Welp, now we are done with the 'willing to buy/lease at msrp' crowd.
The rest of the year will be a discount dance by Nissan to reach their regulatory sales goals for CARB compliance.
Anybody know Nissan total sales in the CARB states last year, and the ZEV requirement ? I think the latter is 5% but I am not positive
Addendum:

Total Nissan sales in CA about 150k a year
~ 12% ZEV credits required on average over the next 5 years
2018 LEAF = 2 ZEV credits
So Nissan will target at least 9000* LEAF sales in CA each year
Since CA is about half of EV sales, I'll guess that total LEAF sales in the US annually at 20k.
