Finally! After another hour on the phone with the examiner's office yesterday, I was assured that my case was, in fact, closed on August 28. I called because I received a letter stating that they were reviewing my case and would contact me by Nov 5(!) to update me on the status. The examiner's...

I'm dealing with the same woman at the Fresno examiner's office. I had to fax the contract 4 times. Then, they still couldn't get the system to recognize the VIN. Then they had me send the registration. Now, the advocate states that my case has been cleared and I should get my whole refund...

I recommend that you contact your region's IRS taxpayer advocate if you are still in limbo. The Fresno office managed to get the IRS to respond (I called the IRS every 2 weeks starting in June and finally someone transferred me to the advocate's office). I think because I mentioned the 8936...

I'm in the same situation in Bellevue, WA. I filed in mid-April and just now received a letter from the IRS. The IRS deposited ~30% of my return and shuffled me off to limbo land stating that I would hear from them within 30 days and once I had submitted the information they needed, it would...

These seat covers look pretty nice. You need to proceed to Step 3 to see examples (use the google translate link and pick Nissan and Leaf and keep going). There are some fairly bad translations, but you get the general idea (check out the explanations about the ventilation punches made in the...

I came close on Saturday. I made it to my freeway exit with a range of 18 miles and 3 bars showing. Normally, due to the climb from my exit to my house, my range decreases about 16 miles over the 2.5 mile distance and I lose between 1 and 2 bars. I drove a bit more slowly (~25 instead of 40...

I picked mine up last night at Younker Nissan. Everything was great. I was there for about 2 hours max. They were excited and had lots of questions for me about my experience with the EV project. They already had the sales tax issue handled. I bought rather than leasing. Very happy with the...

Just got the word that mine arrived at Younker! Picking it up tomorrow.

My dashboard changed to the week of January 27th today. I've been "pending" for awhile after initially having Jan 11 and week of January 19th. The whole dashboard was available again, though it doesn't show the checkmark for my EVSE being installed...

He looks pretty happy with his new LEAF. Congrats to Jon. Found the link on twitter. http://jhoekstra.posterous.com/our-leaf-is-here

My quote from Safeco was $365 every 6 mo with 250/500/100 limits and a multi-car, multi-policy discount. It drops my 8 yo SUV to ~$340 from $358. They initially were resistant to quote me due to their computer not having the Leaf in the system at this point, but after he had a chance to talk...

Just had my ClipperCreek temporary charger installed by Evergreen Power Systems. They did a great job. They showed up on time, put the charger exactly where I wanted it, and did a great cleanup afterward. They said this was their first installation for the EV project. Their total time on site...

After having access to Carwings last night and getting a VIN, my dashboard went from January delivery to pending this morning, too. Hmmm... maybe a system update going on?

Just to add to the confusion, I gained Carwings access tonight and my VIN is JN1AZ0CPXBT0002XX Note the X in place of the 7 everyone else has posted

Just set up my installation on 12/9 as well. Same story as the above! It will be a temporary unit until the blink comes through. -------------- lkmtleaf Reserved on 4/20 Ordered Blue Ocean SL-e: 8/31 @ 10am and accepted at 9 PM Dealer: Younker Nissan Estimated Delivery: month of January...
