Customer Service told me that there are 600 Leafs there, some of which may have been damaged.

Bird droppings. They have been sitting near the ocean for quite a while now and I'm sure there's plenty of seagulls about. Going to have to decontaminate them. Went right through the protective plastic. :lol:mogur said:Damaged by what, A/C explosions???

You got my attention evdriver. You sound as if you have a reason to know how many cars are there, and the details of "what is really going on."EVDRIVER said:There are about 1500 and in time some interesting details will surface about the delays and what is really going on. If your car is there I would say you are lucky.
youngr3 said:Any truth to the comment by CS that the number of cars delivered to the port is much closer to 1000 than 1500?

I thought there was an official Nissan press release that said 1500. Unless a bunch have already been processed and are on the way to dealersDesertstraw said:Customer Service told me that there are 600 Leafs there, some of which may have been damaged.
Press release on 3/18/11 said 1500 cars in port or on a boat.smkettner said:I thought there was an official Nissan press release that said 1500.
Nissan Americas has visibility of more than 1,500 Nissan LEAF vehicles either in transit from Japan or at port in the U.S. This number includes the shipment of more than 600 Nissan LEAFs which left port in Japan on March 10, the day before the earthquake.
In April, Nissan began revamping the program, re-training agents staffing the vehicle's sales website and promoting Jones, who had been a manager of general sales and marketing, to director of the same for the plug-in brand.
The first Leaf buyers, who Jones described as more affluent and tech-savvy than typical Nissan customers, require special handling. One Californian on the waiting list was so anxious about his order that "he even got a helicopter to fly over the port to see how many Leafs had arrived," Jones said in a telephone interview on June 3.
"The expectation we set for our customer service agents didn't prepare them for that level of customer inquiry," said Jones, based in Franklin, Tennessee, at Nissan's North American headquarters.

Yep, saw that article.. too funny. Just glad they saw the pics and got the message that WE CAN check up on them. Better to just communicate with the customers than force us to have to go look ourselves and blow their cover! Those photos got picked up by blogs and all sorts of stuff.AndyH said:Congrats Aries - did you know that you're one of the 'anxious' folks waiting for their Leaf?
No worries. A flight up the coast is always fun. Plus, I wanted to send the message to Nissan that we're watching and have lots of means available to us! Don't mess with MNL members!OilFreedom said:Wow, aries! I just discovered this thread. Rockin' cool that you flew up for some recon! Instead of "anxious", I think of you as a true enthusiast! Bravo and thanks for sharing all the pics and movie. The clip looking down over the facility reminded me of skydiving! :lol:
