The Leaf was perfect for me as I don't really need extended range and environmental factors have been part of my car purchase decisions for years (this being my 3rd electric). My husband for many years was more focused on convenience and features and size of car (he always wanted a big car with...

My RAV4 EV was a solid car, but I'm quite glad I upgraded to the Leaf. In my case I do enjoy having some of the bells and whistles of a modern car, like backup camera, bluetooth phone support, etc. The Leaf also accelerates better and the driver's side area is more comfortable (my husband could...

I think I should be able to make this.

My car has finally arrived home safe and sound. I was a little worried I wouldn't get it today after all- they were having some issue installing a software update, but they figured it out and my dealer came out and picked me up since I didn't have a ride. Good luck to the rest of you!

I thought that might be the case. I didn't even think to ask about it until they mentioned something about rebates. Then they were telling me that the rebate gets applied to your charger install, and I told them that my charger was free, but that the rebate they were thinking of was the cost of...

*sigh* I show up at the dealership and they're like, oh whoops someone jumped the gun. The car is there but it hasn't been cleaned up and won't be ready for tomorrow. They let me come see it in its still dirty from the truck state and offered to drop it off at my house tomorrow since they know...

Woot- just got a call from my dealership, they say my car's ready for pickup today! I'm headed over to get it as soon as my father-in-law comes by to pick me up. My poor husband missed the delivery by only a few hours, but he'll get to see it when he gets home from his trip.

I actually got an email from my dealer late tonight that 4 Leafs showed up- she assumes one of them is mine but hasn't had a chance to check the VINs yet. She said they need a day to prep the car, so I can pick it up on Thursday. Can't wait!

Sadly my car still hasn't arrived. This must be the slowest truck from the LA to SF area ever. Crossing my fingers that it shows up tomorrow- I stocked up on enough groceries to manage a few days without a car.

According to my dealer, my car is currently on the truck (as of late last week) but hadn't arrived as of this afternoon. Hopefully it will be there in the morning, or Wed at the latest. I find it odd they can't track it with a bit more detail than that, but at least the wait is almost over. She...

Honestly in my case I would have been better off if they'd just sent my car to the dealer and did the AC fix there. My dealer has only a few Leaf orders and I suspect I would have my car already had they been applying the fix instead of them doing it at the port. For dealers with larger amounts...

That really sucks. That being said, it seems like some of the later date deliveries are magically changing to earlier dates, so hopefully yours will soon too. Have you spoken to Nissan CS about the situation? What are they telling you? I did manage to get them to escalate me to a supervisor at...

Well in some cases I think they did try to address some of the folks who got left behind by reassigning some cars, but they probably can only do this in cases when the car matches the order and it belongs to someone significantly later on the list so that probably means it was difficult to...

I'm quite impatient for my car as well. But I was told that it's just CS that's closed today but that the port is still open as well as the dealerships. So hopefully my car is getting on a truck today *crosses fingers*.

It's Good Friday. Many companies have it as a holiday for the Easter weekend. They mentioned to me the other day when I was checking on the status of my car earlier this week that CS would be off today.
