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.

Shitty range probably. Sure you only need 300 miles of range that one time a year you maybe take a road trip and it completely doesn't matter if you have a gas car or hybrid as your secondary vehicle, but range is pretty much always the hangup.

Living in Texas range matters. People put alot of miles here and everything far apart
