I resevered around July 4th so It seems I have a while to wait. Color doesn't really matter to me much so I would surely pick up one that someone cancels. As long as it is loaded of course.

Nader, Welcome! One thing I love about Northern California is that we tend to be more inclusive of people than exclusive, Far as I'm concerned, you're with us!
Good luck on getting your car. I'm beginning to wonder how much my procastinating for 4 days before putting down a deposit is going to cost me in time before I get the little bugger.

I spoke with Steve Sheath again this morning (San Jose dealer store manager). He indicated they are getting 36 customer cars in January. They've got some cars right now in the parking lot (I think it was about 8, and that included 3 cars for the dealership). The plan is to start selling some of the cars to early reservation holders next week. So, if you go by the temporary location (next to Jaguar dealership), you should see cars in the parking lot.

Just drove by Niello Sacramento yesterday and everything looks ready to go. All they need are some cars! Anybody have any idea how many people have reserved? I was late to reserve and have a pretty high number.

any contact info for san jose? I would guess that's the closest to Fresno. I want to call up and see if I can get on the wait list just in case anyone drops out of a loaded passion.

Steve Sheath - see smart1's post above. You can probably get the number off of the SmartUSA site or poke around here for other San Jose posts.

Good luck

I reserved in early July as well, so I don't expect to see the car till the end
of this year. Would have loved to have this car in the 5 week summer we
get in the city, but I doubt it will happen.

Looking forward to reading what the early reservers' experiences will be at the
Mercedes dealer in San Francisco.

got it thanks. I left him a message. By God Steve is British! I'm half British so that makes us practically family!
