Based on all of the recent press and negative feedback about dates getting pushed, should I just give up on any hope of being able to order and receive a Leaf within 2011? I'm in Florida (which I think is a 2nd tier state?) and I unfortunately mulled over my decision too long the first time and when I went to finally put down my $99 it was 1 day too late.
I know that I should take a lot of the news stories with a grain of salt, but I'm losing hope each day. I understand the diversion to Japan for the expiring EV credit. And I believe them that the plant workers are doing holidays/weekends to meet demand. But if Florida hasn't even gotten their initial reservation deliveries, what are the odds the reservations will open back up before the end of the year?
It doesn't help that I got to drive one at the Orlando event and that re-ignited my obsession for all things LEAF. I just want to know if I should start thinking toward Xmas 2011 as a realistic ordering date? Or is it possible that they will open up reservations before the first batch is finished being delievered? I keep reading conflicting stories. "Reservations will open by the end of the summer." "Open back up in the Fall." So now I'm not sure what to believe. Anyone with any insight into the matter, please let me know.
