You are all the Benjamin Buttons of car purchasing. You started old and got younger.

3 year lease on Leaf expired so bought SR+. Unlike 99% here, I regret buying two SR+ for wife and I. If I could change back to a new Leaf lease I would do it in a heart beat.

My wife misses her Leaf. We sold it when we got the Model 3 Performance. She points them out to me while we are driving. She likes the smaller size and the height of the Leaf better....

The only two cons I had with my Leaf was:
1. Butt ugly on the exterior, mostly with the bug eyes headlights (this has changed a couple years ago)
2. Battery storage small (again this has now changed).
I had a total of 6 years diving them (two different 3 year leases with zero down and $210/month). What I appreciated with both cars was there was zero issues with them the entire time. Literally plug and play, which is more of my personal preference (too old to be doing any work on them myself).
I can't begin to list all the quality issues we have had in the last 1 to 2 months with both SR+ we purchased. Every night I hate coming home because my wife will tell me some new issue with her car. We both have owned various cars over the last 40+ years and never have we experienced so many issues that need to be fixed with a brand new car.

I agree, same with us also. Other than the battery degradation, our 2012 Leaf was trouble fee. Nissan didn't even charge us for tire rotations during the 6 years of ownership. Fit and finish was also excellent and much better than our Model 3...
We have a 2010 Ford Fusion that I used to use to commute... I got a P3D- and my kids will use the Fusion since they are starting drivers.
We also have a 2016 Kia Sorrento. (Which is quieter, and the automatic cruise control is a little more predictable... but I would still rather drive the Tesla on any long trips when we don't need lots of space

)Had been carless for 11 years since my last high school hooptie '98 Chevy Cavalier before picking up my M3 LR RWD.
After moving to Seattle, it's lackluster public transportation finally convinced me i needed a car and I couldn't bring myself to buy an ICE after going w/o a car for so long. The only EV that fit my lifestyle going out to the mountains often was a Tesla.
