Leaf deposit

According to the email I received a few days ago, emails will be arriving between 1 and 6pm west coast time. So you have a bit to wait yet.

 

mine said 1PM to 6PM EDT

 

DOH!!
My bad, mine did to.
I apologize, not so long to wait then

 

sure thing Evan, I would even put a deposit on a Volt (gulp), if GM had the forsight to have such as reservation system (not likely). The first one to market is going to be the winner, and I'm fairly certain that's going to be Nissan and the Leaf, unless some miracle happens for GM, or Tesla, (or Toyota decides to produce the PHEV Prius sooner, not too likely either)

 

Evan: The email is supposed to be sent out in batches, the first going out at 10:00 a.m. pacific time (1:00 p.m. eastern time). Presumable it's to avoid overloading their server that they're spreading it out. Either that, or they want to give a bit of a first chance to the first ones who signed up for the email list.

A thread would be a good idea.

 

They also don't want to trigger any 'junk' mail auto filters.
If you send, say 10000 emails (not sure of the actual number) within a short period of time, an ISP may will filter those out as 'junk' right at their servers.
Won't matter what your spam settings are, it can all happen at their servers.

 

still waiting on mine. i can understand the staggered email invites. this prevents a huge rush on the registration servers.

what i cant understand is my not being the first one notified!!

 

Because they are obviously going to inform me first!

It will be interesting to see if they just send out a link to a website - so anyone who gets it can post it - or if each person gets a unique registration code.

 

I'll post . . . but it'll be a while . . . shortly after I get the money on the line.

ahh yes, if it were so easy....

 

all I can say is, I have eaten a 1/2 medium sized (11oz) bag of peanut butter M&Ms waiting on this email at work. I am as nervous as a schoolgirl at her first dance

BTW, my guess is that Nissan is probably going to send the email to the potentional buyers in the INITIAL markets first, since they are all that matters to them right now... those are the cars getting delivered in December. They probably are targeting the zipcodes of those potential buyers, since they are very real possibilities of getting a car.

 

Interesting that the Nissan/Leaf website has a button for "reserve your LEAF" but it is just a link to reserve online which is a video. Makes one wonder if the sign-up has been activated at all yet.

 

Ahhhhhh!!! There's only 54 minutes left in that 1pm - 6pm EST window and I still haven't gotten my email... I'm gonna die!

 

neither have i and neither has anyone at Leaf's facebook site.

 

I've seen no indications on any message board that anyone has gotten the email. You'd think that if the mail only went out to target markets, that still someone in that market would have posted.
