I’m still driving 2019 Std Rng Plus Model 3. Traded in 2017 Toyota Prius Prime. Also have 2014 BMW i3 REx which wife drives. Bob Wilson
You missed a category - non-Tesla EV to non-Tesla EV. I recently switched from a Leaf to a Tesla Y, but I was considering switching to a Mach e and wouldn't have had a category to vote in.
I have to wait until June 2023 for my current ICE lease to come due. It will also give me time to save $ for down payment.
I am in the "same EV make and model" category. I switched my 2018 built Kona EV to a 2021 model last October (after the news of the Korean class action suit was released, I was a bit nervous) did pretty well and am happy with my decision: https://insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/post-pics-of-your-kona.6276/page-6#post-113151 Actually a 2 time member of this category (do I get to vote twice?) as I replaced my 2013 Leaf SL for a 2016 Leaf SL to acquire more range.
I had briefly thought about this but figured adding comments like yours would provide details needed. I appreciate your posting. Bob Wilson
2015 Leaf S, 6 months layer 2015 Leaf SV (due to family member's accident --thank you vehicle replacement insurance). Wife bought 2016 Leaf SV (lives and works on the opposite coast). Waited for the release of 2018 Leaf SV to replace 2015 Leaf SV for additional range -had hoped that battery would be 60kWh with thermal management, but settled for 40kWh. Basically very happy with car apart from limited range and battery heating from multiple fast charging on road trips). Have been hanging out for Ariya but my loyalty to Nissan is slipping away as launch is delayed and there are now so many other EV's to chose from (Kyle and Tom were right in Episode #39 of the Inside EVS podcast --the Ariya should have been out by now).
Hate to see a wasted category: https://www.speakev.com/threads/coming-back-to-the-kona-clan-kona-to-tesla-to-kona.156889/#post-2967057
Not even tempted as our 2019 Std Rng Plus Model 3 fully meets our requirements with reliable, fast DC charging. Recent reports from Fast Lane Cars and Inside EV reviewers continue to show USA fast DC charging to be unreliable often having to try different chargers before one works. We experienced this with our 2014 BMW i3-REx. In contrast, Superchargers are reliable and seamless with our Tesla. Then there is the relatively inefficient kWh per 100 miles of CCS-1 EVs which forces more frequent fast DC charging on trips. Bob Wilson
