    Good episode... but jeez Russell. Really jumping all over Nissan aren't you? I think you are being a bit harsh. I was supposed to get my car in late December and now I'm scheduled for a January delivery. Not a big deal to me. I can't even get ahold of my 240V EVSE yet anyways. I read that they are delivering a few to customers in December (but not many cars.. true). If it slips a month or two. it's sucks, but not a huge deal. They have started production.. it's just a matter of who they are sending them to first (I think they are delivering most of the first batch domestically first). If they delay the 1st delivery of cars to the US customers by 6 months.. that is a bigger story. Well that is just my opinion.

    Thanks for the podcast... catch you next week.

    The podcasts seem to go so quickly that I saved up the last three to listen to during the next treatment. Can't wait to "see" you guys and my girl. ;)

    Funny thing is ... NO one, including Nissan is saying how big or small the December 2010 Leaf shipment is anyway. The only official Nissan statement regarding Leaf production is that the first (not counting Lance Armstrong, who already took delivery) Leaf delivery will be in made ONE WEEK ... December 11, 2010. I can't WAIT to see THAT media circus. Whether there'll be 5 or 500 additional Leafs delivered during the remainder of the month is simply rumor.

    BTW ... how's that electric Volt production delivery schedule moving along? ;) Oh wait, electric? Never mind. 30 or 40 miles of EV? Now THAT's what you call range anxiety. :p
