As to used Leafi, there are more than just a handful on the Phoenix craigslist and listed at Phoenix dealer sites around the $10k mark, but they have on average 30,000 miles or so. I saw one at $8,500 or so with 41k miles. Lease returns I imagine. Prices and mileage are probably typical of markets ...
There is only one guy who can fix the stock electronics, I would recommend tossing the stock bms, charger and motor controller. Next if memory serves that is a rare HV SEPEX motor not Ac. (And yes I have thought of buying a nife powered tevvan too but the things usually need the stock control boards...
Not according to their website: Our most affordable car yet, Model 3 achieves 215 miles of range per charge while starting at only $35,000 before incentives. The uncertainty with the Model 3 is if it will qualify for the full Federal EV incentive, as Tesla is closing in on the 200,000 vehicle thres...

Does this mean by adding a 40Ah standard lead acid car battery in parallel with the stock 12V i-miEV battery that range will be extended by 1/2 kWh (12V X 40 Ah = 0.5 kWh) or 0.5/16 or 3%=1.8 miles? No, there are multiple problems with that... There is something called a 14v 7 cell lead acid batter...
^ yup... that's true they could sling most of the electrics and specify what works for a USDM... It's about time that all of us used the same technology... but that would require the US to go to 240v ac... which would cost a bomb, but it would be really useful for the future. Since we are split pha...
