Now that we are at one year mark since Leaf deliveries started, where do you think the demand is at ?
- We know 2 SoCal dealers have a couple of dozen unsold "orphans". But rest of the country seems to still sell orphans at a premium.
- Though Nissan has monthly order quotas for each dealer, I've not seen any reports that say people haven't been able to order because a certain dealer didn't have open quota. Have you seen any dealer's quota for a month completed, so they couldn't order the car for you ?
This tells me - the demand under current system of ordering is perhaps about 1,000 a month. Nissan would have to do things differently to drum up the demand when the TN plant goes online.
