Yea, nice having the "plus" to go the 200 miles back and forth to the cabin - and not having to pay $100 to fill my old Suburban!

Ital74 said:Yes it's now 1% in the north east.
My car did not come in yet but the dealer was able to lock in last month rate of zero % for 30days.

Interesting to see Nissan Finance has different rates based on regions. Nonetheless, good to hear you were able to lock in the 0%. All the best with your timely delivery.

Having trouble finding a dealer to purchase from, at msrp, with no dealer add-ons or accessories.
I may end up just ordering a Model 3 - at least there aren't a bunch of games with them.

I hope you have the patience of Budha. Although worth it, ordering a Tesla involves A LOT of waiting.
In this crazy chip-shortage production-constrained environment, all dealers know that it's a seller's market. Even used vehicles are selling at a premium!
If you can, buy from a dealership that's further away. The lower demand out there might help your negotiating position. But make sure they agree to a price in E-mail before heading out there, or else you'll be stuck AND hours away from home.

Mossy Nissan group across San Diego area has this no markup / no BS addons policy. I'm not affiliated in any way. Just a happy customer.

Excellent - thanks. Will check them out.
OC dealers are all adding a lot of fluff, mostly three to five thousand ADM - I tell them up front it's a non-starter, then crickets. I am dumbfounded so many sheeple just go along with this charade.

Same observations. The further north you go the worse it seems to get with LA being the peak!
I found some Mossy dealerships are better than others in the quality of communications. Oceanside was slow. El Cajon is where I ended up buying from with great experience. They all have pre-allocated cars and schedules so where you find the earliest available car might end up where you get it from.
Best of luck. Hope it works for you.

Contacted Oceanside, they called right away, but slow on texting. I'm still trying to decide if I want to pursue a purchase or wait. I haven't heard what they have coming in. We have two other cars so it's not pressing. I don't want to miss the tax credit or CA rebate, so there's some impetus to act. OTOH, of everything really does take a dump it would be nice to have everything paid off. A base S is so cheap it's like a no-brainer. I just hope I wouldn't kick myself for not getting a Plus. I could always trade it later for something with more range if needed. My commute is 6 miles and due to retire in 18 months. I should be riding my ebike, but meh. LOL
My lease was coming up on my Challenger RT - 400hp was fun, but the writing was on the wall. Sold it to a wholesale dealer and put ten grand in my pocket. Paid off a bunch of stuff. In retrospect I should have put the cash on a new model 3, but alas wifey is more practical than me. Five grand down and $660 a month for a base-base model 3 just seems way out there...doesn't move the needle.
Funny, much as I loved that car, and the sound, I don't miss it much. It averaged 16mpg over 16K miles. Premium fuel too. I've owned over fifty cars in my driving career and that was the first V8 powered car. Glad I got that out of my system.
I had some interest in the Kona Electric - then found out about the 6-million vehicle recall. I'm now completely off Korean cars again. Now for good.
I may just wait for the Equinox EV. Seems perfect for what I want.
