This will be my last post here. You guys are right that I should not have posted in anger as I have done. It serves no purpose. I apologize to anyone who has been offended by my words. My patience has been sorely tried these last few months and I failed to control my anger. I hope those of...

They just pushed back my estimated delivery to week of June 24. Screw 'em. I don't even care any more.

Then don't read my posts.

Precisely my point.

Car companies offer incentives and rebates all the time. Nissan USA can give a rebate to anyone they like without ever affecting the deal between dealer and customer. There's no reason for the dealer to lower his price and I would not ask it of him. But "my" car, assuming it actually exists and...

Insult me all you like. Sticks and stones, and all that. I'm not one to take crap silently. What I WANT is an electric car that will go faster than 35 mph and farther than 40 miles. I bought the Porsche for conversion two years ago and I'm still waiting. I ordered the Leaf 7 months ago, when...

I have done that. Brendan or Brian seem to phone back those few people whose cars are already on the way. They have not phoned me back.

Of course you can post here. The thread title is the topic of discussion, not a prerequisite for who can or cannot post.

Mine has gone up and down, up and down. No car yet. Last time I called it had not left port. I think the estimated delivery date on the dashboard is a random number generator, intended to confuse us.

I must retract part of my post. The member referred to above clarified to me that Brendan didn't tell him blue cars were unaffected, rather that blue (and red) cars cleaned up better than other colors. However, if the chemical used for cleaning did not completely remove the clear coat and...

Pretty much every time I phone CS or use their on-line chat, I am told something that conflicts with what I was told the last time. An occasional mistake is one thing, but when everything they tell you turns out to be wrong, and appears to be designed for no other purpose than to placate you for...

It's because Nissan truly does not care about us. The Leaf is about one ten-thousandth of their business, and this Forum is read by about one percent of leaf buyers, if that many. Nothing anybody says here is of the slightest concern to them. And most of the people who do read this forum are...

I'll bet Brendan or Brian are phoning people whose cars have been shipped and are about to get to the dealer, to give the impression that they're working hard to straighten things out. Of course, the people whose cars are still waiting for a floor mat get no phone call in response to our emails...

I sincerely hope you do not break your car. If your brake pedal breaks you could get in an accident. :? :shock:

Money doesn't generate much of a return these days unless you're willing to tie it up in fairly long-term bonds, with the small but real risk of default, or put it in a junk bond fund, with the risks associated with that. I see what you're saying about leasing being a kind of insurance policy...

I have not seen the "booklet," But it would not surprise me if "excessive" wear and tear on the battery is charged just as "excessive" wear on other parts of the car would be. For precisely the reason you mention: lack of warranty on battery life, the lease might dock you if the battery is too...

Also, while style of acceleration and style of braking are independent of each other, MOST people who accelerate hard also maintain a high speed longer and then brake harder to decrease the distance over which they must brake. Thus they dissipate more energy in the brakes than drivers who allow...

That may be good advice. I've always figured that leasing is more expensive, the only advantage is that the hassle of selling it down the road is gone. Also, with leasing you're paying interest. I never pay interest. On anything. I pay cash or I do without. But it may be a moot point because I...

Nothing against you, Blue: I'm glad you're getting your car; but it's just one more kick in the face from Nissan for those of us who ordered early. It's kind of like a department store having a big sale, and folks have come early and lined up outside, and then the store rent-a-cops come out...
