What the Frak?!

Well, things just keep getting more and more bizarre! I am supposed to be driving my Nissan Leaf by now. In fact I should been driving it for more than a week, and yet, not only do I not have my car, but I don't even have a confirmed date for delivery of my car!




I have been informed by Nissan Ireland that the issue is administrative, and that the vehicles for the first eight customers are in the country, tantalisingly close to their new owners. But until this "administrative issue" has been resolved, we ain't getting it!

These kind of delays are to be expected, especially with new technologies. But they are also the kinds of things that should be avoided, especially with new technologies. If your goal is to encourage people to adopt a new product, one that, in the general public's mind, has not been fully tried and tested, then you should not be giving them reasons why they shouldn't try it. Unreasonable delays and unclear communication does not help to promote paradigm-shifting transportation ideas. So Nissan Ireland, get into "Drive" gear pretty damn quickly and sort this out, in particular for your committed early adopters. Like you, they are taking on a very high risk. Don't be leaving them stranded (like some sort of old style electric car!) when they need you most.
