An Update:

Seems a new Nissan dealer in the SF Bay area accepted
delivery of about 28 Nissan Leaf (Plug-in-electric) cars the
first of the month (09/01/13) and have sold 24 units thru
Friday (09/20/13).

They have more on order.

Guess there is a demand after all.

There is always going to be the odd entries that lure those looking for
something different. Remember the Edsel?

And FWIW dealers normally "take" delivery of new vehicles that they
ordered. Dealers that accept delivery typically are accepting those units
which they did not order. Read that as they accepted vehicles as a favor
or trade. They accept just about any kind of vehicle that they can get
their hands until they can start building a supply of vehicles that they
have actually ordered. New dealers typically jump through hoops with the
factory until they get their feet on the ground.

A new dealer accepting a load of unique vehicles is not as good as it
sounds.
