>The Leaf is even mostly aimed at fleet mileage scoring.

So it's your contention that 95% of HackerNews can see the future of EVs, but all the major manufacturers have and/or are going to miss it?

Shaky bull thesis, my friend.

The range on the Leaf so far has not been especially good, limiting the market for it. The fleet bonus is not imaginary:

My "vision" for the future of EVs is that increasing range and decreasing prices will drive adoption. With sales of the Leaf totaling about 2 weeks of US auto sales, it is risky to expect it to represent Nissan's strategy.
