At the time of purchase the Model S didn't exist. When pre-orders were being accepted I looked into putting a deposit down, but the signature editions were already sold out. Didn't feel like waiting for a lower-end model (higher-priced ones being built first), as we'd already been through the waiting game with the Leaf (I pre-ordered one on the first day Nissan took orders).

No matter, we like our Leaf and that gives us some time to see what else Tesla comes up with.

I personally liked the Leaf over the Tesla because of the price tag and availability. The dealer has tons of Leafs. The Tesla has a waiting list. In 2 years, I'll turn my Leaf in for a newer model that hopefully has more range and charges more quickly. I don't even want to think about the resell value of the 2013 EV in 2015 IF the range doubles and charging times get cut in half.
