[Weatherman]

Doesn't that mean it's at the bottom of the ocean with Weatherman's?

Yes. It does.

And, based on this morning's posts in the Chicagoland thread, they are starting to pile up down there.

The good news....my EVSE is finally installed.

The bad news...nothing to charge. :evil:

Anyone need a charge in Kendall?

That's it.

Just about as simple as it possibly can be.

I wonder who will get their car first...Weatherman with his coming from California or one of the rest of us. Anyone wanna bet?

Hold your bets everyone.... I got a call late afternoon from my dealer that the car just came in. I went in about 7pm and was out of there just after 9 with my new baby. Wife, kids, and I are all in love. My older daughter asked to sleep in the car tonight. The Leaf is cozy in the garage charging from the regular 110V outlet until I get the AV unit installed on Saturday - thanks evenoelle for the suggestion on where to purchase the unit.

Carwings and the iPhone app are really cool. The app is currently showing a charge to full time of 4 hours and 30 minutes. The range estimate is 72 miles.

Looks like a late night reading the owner's manual....

P.S.: A shoutout to Mitch at Maroone Nissan of Delray. I know there have been a few negative comments (I also had a couple of times where my calls were not returned promptly), but Mitch really stepped it up. The closing went very smoothly and I was very impressed with the service.

Weatherman, I just checked the autonation.com web site, and they're showing my car scheduled for delivery on 12/9. Needless to say that's incorrect... Also there are a couple more showing with late December delivery dates.

 

[spike09]

Actually, he's probably right about cars dropping off the inventory list being delivered. I know for a fact that the black SL from Maroone in Delray was delivered yesterday. So there's at least one Leaf in the wild in South Florida!

Yeah, that was perfect confirmation that my initial assumption was correct. AutoNation drops them off the inventory when they are delivered. And, from my best count, AutoNation has delivered about five or six, so far, in South Florida, so they're rolling right along.

By the way, BrainDonor, it appears they have bumped your estimated delivery date out to the end of next week.

I am now super pissed at Bill Seidle knowing AutoNation dealers already delivered half a dozen cars!!

Yeah, I saw we are up into the 17000s on the VINs, now. You have to admit that AutoNation does seem to have their act together.

Did your dealer give you a breakdown of the DMV fees on your lease? I recall about $460 being up for grabs.

Yes, they did. I don't have the papers with me now, but they were reasonable. I did a tag transfer from my old car.

Have you talked to Leonard or Doug at BS at all? I wonder if it will turn out like BrainDonor and we will get no "heads up", the cars will just all of a sudden be at the dealer. (Is that wishful thinking?)

You're welcome! Ours was installed yesterday and everything looks good to go. Enjoy your new car...the rest of us will have to just live vicariously through you for now.

---edited to add ---
Uh....my Carwings just became available! My VIN number is in the low 16000's

That's a very good sign. Your car should be delivered within a week or so. If you have an iPhone (or Android phone), get the Leaf app set up prior to picking up the car. In our case it took less than a minute to get both my phone and my wife's to query the car's status from the app. It is really cool. The dealer will walk you through that.

I just got my invitation this morning to visit the owner's portal and setup Carwings! VIN number 16484. Still listed as "Week of December 19".
