999 miles on my LEAF's odometer as I pulled into the parking garage at the office this morning. This is 3 weeks to the day after my LEAF was delivered with 9 miles on the odometer.

Reserve today and I bet you get to RAQ tomorrow! Don't waste any time; get in the head of the line for your area... That's what I did.EdmondLeaf said:679 days and my account open today for reservationtps said:999 miles on my LEAF's odometer as I pulled into the parking garage at the office this morning.

If you don't reserve today they may not have an allotment for you. That almost happened to me. I didn't see the email until later that night. My first dealer was out first thing in the morning. My second dealer still had a couple. By the end of day two they were also out.EdmondLeaf said:679 days and my account open today for reservation
I just turned 400 and that's week one. At 9pm it will be one week exactly by then I should have 430 miles on it.tps said:999 miles on my LEAF's odometer as I pulled into the parking garage at the office this morning.

Congrats on your LEAF. I've found that many ChargePoint owners charge about $3.00/hr for charging, great for an occasional hour to get you back home, but very expensive if you do it a lot. The other charging network in the area is SemaCharge, they tend to be at Simon Malls and Walgreens, but they may start popping up other places as part of 350green projects. A lot of them seem to be free for now.yeswaydude said:I picked up my LEAF last night!!! Hurray!!!!!
I drove it until almost midnight!
Unfortunately, I still only have the L1 (supplied) charging dock and I have a lot of driving to do today, so it's sitting at home in the driveway. :-(
It will just have to wait until tomorrow for its grand debut!
Still no word back from GE Energy on getting a WattStation with a longer (and possibly more brightly colored) cord.
I signed up for a ChargePoint card yesterday.
I've got lots of reading to do to find out about all of the intricacies of the car!
Oh! And I was happy to see in the Quick Start guide that the supplied L1 charging dock only requires a 15A circuit -- I had thought the assessment guy had told me that it required a 20A, and my electrician had only wired it as a 15A. I didn't want to deal with the charging dock in the rain last night, so I'll charge it tonight.
The display says it will take 3 hours on L1 to get back to the 80% level. The estimated miles go down quickly when you're running the heated seats and steering wheel and the defogger all at the same time!
I scouted out that charger last night on the way home from work. It's in the Walgreen's parking lot at the corner of Red Lion and Bustleton, on the Bustleton side of the building 3rd space from the end of the building. 1 x J1772 30A, SemaCharge Network. Should be free and will work without a SemaCharge card, at least for now... It's now on my spreadsheet of known public charging spots on the area!yeswaydude said:And thanks for that tip, TPS! I didn't realize there's a Walgreen's with a charger just one block away from where I volunteer in NE Philly. I could have driven the car today and left it there to charge while I was volunteering!?!
To optimize the regenerative braking, I watch the Ecometer. Since it's up in the eyebrow gauge set, you can watch it without taking your eyes off the road. Maybe not perfect, but as far as I'm concerned, it's the best compromise.yeswaydude said:Oh, and there was one other thing that scared the heck out of me. Did Nissan get their braking technology from Toyota? I've had a bad habit of watching the regenerative braking bubbles and then I look up to see that I need to stop immediately to keep from running into the car in front of me.
