Not unless they're rich or influential, and not in the Leaf's seat even if
they are.  Here's what the NYT piece says :

"The Leaf prototype that crowds will be checking out is close to what the
production will look like. But the car on display doesn´t run.

"However, a Nissan Versa outfitted with the Leaf´s powertrain will be
available for special drives for the news media, politicians and V.I.P.´s.
No public drives will be offered."

Cool, I can go look at a non-operational sample, and watch some
disinterested local politician drive something else.  Great.

This is a car they say they're going to sell in a year, and they don't even
have a working prototype that potential buyers can drive?  Sounds like
they've hired GM's PR department.  Way to go, Nissan.

I just wish they would take a slight detour on their way from LA to SF
and stop in Fresno.

  We live in a valley with a lot of smog problems. And it is flat.
    OMG, Wikiedia says we are only 100 square miles, you could cover
every one on a single charge.  :-)
    The point is we have a real need for these cars and an ideal setting
and are ignored, (unless they need a gullible court to overturn a law)
