Picked up my Leaf last night. SL trim, glacier pearl. Vin #4488. All went smooth at Pacific Nissan. Reserved $5k CA rebate. Lots of fun so far...
Sometimes the date changes to a later date because Nissan has physically shipped the car and is adding some days for the delivery. But in CA delivery can be quick, so there is a chance you'll get your car today or tomorrow.kieodadie said:Mine changed from week of June 16 to June 20...AARRGG... also received email that the leaf will be here soon. Probably not soon enough to get the full rebate..... :evil:

I called CS earlier today and they say it's "in transit" and there are no issues.
Now I check this evening and it says week of June 27th.
Based on my experience, it means nothing. i don't know whey they even bother changing the date on the dash, or even specifying a day or week.
If they left it at "month of XXXX" most would be right (after post Tsunami adjustment).
Fingers crossed.
As I'd said previously:704hov1095 said:Looks like Nissan won't have me breathing fire down their necks. I was the one who filed his online rebate app with CVRP last evening BEFORE taking delivery. This am I received an email from CVRP stating they had accepted my application and my full rebate was being reserved. They saw the 6/15 app date but 6/16 delivery and simply changed the date to 6/16 on my behalf. The rep (Kyle) fully reassured me that my rebate was $5K and reserved as long as I turned in the supporting materials in 14 days.
Looks like CVRP folks did a little of both ... pre-/postdating and having grace. These CVRP folks know how to do it Right. Very refreshing. Kudos to the CVRP folks, and Congratulations to you on getting everything squared away in the nick of time.JPVLeaf said:Unless you already made arrangements to sign ownership documents contract prior to delivery, what drees mentioned above may be the case, unless by the grace of the CVRP folks ....
Predate? :|
Can that be done? If so it would be worth considering given the rebate pool will probably expire tomorrow (61 remaining, averaging ~50/day). Maybe go ahead and fill out the online rebate application at 12:01 tonight if your plan is to "purchase" it tomorrow.arnolddeleon said:gbshaun said:arnolddeleon said:WTF Nissan, my dashboard said week of June 14th this morning.

For a couple days Nissan CS said it had left their inventory but my dealer couldn't see it and they didn't have the invoice. The dealer got the invoice this morning so it is getting closer (with any luck the actual vehicle shouldn't be far behind). I may end up purchasing the car before it actually is physically here.
Agree. Some were better than others, but overall what was the point in even having this phone bank if Nissan had no ability to provide them access to meaningful information, or chose not to? Mine was on a truck to my dealer, yet C-S didn't even know that.arnolddeleon said:As an aside, the Nissan CS folks have obviously been coached to be empathatic to customer "anxiety" but man they need more coaching on faking sincerity. The platitudes just made my blood boil even more.

I just noticed the rebate pool jump back UP by $5k. You may be right!davewill said:I'd do that even if you think they're gone. It wouldn't surprise me to have the first few people on the wait list end up getting the full rebate because some get rejected later for applying too soon.gbshaun said:...My prediction is that someone on 18th, possibly 19th, will reserve the last full $5k, and the next person will get a check for the remaining $4929.
Most deliveries that day will not be to MNL'ers or folks who are aware of the process, and it might be worth filling out the online form first thing that morning if you think there's even a chance it'll arrive that day.

Did you see it go past your window on the way from Long Beach? ;-)occ in Tustin said:.... We're running down to SD today after work."
Yeah, mine changed to 27th (from 24th) 2 hours before it was delivered on 14th.occ said:Dashboard still say Wk of June 27th.

I just did. I now own a car I can't drive yet. All I have to show for an over $40,000 check are pieces of paper.

How did you do this? I tried to talk my dealer into doing this and they said that they can't complete the paper work until the car is physically at the dealership.
Arnolddeleon may have purchased his car a day or two before it arrived at the dealership, but you actually drove yours home a whole MONTH before yours was even delivered! :lol: :lol:camasleaf said:4/20/10 - 10/28/10, Delivered 07/17/11
See you on the road.

Arnold, if you're saying you bought your LEAF before it arrived at your dealer, my frustration (dare I say anger?) level with Nissan's whole delivery process just went through the roof!! I, and many others, were told by our Preferred Dealer that we could do no paperwork with them until the car was actually in their possession. To hear someone say they did otherwise, as we watched the sand run out of the CVRP hourglass, is nothing short of twisting the knife.arnolddeleon said:Once the car was in their inventory (they were invoiced for it and they were paying for it) they were willing to sell it to me. Between the time it "left" Nissan there was a limbo time of a couple of days where the dealer couldn't do anything. We had to wait for something to happen but once they "had" it I bought it. I expect it won't be much longer to actually drive it since Nissan CS said that it was sent over for transport several days ago...
