The ship that many have speculated as being the delivery ship for most of the early Leafs is the United Spirit. It's arrivals in LA have coincided with two batches of deliveries - but no one seems to have seen it in port at the Oppama plant.
Has Nissan been transporting the initial Leafs to another location, and then put them on the United Spirit, or has this ship just not been involved at all?
Interestingly, it has just arrived back in Japan - but didn't head to Oppama.

Can folks try to watch this ship for the next 24-48 hours to see where it goes in Japan, and if it ever hits the Oppama plant?
(n.b. There are some other ships docked at Oppama now, but I don't think we've seen these dropping cars in LA as of yet).
April deliveries should be shipping any day now!
