Hello and welcome to the Wednesday September 6th 2017 edition of Tesla Daily on

official Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Maower.

Today we are talking about the next generation Nissan Leaf

and a little bit of new information on Model 3 taxes.

Tesla stock yesterday closed down 1.63% to $349.59

That puts the cost per mile of range, as we talked about at $280 per mile, which compares to $159 per mile for the

standard model 3 at $35,000,25,000, $157 per mile of range

for the Chevy Bolt, which is at $37,500 for

238 miles of range.

There were a number of updates. The biggest one would be the range. The new Nissan Leaf will now have a 40 kilowatt hour battery pack, which compares to the current

generation having a 30 kilowatt hour battery pack.
