I just specced a mid level prius prime without the tech package. Toyota wants 4.49% to finance 72 mth and the payments are $616 a mth.
Tesla quoted me 2.4% for 96mth at around $562 a month. Yes it is longer and more money but you can drive tesla for less than the price of a leaf. And given the current interest rate and investment environment I rather finance at as low rate as possible and keep cash to invest.

What's the reliability and parts availability for the Nissan like? The extra $18/mo might be worth it to not have a huge wait for parts should you need them.

They probably make more sense now than they will later. I'm waiting to see when EV running costs start to go up. Eventually the cost of electricity will go up when the grid can't keep up, and at some point EV's are going to have to start chipping in for the stuff currently covered by the $0.24-36/L in taxes on gas.
