A shipment of more than 600 Nissan LEAFs destined for the U.S. left port in Japan on March 10, just prior to the earthquake, and will arrive as scheduled. Future impact, if any, on Nissan LEAF supply continues to being assessed.
When they arrive at port.GroundLoop said:At what point in the delivery process do we see the VIN/Carwings appear? Is it when the cars leave the factory, or when they arrive at port?

No, your car arrived in port shortly before the 10th. They estimate 4 weeks from port to delivery.BrianSanDiego said:Interesting. Carwings opened up and I got my VIN the day day, the 10th. I can only assume one of those 600+ is mine. Would explane why there are a lot of "Week of April 6th" deliveries.

BTW - who'd you pay-off to jump ahead of people who've been waiting 3-4 months longer than you?
(Yes, I'm a bit envious!)
(Please fix your quoting in your previous post)BrianSanDiego said:Okay, if you say so. But I have VIN #1053 assigned which seems high for a early March port delivery.
I think it because they were matched with an orphan already in process at the time he was assigned into the sequence.drees said:I'm more curious as to how you (and number of others) who reserved in July '10 and ordered in late January '11 managed to early April delivery dates - well ahead of many people who reserved on April 20 '10 and ordered in late Sept '10 who have estimated May delivery dates. My questions/chats with Nissan have gone unanswered - they say they need one of these people to speak with them so they can look up their information.
Interesting speculation. Could be.smkettner said:I think it because they were matched with an orphan already in process at the time he was assigned into the sequence.
drees said:No - your VIN is right in line with everyone else's early April deliveries which would have arrived in port in early March. If you have a VIN, your car has made it to Long Beach.
That's not it - many of the late Jan '11 orders are not EV project vehicles.richard said:He's also an eTec customer in San Diego. Nissan had obligations to deliver early cars to the eTec/Ecotality project.
smkettner said:Nissan is not going to resequence everyone and match them with a different car to keep all in the original sequence. Just as if a block of front row tickets comes available the box office does not try to move everyone a few seats forward. They just sell the tickets to the next one at the window... pure luck.

My only concern is that the CA rebate funds will run out before some of us early adopters get their Leafs. That's it. Otherwise I could care less about the exact delivery sequence...
