Uhhhh Yeah is like not 30k

I mean, they don't need many options... but that the base price before all the reallllllly expensive fees are added.

    Are you searching from somewhere with huge EV taxes or tariffs? Those prices are way above MSRP, and I am searching from USA.

    I know someone who recently bought the new Leaf SV+ and they didn't pay $50k. I just checked Nissan's website and it says the mid-grade (SV+) trim starts at $34230.

    It clearly changes depending on where you are. Point still stands as these are before the fees are added and therefor well above $30K out the door.

    I don't think this is an EV issue, its just a clown world issue with new cars costing more then people can afford in general without going into debt (and many are maxed out on debt as it is).
