Mine is just back to Month of May (it went to July, then to June).. no "week of" just May, so probably on the next ship and will be near the end of May.

You don't have to use two. One should be sufficient. I'm surprised you couldn't remember that from your English classes.
Yowser! And I thought I was getting bent by the wait... The wait is seriously frustrating, but among ourselves, I'm for supporting each other. It's unfortunate that Nissan has not done more to come forward about the order mixups where Nissan has made a mistake and moved what I'll presume are 100's of orders ahead of the queue and apparently not taking singificant steps to correct the existing issues, they are only preventing it from happening in the future.davewill said:Hmmm...Bitter are we?

ElectricVehicle said:There is the idea that only those with VINs assigned now will actually jump the queue. I'm thinking they'll be more queue order jumps than just those with VINs, otherwise Nissan is doing the jumped orders a disservice by keeping them thinking they'll get it in May, wheresas if they put them back where they should be, they'd be past July. Nissan has not provided even a ball park number of the out of order deliveries. So they'll have to tolerate the speculation in the vacuum of hard information from Nissan. Therefore, my speculation is there will be over 100 out of queue order deliveries unless Nissan takes further steps to correct this mistake now.
Between us purchasers, I'm annoued (See? I'm SO annoyed, I can't spell annoyed!!!) by the mistake. Though if I meet someone who has gotten an early delivery due to Nissan's mixup, I'm going to be happy to see them and congratulate them, because it's another LEAF on the road, a like minded person that we probably have lots of things to talk about in this new experience of LEAF ownership, and their good luck was most certainly not their fault. Maybe they'll let me bask within 100 feet of their LEAF! Don't feed the bears and hand me the keys, though, you LEAF may drive away! It's Nissan's mess up. And while they haven't waited as long as the rest of us, waiting over a couple weeks to get any vehicle can quickly become a frustrating experience. Ahh...but when we finally get our LEAFs, that will be a happy day! Delivery Day!
I want to say thank you to ElectricVehicle and davewill for your positive attitudes! You certainly have cause to be upset with the situation and to be angry at Nissan, and still you promote civil discourse! (By the way, for the grammarians among us, the use of exclamation marks is intentional to show that I am very thankful for your contributions. )ElectricVehicle said:Between us purchasers, I'm annoued (See?

Or even let you drive it. But I think it's likely that you will get your car before I get mine, though my total wait will have been shorter than yours. In fact I hope you get your car before I do. It's only fair! (Exclamation intentional) But whenever my car arrives, I'm not going to refuse delivery!! (Two exclamations intentional)Maybe they'll let me bask within 100 feet of their LEAF!

Very lame...my point (excuse the pun) was that the OP was complaining about his date changing when he was a leapfrog. The poster didn't care about all those people ahead in the reservation/ordering process. I see no positive attitudes with supporting people who are complaining leapfrogs.
That pretty much sums up the experience of the few LEAF owners to whom I have spoken. I anticipate feeling the same way. Despite the emotional roller coaster, my co-workers and friends all remark about my unbridled passion for the car when they hear me speak about it.Lanzer said:I love hanging around this forum because I left a great affinity towards people who love the Leaf or love the idea behind a zero emission vehicle. It points to the statistic that we're either fans of technology and innovation, or we're fans behind the movement towards better environmental awareness and a lifestyle that leads to lowering our carbon footprint.
At the same time I enjoy everyone's posts because I felt that the general public here are intelligent, and mature. On top of that, I left even more affinity with those in the May delivery timeline because we're the batch that reserved last year, went through the thrill of waiting for the order email, the excitement on every news related to the Leaf afterwards, the emotions with the failed promises in small deliveries, then the recent sadness and uncertainty after the disaster in Japan.
We watched the lucky members who checked their email hours before we did and therefore get to pick up their cars many months ahead, and we then find other lucky members who get to have their cars even though they ordered after October. I'm embarrassed to say that there are nights where I went to sleep frustrated, wishing that I could have been more lucky... all this over a car reservation!
I don't have much to add, but to say that I'm gonna feel pretty victorious by the time that I get to sit in my own Leaf after the complimentary roller coaster ride that Nissan put us on before getting our EV's.
No google account needed. Open the spreadsheet, click and follow the instructions tab. Member Turbo2liter does all the updates after you submit them.daniel said:Oh, and BTW, I'm not in the spreadsheet because I don't have a Google account. Yes, I know I can get one for free. I just don't want one.
It's an exclamation point, not a complaint mark. He was exclaiming about something. He might have been doing it as a complaint, but I think it would be just as valid to interpret as simply surprise at how volatile the date was being.LEAFfan said:Excuse me! He wasn't complaining? You, my friend, need an English refresher. Yes, he was and he shouldn't be. What do you think an exclamation mark means? Maybe you need to read his post again?blackleaf said:Anyone out there have a lot of change in delivery prediction in the last couple days? Mine was stable on week of april 26th for a solid month, and then Monday went to May 6th, and then May 16th!
