Hi There:
Found this forum when researching for a commuter car, what an EXCELLENT place. Been lurking till now. Currently own a few cars, including a Tesla. Was looking for a daily commuter, started landing on the LEAF, and after reading these forums definitely became a believer. The quality of information and knowledge of participants is great. Looked at Ford Escort EV, was nice enough, but then I remembered I'd have to deal with Ford...
Anyway the dealer has absolutely no knowledge of anything about the car (surprise). I almost got the S, but after reading about the heat pump went with an SV with the headlight package. The car itself is first rate. It really is worth much more than what you pay for it. Pretty much love everything about it so far.
But my delivery/first impression has been somewhat damaged. Went online to register the car and kept getting errors when trying to accept the terms and conditions. Called in once, was told system was having "issues." A few hours later called in again, got a much more knowledgeable person. He had me look at info and figured out the dealer never set up the system with the VIN number. He called the dealer and sent me an e-mail they would be ready at 9:30 am to program.
Showed up at ORIGINAL dealer, they called the tech who ASSURED me it would take most of the day (yeah right, I'm an engineer). Had to argue with service manager, it actually took 5 minutes.
Joke is I still can't register. Have talked to Nissan about 4 times so far.
Sigh....
