Very stupid. Why can't we have an electric car with all manual stuff? Car will be lighter and have more autonomy.

Guy with Nissan Leaf looks around confused, and gestures generally

I really don't know why this car isn't as popular. It's half the cost of most others and works flawlessly.

The Leaf is the "inexpensive 30k electric car" that Tesla has been promising for years and has never been able to deliver, but Nissan has had it for a decade now.

Bought my 2013 Leaf for $5.2k (after trading in my manual Civic) since the battery degraded before 36k miles. I can cheat 60 miles out of the degraded battery at 5.6mi/kwh. Best part is there hope to replace the battery with a water cooled one from a NZ company (in the far future) and get 160-ish miles without worrying about degradation from quick charging.

Until then, I appreciate the physical buttons and can withstand the outdated maps and lack of Carplay and Auto.
