At which stage are you in the Nissan LEAF purchase process?

The process by which to purchase a Nissan LEAF is different from any other vehicle's ordering process because electric vehicles require a charging station to be installed in your home and each Nissan LEAF is only built after a customer places an order. This process offers the advantage of every vehicle being built exactly to your specifications; however, the process does involve additional steps and a longer time line than purchasing a traditional new vehicle from a dealer's lot. Nissan has been working hard to simplify the ordering process and clearly communicate the steps involved in the easy to understand format shown below.

Step 1: Make Reservation (http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/reservation/index)
Step 2: Receive Home Charging Station Assessment
Step 3: Order Your Nissan LEAF
Step 4: Install Home Charging Dock
Step 5: Purchase and Receive Delivery

"Gee GroundLoop, when do you think you'll get your car? Ha! Will it be... in the next 3 months? Will it take a year? Tell us when you think we you will get a car from us. Bahaahahaa.. go ahead, guess.. Stop. Enough laughing! We're making you guess. now! Pick one! Or you get the fan belt!"
