Let's take a step back for a minute and refrain from turning this site into the ***** session that occurs over at zcar.com frequently. I preordered in February and have been waiting longer than a lot of you (less than others), but we're only making it harder on ourselves by trying to nail down the specific date on which we will get our cars. They just don't know that information yet. I'm just as anxious as anyone to get it but I'm pretty sure most of us could wait a month before grilling our dealers or NNA about the arrival date. It sounds as if most of our cars will be here in mid-to-late September anyway, so start getting ready for it in early August (loans, etc.).

You gotta be kidding, this is a production line ... schedules and through put are the life line of assembly lines. Parts need to ordered, shifts scheduled... there must be some idea. I believe that it may be complicated but there have got to be some dates around!
Besides Nissan starte this pre-order thing and should have anticipated that people would want to know.

Does everyone want to know the time of day it's coming to the dealership 2 months in advance?

BTW- you've probably tried this already- but
I called my worthless salesman yesterday to try and get that R, S, or T # and lied...
I said, "Hey Mr. Dumbass, I just got of the phone with Nissan Headquarters and they said that a few days ago some tracking #'s were assigned to your pre-orders and that you should be able to pull them up on you inventory person's computer."
He said "Really? hmm....let me go in there and talk to our inventory guy"
A couple minutes later, he got back on the line and said, "You're right your # is T30..... and it ways expected delivery is October 31 +- 10 days."
He then said that all 7 of their pre-orders were in the computer as well and that he would call the other 6 to let them know their approximate dates.

wooglin, isn't it sad that in this "information age" it still gets down to the dealer knowing (or more importantly, not knowing) when information is available for the customer? I believe this is the heart of the emotions expressed here in the past 24 hours.

I see what you're saying...it seems that it wouldn't be hard to send pre-order people emails or something, in hind sight. I really think they had no idea of the 'enthusiasts' desire. Nissan's new to this whole pre-order thing, but even more so, DEALERS aren't used to customers calling inventory guys about order #'s and such.
The recent post from Jay with the Nissan letter illustrates this. They'll work on the communication- hopefully sooner than later.
