Yeah, I figured as much though...my personal Pennsylvania strategy is to tell myself that it gives me more time to prepare...of course, it is just an excuse!

Steve, I feel bad for you and others in PA. You have been so excited and involved with this since the beginning. Maybe you could arrange a test drive in Maryland or Virginia this fall. I would think your Nissan dealer could arrange that for you.

It's odd that the chart says ordering begins in Arizona in August but my email says "September".

What month is mentioned in the emails of other Arizona people, August or September?

Just got my email. I am in San Diego (and was a approved for a free charger). My reservation date was 6-02-10. My email says I'll be eligible to order in January 2011. Must be because I was late on the list.

Another post stated that the on-line chat folks said late August early September.

In a car, the kickplate is usually a protective/decorative plate on the door sill. You step over it when you get in the car. Normally it is only visible when the door is open. However, it could also be a plate mounted at the bottom of the inside door panel. I assume the "hologram" part is just a fancy decoration on the plate. But, of course, this is all just my best guess.

September (also approved for EV Project).

Although California is mentioned in the first column states, it is not clear to me that every city or region of California will be in the first wave. It's a big state.

The entire state of California is included. I'm virtually in the middle of nowhere here in the rural area between Fresno and Bakersfield, so I confirmed this early on both on Nissan chat and with the local dealership. BTW, I get to order in September!

I was just a few days before you in reserving and am also in one of the "launch 5" states and also drew a January slot. All our August buddies here can shake out the first few bugs in the platform for us.

I am in Santa Barbara, CA, reserved 4/20/2010, and my email states "We just wanted to let you know you'll be able to order your new Nissan Leaf in October 2010
