With 10's of thousands on the $99 wait list, many consider how far down the list they'll be. It might be longer than one realizes. I say that because of "charging infrastructure". Even the entire roll out communities won't necessarily be within the smaller circle ... the areas closest to the charging stations. I've spoken to several slot holders that are in fact proxies ... maybe an in-law ... or a parent or child. What ever the relationship, many have insured their "spot" in line by having a disinterested (in a Leaf) party make the transaction more certain. Thus Pat Luster who lives out in Podunk Idaho gets his/her car 1st ... because his/her contact out there in San Diego, or in the Bay Area (where charges will be FIRST installed), signed up for the Leaf, at Pat's request.
Heck, for that matter, there may be Leafs going off to other countries ... not just other states. A collateral phenomena may be that the list won't be nearly as long as the numbers look. That's because some may simply not have the money, once it comes time to cough up the $30K +. In any event, I'm sure glad various family members of ours live where they do.
