The problem is that not all cars correctly illuminate the brake lights when regenerative braking is in effect.

same problem on my manual transmission (and there aren't many of those left in north america)

I doubt that this is really the case (brake lights will be connected to brake pedal, regardless of mode).

For motorcycles (not using regenerative braking, but engine braking which is quite effective there) this however is a problem. Every once in a while I woke a sleepy tailgater with that. Fortunately all sleepy tailgaters did wake up in time.

This is why Tesla’s are best selling EVs. Only cynics and idiots buy anything else. Either way I am deeply sorry for them.

Thanks for your deep sorrow for this idiotic cynical nissan leaf owner. Love you too

Leaf would've been decent if not battery health issue and crazy charging port. Cleary Nissan doesn't want it so succeed. I nearly bought one as my spare EV for short trips nearby (they can be had for 1.5k NZD here). But minivan is just more useful for short trips, and doesn't break a bank either.

Same here. To be fair, we do have to put up with charging compatibility shenanigans. But that aside, I love this thing.
