Ok New Yorkers, our time is coming soon. My Dashboard opened up yesterday the Schedule home assessment, which is the step before ordering. I called CS to request the waiver, and they told me it would be completed by Sept 29th. I asked if that meant NY orders would be opened the first week of October, and they said "hopefully". Same thing has been reported by MA forum members on the New England thread.
So I started calling local dealers today to get a PD lined up. First call asking for the Leaf Specialist, the receptionist for Sales had no idea what a leaf was. After I convinced her it was a car that Nissan was selling, She transferred me to a random salesman, who responded to my Leaf inquiry with the now classic " what kind of car did you say you want to Lease?"
Finally got to a Leaf Specialist, who was nice, said I was the first Leaf call, I'm going in to see him tomorrow. Don't know if there is anyone else on the forum near Albany, but I will post what price I get. If they want $1000s over MSRP, I'll be looking to buy elsewhere and ship.
