When we first replaced our LEAF with a Model X, my spouse asked if we could go back to the LEAF. They never warmed up to the Model X, and we ended up trading it for a Volvo PHEV. It took me a while to understand why they didn't like it, but it finally set in with me that not everybody is enamored with how hard the Tesla tries to make everything so different.
The new Leaf has improved in the looks department. The previous version was rather... I don't know what words to use, but "meh" comes to mind.
To be fair, I don't think the Leaf looks bad. The Tesla just looks more like a "conventionally attractive" higher end sedan.
If you accept that the leaf looks like a happy little frog it helps :)
