That's weird. I heard they already had 20,000 on preorder :
Nissan reaches 20,000 Leaf pre-orders; will stop taking reservations today *UPDATE — Autoblog Green - Sep 23rd 2010

We're waiting for Nissan to confirm or deny this, but it looks like anyone still sitting on the fence about ordering a Leaf or not will soon notice that they've been sitting on barbed wire and had better jump down to one side or the other, pronto. According to a post on My Nissan Leaf, Nissan is going to shut down Leaf reservations today. But it's for a good reason. Here's the text, supposedly taken from a Nissan email that's going to go out later today:
Nissan aggressively anticipated reaching its goal of 20,000 consumer reservations by December 2010 and we are excited to announce that we have reached this goal 3 months ahead of schedule! Therefore, on 9/23/10, Nissan will shut down the reservation system in order to focus on providing the best level of customer service and premium ownership experience to those who have already reserved.

Now, a reservation doesn't mean you will buy one. I wonder what the stats are on forking out $100 to reserve as opposed to paying the $20K (after incentives) or leasing the car. I would guess 50% will actually buy, so that would make 10K sales for the year.
