In fact, so much fun they put one up against a 2012 911 2012 Nissan Leaf vs. 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S - CAR and DRIVER - YouTube
Tesla has plans to go toe to toe with the Leaf with a Sub 40k car...two years away.
Haven't any of you people heard of recycling? Those batteries aren't going into landfills - but if they did, they aren't toxic (like the millions of lead based batteries that do go to landfills). Several companies specializing in lithiom batteries recycling are waiting for the batteries - the cost of recycling the metals in those batteries is cleaner and cheaper than mining for new metals. |
lol, Leaf against a 911, lol. That was funny. In stock form the Leaf (as the video said) is like driving a microwave.
I don't think the guy in the vid had any fun driving the Leaf until they stuck the race tires on it and that takes away what the car is meant to be, a daily driver.
I'll stick with my Boxster, thank you.
