I did this when the LEAF 1.0 came out. Might as well do it again!

Well, I registered, but I'll be amazed if they bring a car to Upstate NY for me. I'm willing to drive as much as 50-75 miles, but not hundreds of miles.

Got that too. Is that going out to everyone or to just those who reserved a 2018 Leaf through Nissan's website? Or to anyone for whom Nissan has their e-mail address and believes already owns a Leaf?

It seems to be 2 parts. There is the dinner/preview. Then they want another date and time where they will bring the car to you. When I put in my home address, they indicated no upcoming dates where they would bring the car. But I was able to schedule one for my work address for right after getting off from work.

Yes, I heard about these two parts (first the first time) at EVent at Nissan's Sunnyvale research office earlier tonight. I signed up on tablets there for the test drive and yeah, a slide mentioned Oct timeframe for events like what Joe6pack mentioned. The marketing guy mentioned there'd be a celebrity chef there.

I did receive a "Your all-new LEAF driving experience is confirmed" email after signing up but nothing about the celebrity chef event.

[GetOffYourGas]

None available in my area, but the site says it goes through February. Maybe something will come up when my local dealer gets a demo model.

I signed up for a weekday at 5PM at my office. I figure if it actually happens, I can get others to join me and at least look at the new car.

Certainly not only those who reserved a 2018 LEAF.

Today at the Cupertino EVent (https://driveelectricweek.org/event.php?eventid=899), at the Leaf booth, they did have signups for the celebrity chef EVent.

There were two choices: SF (I believe Oct 14 or 15) and San Jose (Oct 21). The latter was more convenient but it seemed I was signing up to be on the wait list for that. I believe both were in the evening. San Jose one was 6 to 10 pm, IIRC.

The web page they had us go to also let us put ourselves on the wait list for the above EVent + schedule a test drive where the car's brought to you.

Kind of surprising that it is not available (yet) in the area of L.A. where I live...

I recently bought a 2015 Leaf S from a local Nissan dealer and I received an invitation to the Atlanta event in October too. I wouldn't think they'd assume I'd be in the market for a new leaf when I just bought my '15 in July.
