I could care less about any of those EVs. I want a Slate. I want a pickup that changes to an SUV and so on. I would've bought one if it was an ICE vehicle also. Electric is a bonus for me. As long as it stays decently priced. I'm getting one.

The California market is going to eat this car up like it always does when it comes to new cars.

Same here. I like what the Slate is about and is offering. Don’t want or need another sedan or suv but need a small truck to get some tbh wings done.

Can the new Leaf tow? I need something that can tow.

The cheaper Leaf was announced as arriving in 6 month or so. Like most OEMs, they led with a higher trim.

The FWD version of the Ariya is not rated to tow. I would assume the new Leaf is also not rated to tow as it only has a FWD configuration. Certainly the outgoing Leaf is not rated to tow either.

The difference is this 25,360 price is supposed to be for the S model, not the S+. Nothing official out from Nissan on it yet though, and the price is coming from some "order guide data"

And according to Nissans website it’s 30k

That's for the S+ trim. The S trim hasn't been added to their website yet. The $25,360 price comes from the 2026 order guide data book. When they announced the $29,990 price for the S+ trim, they said the S would be coming after launch of the S+ with a smaller battery, and a lower price.

I predict we'll see lots of Leafs in the coming years, and that's a good thing. Slate does not need other BEVs to be flops for Slate to succeed. Slate just has to deliver a vehicle that appeals to 100,000 people a year (or so). We should all be cheering for the Leaf to be wildly successful. And Rivian. And all the others. The more at the BEV party, the better the party.

One thing about Nissan dealers is that they deal - a lot. So the Leaf price will, after an initial rush of early adopters - be less than the MSRP. I'm basing that purely on personal history with Nissan. They have always thrown huge discounts on the hoods.

I hope buyers of the new Leaf don’t have to wait a year after buying it for Nissan to have a software update to make Apple CarPlay work.

Slate already solved that problem- don't include it!

(Obvious sarcasm)

I really hope the $25K Leaf lights a fire under Slate. If their whole shtick is “cheap”, it’s hard to compete with that Leaf, if the pickup form factor is negotiable. (Big if)

100%. In my opinion, Slate drew a large chunk of people who wanted a cheap EV to pop around in. Some need the form factor of the Slate, but most do not.

For that buyer, it is hard to argue the Slate is a better option, assuming equal price.

My interest in the Slate lies 100% in that it is a pick-up. I think even the people that don’t value the pick-up form factor or 2 door SUV will be drawn to the Slate for the coolness factor. The same factor that draws people to Jeeps that don’t need 4WD. With the tax credit, Nissan Leaf’s have been available for a mid-twenties price tag and sales didn’t really go anywhere. The Nissan Leaf is essentially a transportation appliance. I bought mine because it was cheap, I have free charging at work and Carvana wanted my Colorado way more than I did. In Q4, Tesla will release a cheaper stripped down Model Y that will kill this new Nissan Leaf. The Slate will have its piece of the pie with or without the success of Nissan Leaf and other EV appliances. No offense to anyone that love’s Nissan Leafs, I’ll give you a good deal on one when I get my Slate.

The old Leaf was not very competitive, and the fact that this one comes out cheaper with better specs makes it compelling, at least from my perspective.

I believe I read the the cheaper leaf would be a limited release with way less bells and whistles. That being said I do like the look of the new Leaf and would consider the Leaf if it was a truck as I don’t need another car.
