This provoked Nissan to temporarily postpone sending /opening more slots until those outstanding customers get their orders RAQ's in and "Accepted". (This has nothing to do with people effected by eTech). If you know someone who is lollygagging on completing their RAQ, consider them the hold-up for the rest of the folks anxiously awaiting their opportunity. I have such a fellow at my dealership who simply is "thinking on it" even though we've spoken to him and given him the deal he wants, since day 1...08/31. Go figure!
I heard that people are growing - and the government is finding - a lot of marijuana in the Sierra foothills. Has the smoke from the "eradication" been wafting its way clear up to Lake Tahoe? :lol: [I know, tongue in cheek.

Nissan has realized that 3.3 isn't going to cut it, so they are going to move all cars to the 6.6 capability.

[Nissan] are starting to realize that 80% of their cars on the road with the wrong QC is going to be a problem, so they will also fix this by installing what is going to be the US standard, and installing this on all cars - SV and SL at no extra charge.
Of course, Nissan, in a gesture of good will, decides to retro fit, at no cost, all of the early delivery cars to the new batteries at no charge to the customer.
LMAO!!!

The company has decided to correct their three major deficits before they are widely deployed and become a problem. The first thousand or so cars will roll out in December just to demonstrate that the thing actually exists, but they will all be retrofitted and brought up to spec- or just replaced with new vehicles.
It's a theory, hopefully it will makes it's way to Mark to comment on!
It's a pleasant thought to start the weekend on.

Firstly, yes, Yvonne said that email orders go out EVERY day through Sept. 30. I guess you did miss something. Secondly, you missed the fact that TWO dealers so far said they have had no orders Tues.-Fri, that's four days. How sure are you now?
Xenalmorph said:Seriously, I still don't know how having a gap in Leaf orders leads to all the rampant speculation on this thread?!? I mean, how does this effect the number, design or time of Leafs being built and delivered??? Having a gap in the orders just means there is a gap in the orders. Nothing more, nothing less.

daniel said:As of 1:40 p.m. today (Monday) I cannot order. The live chat line told me they have NOT suspended ordering, and that the sample of folks on this chat board is just too small to be representative. (My understanding is that initial roll-out would be around 6,000 cars, and I gather that about 60 people have posted their order status here, which is only one percent of the total.) On he other hand, I've never actually gotten any reliable information from them, so I regard everything they tell me as wild speculation, the same as most of what I read here.
It would be interesting to hear from some of the higher-volume dealers as to whether they have had any orders come in since last Monday.
leaffan said:At least two dealers have said they have had NO RAQs in the last four days, and I'll be they don't get any today either.

Could you remind us which?
Also peeps, if you are going to email your PD, could you check here first to make sure someone hasn't already done so. Don't want to bombard dealers with the same question!
I just emailed Connell.
