UPDATE: We have just secured two conversion EVs - a BMW Z3 and a Ford Ranger, plus we will have BOTH the Tesla Roadster and Model S! I want to invite everyone to attend the National Plug In Day event in Manassas, VA. We will have EVs from Mitsubishi, Toyota, and NIssan there to see and test...

Just got my Leaf last night! The salesman delivered it to my house because of all of the headaches they caused. We got the Brilliant Silver SL and am loving the color. Sitting in it last night felt awesome, I can't wait to drive it. I have read a lot on this forum about how crappy the sound...

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and offers of help. I have responded to the couple of peopled that e-mailed me directly and want to let everyone else know that we got a call yesterday (as my wife and I were traveling to CT) that our car is in. It turns out that the car we sat in on...

I am turning to everyone on this forum because since the start of my reserach on the Leaf and throughout the purchase process, the members here have been the only voices I feel confident in. I am in a very tough position with the car and am not sure what to do. A little backgound: The...

AmpUpCo My situation might be similar to yours. We were told by our dealer that our car was in 12/16/2011 and that was the date on our dashboard. We got to the dealer to pick up our car and they said they made a mistake and that it was someone else's. I got home and looked at our dashboard and...

Congrats Kmp647! Good to know the wait is worth it. I recently saw a black Leaf at Cowles Nissan in Woodbridge, just as a demo. Our dashboard says week of Decemeber 16th, so we are getting excited. kayne

dklabjan - You are not the only one experiencing this. I scheduled twice with AV for a home assessment, first time they never called and showed up. I called and they said they would have to reschedule since their local electrician was too busy and I called after the window - as if it is was my...

kmp674 - Couldn't agree more. The dealers in NOVA are horrible. I actually had Cowles Nissan ask me to train their staff on the Leaf! If it wasn't for this site I don't know where I would be. I know it has been said many times on this site, but I don't know how Nissan could have made the...

kpm647 - Awesome to hear that you have got carwings enabled and a VIN# assigned. I wish we were in the same situation. We are still waiting to hear anything regarding our expected Dec. delivery date. We just got a good quote from a local electrician so I am excited to exercise the cash and...

Nschuster, Will do. Kayne

Nschuster, I would be happy to put something together, whether it be a yahoo, google or other group platform for us NOVA people. This might sound strange, but I would prefer to wait until we actually get our car, as I am still not 100% convinced that we are going to take delivery of the car...

Nullpointer, I am not sure. Saw a press release on it. I seem to remember them mentioning the chargers are located at a commuter lot. Sorry I don't have more info on this. Kayne

kmp647 - I agree. I think this is a good area, especially considering the charging stations in Union Station in DC, College Park, MD and Gaithersburg, MD. It would be great for all of us to stay in touch either via this board or a local EV group. Always nice to have a network of people you can...

Filmmaker8 - No problem. I have been considering do some of the work myself, I am a bit nervous since doing anything electrical is a stretch for me. I could obviously "dig a trench" myself and could run the wires in the garage myself. I am a little less sure about installing a sub panel. I am...

Thanls, I have asked around.
