I think your point is clear, Willie2. You had a bad experience with
Nissan and will never trust them again. That's understandable. So far
you're happy with your Tesla, which is also understandable, especially
given your range needs.
I'm glad you found a better car for your purposes, and thanks for being
an early adopter of new technology despite the risks.
Even though it may not matter to you, it's worth noting generally that
Nissan's product has improved since your experience. For that matter,
Tesla's product has also improved over time.
Cheers,
-Jamie

Willie2, it sounds like the Model S is a great fit for your needs. If
70% of the initial LEAF range meant it "lost nearly all its utility"
then you were really on the edge with that car. Given the battery
improvements since then, I would expect that 2013+ LEAF packs will
generally hold up longer than what you experienced. Time will tell.
Maybe I failed to make my point. At this point, I don't care if/when
Nissan can make a reliable battery. I now know that their warranty is
worthless and they have lost me as a customer and potential customer. A
potentially troublesome battery is not a deal breaker. IF the maker is
honorable and can be relied on to fulfil his obligations. Nissan can not.
