As far as delaying my car to get the L3 and free EVSE, I wouldn't take that chance. Even with a 9/3 order date I am now bit concerned with all the April delivery dates for people who ordered as late as Jan 2011. I would rather get my $5k rebate over $700 + $700 savings.
I don't really disagree, but I decided to roll the dice. It's all fairly low-risk to me, at least emotionally, because I'm totally ready to walk away from the Leaf if things don't go completely right for me. If I miss the $5k rebate, I won't buy the car. I might not buy the car anyway. It's right on the edge of my comfort zone, financially. So, if I get a free charger out of this roll of the dice, great. That will increase the chances I buy the Leaf. If this ends up
costing me $700, that may be the last straw and I'll decide that I'd rather save the whole ~$24k and keep driving my MINI for a few more years.
I save money either way. :lol:
(But I really hope this works out.)
