A good chunk of that reason could simply be numbers. Tesla sold over 5m vehicles, but Leaf was only at 600k in early 2022 (not sure how many have been made since then).
Edit: Got a closer data point for Tesla, they were at 2.3m at the end of 2021.
Honestly, I know it's not a popular thing to say here, but I would be tempted to buy a Tesla if it wasn't for how shitty they are of a product.
I hate Musk and his fascist shit, but then again I don't know if any car manufacturers are any "good" politically. It's a nice looking electric car and aren't exorbitantly expensive. I also hate that they don't have anything physical in the car other than a tablet though, and they can be remotely controlled by Tesla. I'm just trying to do something electric but I just wish there were Chinese EVs available, I would just happily go with one of those!
Yeah... I could probably deal with it if they spontaneously combusted but that is probably the biggest dealbreaker for me, given what I may be talking about or listening to in the car.
