Actually numbers in both the short term and long term mean everything...as long as the dealer does a good job, they will get referrals. Hard to get good word of mouth and many referrals if you don't have any sales. So you need both initial sales, then good customer service and prices, and then...

yep...I would love a Th!nk City or an iMiev...prefer them visually over the LEAF...though the LEAF will be a more complete car....but again I just need a commuter. Sadly, as you said, both will come out later and in much smaller numbers...and again they will likely only be available in...

Congrats everyone...it is fun to see all the great people here getting their orders in Gavin

ouch...tantrums? Me or Nissan :) Anyways, yeah, moving forward with the LEAF...not 100% sure yet...keeping options open... Being actually able to order is a big plus for sure... But it's all good. Last minute change from White to Silver...added the level 3 charger and floor mats and the eco...

Well, no email, but I just went and checked and my dashboard is open... Yea.... Gavin

Thanks all.. All good posts, all good thoughts... :) Dang, you were suppose to make this easier for me... I am just as confused as ever. :) Luckily I have some time to decide. Gavin

Gary...Randy...I agree with both of you....and Thanks :) As for keeping the order and orphaning it if I get the Fiat...I have thought of that...it would be nice to do for a dealer that has been very nice and helpful... At the same time I would probably rather not do that as I would prefer a...

great photos...Thanks... Silver looks good. Gavin

Now if Nissan had made the Altima coupe as their first EV...I wouldn't even think of changing my pre order...that car is sex on wheels. :) Gavin

Thanks Futura...last two sentences are very true...I really don't need the LEAF...Heck I don't need a Fiat either.... :) And evnow...yeah the local dealer could have be the initial problem...kinda short sighted and sad really...he could have had a LEAF in the showroom and gotten pre orders out...

Thanks Jason...great post. Ha...If Mazda made an electric Miata, I might be buying that right now :) Great little car. Good commuter and fun to drive. I figure a Miata with a Th!nk style battery--one big wedge under the seats---well that car would hug the road like all get out... And thanks...

Well as I said, I take a fair amount of blame (kinda) for the whole Nissan calling me on my cell phone. The dealer I planned to go through told me he could get the car dropped shipped to Albuquerque if the local dealer would accept it. So I emailed the local dealer and told him that if he...

Ha... thanks What will be horribly ironic is if my spot opens up today and i can go order :) Gavin

Ha...yes...I was surprised and then confused too...and then when I got the second call and they told me they had been reading my posts here and at ApteraForum, well then it was just a bit creepy. :) But I somewhat understand...and a large part of that was my fault...kinda. I actually thought I...

Ok I have hit a bit of a quandary here and thought I would compose my facts and figures and all that "out loud" here and get a response from people I like and respect...and who also know about these "issues". I ordered on day one and was given a Sept order date. All good. I have not had my spot...

ah, thanks for thinking of me :) one, still haven't been allowed to order...so kinda limbo...but not blocked. maybe the 27th? two...well you will have to look for a new thread I'm about to start for number 2 :) Gavin

I don't think there will be a next round of reservations...at least not like this time... Nissan, and especially their dealers, will want you to order and buy from a dealership... The current way, well I like it and hope it becomes more standard...but in reality the car companies are not used...

Nice....but I would love to see the Altima coupe be the second Nissan electric car. Good size, sporty, good for city commuting. And probably best looking affordable car on the market. Gavin

I got it and filled it out...but mostly I was just thinking that the only email I want from Nissan right now is one telling me my dashboard is open. Gavin
