I'm the Don Davis Nissan EV Sales Leader, located here in Arlington TX. I've seen a couple of comments about dealer attitudes encountered, and I wanted to put my two cents worth in. Nissan is being very focused on the end-user with the rollout of the LEAF, and most of their communications are direct to consumer through the official website. Everyone who reserves a LEAF has access to a dashboard to track their vehicle through production. Dealer involvement is fairly limited at this time. When you designate a dealer, your information pops up on that dealers dashboard, but it is information only available to the designated EV Sales personnel at that dealership (and they should contact you). For general infomation, there is much more available on Nissans microsite than currently at a Nissan dealership. If you want to talk to someone at a Nissan Dealership about LEAF, I recommend going through the sales director or general manager of the dealership to find the designated EV sales staff.
During the month of January 2011, there are a few LEAF events in DFW, including the DRIVE ELECTRIC TOUR. There will be LEAF's available for test drives in Irving on January 14, 15, and 16, and I'm guessing most people on this forum have been notified of the event.
Certified dealerships should be getting a demonstrator LEAF, available for test drives, soon. We (Don Davis Nissan) have completed installation of level two charging stations on at our facility, and are anxiously waiting for a vehicle. No specific word yet as to when it will arrive, but when it does I'll put a note up.
