The Tesla is way superior to any other electric car on the road

Tesla has to get them on the road before an accurate comparison can be made to Leafs and Bolts.

They are on the road, just not very many of them. The 2018 Leaf, which I was talking about, does not come to the US until January (or may? Nissan is just saying "early 2018" now).

The 2017 Leaf has a range of 107 miles, for $287/mile. It's also 110 hp. Both the Bolt and the Leaf are crap cars. Tesla could raise the price on the model 3 by 10 grand and it would still be a better value.
