It's wrong that Nissan took reservations from even a single person from the Forgotten 36 in April 2010, as now it's looking like we might not see our "reserved" LEAF until possibly 2013. Check out this from a recent CNET article http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-20072629-48/nissan-may-delay-u.s-ev-output/ about LEAF orders:
Company officials have said they expect to deliver 10,000 to 12,000 Leafs in the United States in 2011. Nissan has so far taken about 7,000 orders for the vehicle and expects to have those orders filled by the end of summer. It is taking orders in California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Tennessee, Hawaii, and Texas. This summer Nissan will begin accepting orders in Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Nissan's goal is to be selling in all 50 states by the time production begins in Smyrna.
Smyrna might not even open in 2012! Meaning no LEAFs for the Forgotten 36 until 3 years after thousands of us handed $99 over to Nissan?
When do others think folks who reserved a LEAF in April 2010 from the Forgotten 36 will actually see their LEAFs?
-- Late 2011
-- Early 2012
-- Late 2012
-- 2013
