I'd prefer no charge port release lever at all. I thought a fueling release lever was added to cars to prevent gas theft.  Keeping it for an electric car seems silly.   A spring mechanism for the charge port cover could assure the cover stays closed while driving, yet will flip open for...

Me too.

Me Too! My CarWings opened this morning VIN 2254 with delivery week of 6 May.

Your experience does cause me to think twice about completing my Leaf purchase. The lesson learned is that a typical drive in the Bay Area can easily exceed the Leaf's range.   Do I really want to deal with the inconvenience of needing to judge the distance of each daily drive? A few level 3...

My dashboard changed from Pending to "Week of May 2, 2011" last night. I got an e-mail from Nissan Customer Support yesterday. It said no VIN has been assigned to me, but my information had been forwarded to the "Leadership team who are working hard to find me a vehicle". Maybe my e-mail to...

Last night, I became an April>May>Pending, too. I suspect everyone without a VIN was moved to pending, so they could re-sequence dashboard delivery estimates by order date. They have a PR problem, and need to respect the ordering queue to make things right.

I was changed from April to May, too. Now it's eight months from order date! Do I really want a Leaf that much? Only if there were other choices. I'd choose a Volt, but every dealer I've talked to wants way over MSRP, or the delay is worse than the Leaf. Maybe I should put the $33,000 into...

Here's the label on the J-1772 Connector on the CS-100. An ITT UL Listed 75 Amp Connector

Me Too!!!!! Are we all from California or did they open it for other states?

I'll be there. I've been walking by Boardwalk Nissan at lunchtime for the last few months hoping to see one (and Boardwalk Chevrolet for the Volt) I can't decide whether to buy a Leaf or a Volt. With the $5,000 California rebate, the Leaf is a bargain when compared to the Volt, but can I...

I just completed the survey. It appears its primary purpose is to translate reservations into orders. Maybe a lower percentage than expected of those given RAQ ability are proceeding with their orders.

This Boardwalk Nissan site says "On Tuesday, July 27th, Nissan will announce the dealer roll-out of the Leaf...". http://nissanleafelectric.com/2010/07/nissan-updates-the-ordering-process/

Boardwalk Nissan in Redwood City is selling Leafs for MSRP only. _________________ Brendan Dolan Community Director Boardwalk Auto Center Check out my Nissan Leaf Blog! My Leaf is a Black SL! This is great news for the thousands of Bay Area residents who have Leaf reservations. Until now, I...

My evaluation is scheduled for July 1. With the 50 percent federal tax credit available this year (up to $2,000) for EVSE installation, I would like the installer to future proof the electrical service. When the electrician comes for my July 1 evaluation, I wonder how much future proofing he is...
