Are Leafs on hold at Long Beach or are they being released?

It appears that there has been a hold on releasing cars from Long Beach because of the A/C problem. Are Leafs now being released for delivery to dealers?

I was about to post the same question. It seems they have NOT started the deliveries. Nissan is not willing to share that info, so only the dealers can tell us if the process has restarted and if they are receiving any LEAFs.

It seems to me that trucking of Leafs from the Port of Long Beach to Nissan dealers stopped on or around April 1. Is that the impressions others get?

-o-

UPDATE: Thanks to those who wrote and reported deliveries from port to dealers continued after the 1st of April (and before the "hold" placed on some vehicles).

Lots of deliveries since the 1st.

You can start reading from here about deliveries from the 5th onward.

But these could have been in transit or already at the dealers before the lockdown took place.

This is their first post... sounds like a fishing expedition by a reporter to me...

I know of one delivery that is being held back, reportedly due to the AC issue. Here's hoping he, and you all, get your cars soon!

I speculate some are held and some are not.

jjssd, is your car held? Are you on the spreadsheet?

I am on the spreadsheets with a June delivery. I am trying to figure out if the estimated delivery date is meaningful or a pipe dream. If cars remain on hold this would likely delay my delivery.

There is a NNA (Nissan North America) "HOLD" status showing on all the LEAFs I'm expecting in through May, but there has been no change to their (stated) ETA's. Nissan has a normal process where they can put a "HOLD" status on an incoming vehicle, or group of vehicles, while they fix an issue or problem. They do not normally report why a vehicle is being held at the port. Reported transit status is updated to dealers overnight, but it is a separate system from the LEAF customer and dealer dashboards. If they released the LEAF's today, I wouldn't see the status change until tomorrow and it wouldn't, neccesarily, be reflected on my dealer dashboard. A vehicle being on hold may have no effect on expected delivery to a dealer as there is some flexibilty to the scheduling.

Thank you jwhitehouse!! Please let us know when the hold is lifted

When the Leaf is "released", does that mean the vehicle is ready to be shipped (transported to the dealer) or is being shipped?

Are VINS as high as 001999 already at the Port of LA?

They damn well better be, since that is my exact VIN, and I have week of April 22 still listed on my dashboard :evil:

Mine, as well as others, are on hold

The VINs seem to be up to about 2350 so far reported.

My 2148 is due 4/19

My VIN is 0756 and it's been at the Port on hold for over three weeks. My dashboard still says Week of April 8th and it's the 12th with no car delivered. Received the 7 day e-mail on March 23rd. So much for scheduling.

I know it only tracks deliveries in CA, but based on the daily tracking of the CVRP, it looks like deliveries went back to a trickle last week on the 7th (~2 per day compared to ~15 per day the week before) and have come to a near stop this week so far.

I've got eight LEAF's showing VIN's in our Order Management System. One delvered at the end of March, but the others went into HOLD status and have been there about a week. Three have have had the HOLD released today, and have new ETAs (for the last week of April, first part of May). The OMS status I see is updated overnight (not immediately), but it seems like Nissan has resolution to the problem and is shipping LEAF's again.

there is some good news that is based on fact, rather than speculation!
