Lucky Dog!
Maybe I'll get mine in the next month or two. Let us know what you think of it!

Congrats, Turbo! Hope to see you this weekend in Newark!Turbo3 said:Finally got the call this morning from Boardwalk and went and picked up the car.
We've all been on the emotional roller coaster with some worse than others (as in Rat, who basically had to start over this month). If you can swing the cash flow, buy the LEAF. Even if you decide not to keep it, demand is so high that you'll find a willing buyer in a heartbeat. But I think you'll also find quite a comradery among your local fellow LEAF owners that you may not get otherwise.daniel said:If I used the language I truly feel to describe my opinion of Nissan, I'd be banned from this forum. And yet, like a battered spouse, I keep crawling back every time they promise me that this time my car really is coming. I'm not sure whether I despise myself more for not walking away, or them for their treatment of me (and many of you as well.)
GroundLoop said:Huh! That's bizarre. The woman (Jaffe?) in Mossy Poway Finance flat-out refused and said the Mossy policy is No Credit Cards.TonyWilliams said:Ahmood at Mossy Poway took our American Express card.
When I mentioned that Mossy Toyota certainly does, she said someone probably made a mistake. Bah.
I too enjoy my Amex Cash rebate. $2000 is $25, so hell yeah.
The moral is: Ask if Ahmood is available!

Not much in the way of "fellow Leaf owners" here in Spokane. My dealer has delivered 3 so far, and I think there are maybe a dozen total orders. I wouldn't expect to even see another Leaf in the normal course of a month of driving, unless I stop at the dealership. It was the same when I lived in Fargo and bought my 2004 Prius. I think I saw three of them that first year.gascant said:We've all been on the emotional roller coaster with some worse than others (as in Rat, who basically had to start over this month).

You can't really blame them: You bought your car at a dealer farther away, then wanted to use them to hopscotch home. But I'm glad you made it, and it's great that a company that seems to have nothing to do with cars or electrification has set up a charging station for wayfarers. And congrats on getting your car.Lanzer said:... I found Premier Nissan as the only charging station that Carwings found along my route. Called them before heading down but was told that "we can't have people coming in day after day, this is not a charging station." So much for the Nissan network!...
I can blame them quite easily! That is a stingy and short-sighted policy to refuse charging to any Leaf driver who needs some juice to get home, especially in this early period of EV adoption. Until the public infrastructure is more fully developed, it will discourage "fence-sitters" who suffer from range-anxiety to hear stories like this, justifying their hesitance in taking the leap to an EV. I wish Nissan had made it MANDATORY that any Leaf-certified dealer offer free and accessible charging to any owner. :evil:daniel said:You can't really blame them: You bought your car at a dealer farther away, then wanted to use them to hopscotch home.
I would call them out and contact Nissan to check on Premier Nissan's charging dock availability.Lanzer said:The plan was to get a charge half way through.

Come on, man! Another dealer undercut their price, and you were basically saying to them: I saved a few bucks by not buying from you, but would you give me a free charge because otherwise I'd have had to buy from you.ttweed said:I can blame them quite easily!
