Seen in the wild
While driving through The City (My The City), I saw a Nissan LEAF:
Here, I thought they were mythological, like unicorns given Glenn’s difficulty getting one.

I’ve seen ONE Volt in the wild.

I’ve seen ONE Volt as well (in NJ of all places), and a handful of Leafs (Leaves?). I assume since the Nissan HQ is in middle TN, that there are more here than elsewhere.
If Glenn is still wanting one, he might try Nissan of Nashville as they have 3x in stock at the moment. Too bad he can’t drive it all the way home the same day…

Bet I’ll never see one here in the snowy north. How do you jumpstart a car that is nothing BUT a jumpstart?

well look at that, somebody’s got electricity in east tennessee!

Meanwhile, Volkswagen Diesels, which get 50+ MPG, don’t get any Tax Breaks, because they use Evil Fossil Fuels.

I see like 5-10 leaf’s a day. Finally saw one Volt and that was a surprise to me.

I say a Tesla in the parking lot today. Still haven’t seen a Leaf in the wild yet.

lotsa Leafs here in Seattle

I remember when cars were named after things that went fast, like “Impala” or “Mustang”, because they were powerful and fast. Now they are named after things that become superfluous and die in the cold weather, like “Leaf”.

I saw two of them in Austin yesterday.

I saw at least a dozen of them yesterday parked outside the Nevada State Institute for The Inappropriately Serene in Carson City.

There is a leaf that uses the same parking lot downtown.
Everyday it is parked right by the entrance in a makeshift spot that contains one of those chargers.
It’s pretty pitiful if you ask me. Can’t even make it to work and back without a refill.

I see on average about two different Leafs a day (I live in San Jose). Tesla Roadsters and Volts I see more rarely: about once a month (although I see more Roadsters than Volts).

I’ve seen a Volt and a Leaf or two.
But I live in Portland, so there’s always a sucker hippie around.
(I’ve also seen a Tesla, but more importantly I regularly see an Elise.)

There are at least five Leafs that I see floating around my town on a regular basis. But we’re just east of Berkeley and full of pinkos. And there’s one Volt I see from time to time.

I live in Thousand Oaks, CA outside LA and see them all the time. Still dwarfed in numbers by the millions (at least it seems that way) of Pious’, I meant Prius’

I’ve seen lots of Leafs in the wild, but then I live in Nashville and work about a quarter of a mile away from Nissan North America headquarters. I think I can top everyone here since I have actually seen a Leaf tethered to a charging station at a Whole Foods. I will admit that particular Whole Foods is also a quarter mile from Nissan NA, but still…

I live in Boston and work at MIT, I spy neither Volt nor Leaf. While North-Eastners tend to be Liberally-minded in the extreme, they are anally practical in another. The term “cheapskate”, comes to mind.

+1 for YJ!
East TN has electricity? 🙂
October 13th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
I saw Elvis in Dallas the other day.
October 14th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Update: I just saw a Volt (my first) attached to a charging station at Whole Foods. Does that count as a Daily Double?

I saw about 10,000 leafs in my front yard today, If you are looking for a leaf you can take mine but you have to take them all. My back can’t take the raking any more, I may have to go get a gas leaf blower to get rid of them.
