daniel doesn't want a resolution, he just wants to continue to bash Nissan and talk about how great he is that he has a Porsche EV coming.
I ordered 9/10/10. My car was delivered to my door 6/6/11. So, delivery was just short of 9 months to the day of ordering! I got my VIN back on 3/9/10, so yeah my car was in port for more than two months. I had my share of status chats with CS, and 'elevations' to CS supervisors. I experienced every range of 'where-the-heck's-my-car' emotion. I was affected by just about every delay for cars that were lucky enough to have arrived in LB pre-earthquake+tsunami: AC software fix, multiple accessory holds, and multiple 'waiting for railcar' delays. The latter was due to my own decision to order from out-of-state, and probably added another 3 wk delay. Though, since I had anticipated that this last one might delay my delivery about 2 wks, it wasn't that far off.
Having said all that, it was a crazy ride. It was after my last call with a CS supervisor whose smugness and you'll-get it-when-you-get-it attitude pissed me off. I politely told him off ... He apologized, and noted he'd change his 'tone' in future calls. He offered to email me with updates ... blah blah. Perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, I started reading about how helpful this CS supervisor was very soon later that day.
Well, all to say that it was after that CS call ...and reading some of the more 'vindictive' posters here, most if not all of whom ordered days, weeks and months after me, that I began to think 'why the heck am I letting myself get all worked up about this?' Though you don't want to hear it when you've already waited 8 months since ordering, Nissan is trying to get these cars out as quickly as possible ... Even if they are not flying out of port as quickly as we would all like, especially your own car.
Even though I too had reached the point of wondering if I even wanted this car anyways because the delays had 'soured' the anticipation and excitement, I can now say don't worry about it. As others have said, once your car arrives, it's surprising how quickly it all fades from memory. If you don't trust that, then you may be better off not getting the car.
I know I'm very happy after the looonng 9-month wait. Right now, I'm sitting waiting for my car to get tinted. I'm a happy Leaf owner. If anyone else has reached the 9-month mark from the date of RAQ/ordering, then you can b#%^* to me.
