    It isn’t just about price or being an EV or the Leaf would be the best selling car in the world. People also want a car that isn’t a piece of junk with low resale value, is cramped, or has bad styling. These are big purchases and a lot more thought goes into buying them than two simple checkboxes.

      You can’t have inexpensive and all the features you’re asking for though. It’s just not realistic.

        I don’t want all the features I just want an EV with 300 miles of range, liquid cooling, and 20 minute charging… Automakers can shove their fancy computerized BS

          I feel the same way about feature bloat on pickup trucks. I don’t need a tailgate that opens and closes itself, but it’s a mandatory add-on if you want to buy the extended battery for any F-150 lightning. Trucks are meant for work, not loading them up with luxury bullshit.

        I have an opel and a merc and I prefer the opel. It has all the same features for less than half the price. It isnt impossible.
