Does Anything With This Company Work Correctly?
You set the charge timer to a certain time.. and it chooses a DIFFERENT time!

After you hit save it can take a while to update in the app. I've been using the charge timer for two months without issues. The app doesn't always reflect whether it's charging correctly, but if I walk out and look at the car at the appropriate time, it's always been charging at the right time. Granted I have mine start early enough in the evening that checking isn't unreasonable. I wouldn't be keen to get up at 2am and check.

I don't get it... I thought he loved his premier or something. I made a comment about the premier (which I also own) wasn't worth the upgrade over the Evolve+ since it was mostly software changes and he defended its value. But he hates and is annoyed with his car? 🤷‍♂️

Actually, I'm eager to see what he finds next. All of this is not being lost on those of us yet to commit our dollars to the Ariya. Mine are still in play; but what I wished would be a great choice (and value) in an SUV-style EV, increasingly appears to be something a bit less.

I'll decide once I'm sitting in it at the dealership.

If you have the tax credit available to you I think it is certainly worth a look. I initially felt disappointed in the tech compared to my Tesla, but the ride and comfort has grown on me. I recommend skipping the Pro Pilot software upgrade and putting the money towards AWD instead. FWD is a little slow.

AND TO TOP IT OFF.. I HAVE A LEVEL 2 CHARGER IN THE GARGAGE AND IT'S SHOWING OVER 13 HOURS TO FEED IT 11% OF JUICE!!!
THIS RENULT SOFTWARE IS 👉PATHETIC👈.
$50,000.00 - $60,000.00 dollar vehicles and this is the bone they throw out?

I don't stick my head in the sand.
Inferior is Inferior.
The issues with the Nissan / Renult product are A FACT.

I just thank goodness I'm in a position to move on to another product when supply arrives.

The Best Thing To Do is..... simply Don't read my threads.. If the facts bother you that much.

If it just started charging 5 minutes before you checked, it wouldn't have had time yet to calibrate how long the charge will take. (Should it have? Can't say. Just saying how it seems to work.

)

Out of curiosity, what time zone are you in, and how close is the next time zone? Do your phone and car agree on the current time? I live out in the sticks and use Starlink for Internet access. For a long time Starlink would place me in a time zone other than where I am (usually it would place me in Chicago), so anything with the time zone set by my apparent location on the Internet wouldn't be set to the right time (and I'd get very peculiar restaurant suggestions from Google - heh). Fortunately, SL made a change recently that seems to have fixed this.

Why would you charge if you're already at 89%?

Used car prices are dropping like a rock across the board. It’s not going to be like COVID days when you look to trade the Ariya.

I have totally gotten hooked on ProPilot 2.0. The other day in pouring rain, I'm calmly driving on the freeway with my hands on my lap. Driving in LA it’s a godsend. The AWD might make more sense if you live in a place with “real weather” which Californians don’t have. The fwd pickup is okay by my personal preference.

Hmm…. I’m not finding the FWD to be “slow” at all. But admittedly I haven’t driven an AWD EV yet. I have owned many AWD vehicles in the past and was a little concerned about giving up that feature. Haven’t missed it at all. Very pleased with the responsiveness and agility of my FWD Premiere.
I think the ProPilot is great if you do a lot of highway driving. I don’t, but it is pretty cool to use it those rare times when I’m making a long trip on the interstate.
You’re right—important to weigh the features based on your intended use of the Ariya.

Is 86% charge equal 229 range? Or was this also not accurate. My Tesla model 3 SR+ at 88% has a range of 219 (200 mile real range). The Ariya is rated longer range than SR+ but it seems only marginally better.

I did a extended test drive this weekend in an Ariya and loved the car. It had a smooth ride and cabin was quiet. Was concern with power but getting onto freeways was a breeze. Now doing my due diligence whether to take delivery of my reserved Evolve+. Two main thing holding me back, slow charging (this was going to be the roadtrip car) and no one pedal driving. Will have to add range issue to my list of why not to buy. I may chose to wait.

Nissan79, in the same position as you. My dealer has offered to get an Evolve+ from inventory as my car is due in the month of April. They even had a Red Enpower that he would sell me. So I'm looking at making a decision this week. By the way, the Ariya is classified as a wagon instead of a SUV. That may be a good thing for insurance purpose as some states its a little lower in premiums. Look for the $995 installed option of lighted kick plate. My $49K reservation MSRP ended up being $53K when you add kick plate, floor mats and destination charge.

You’re right—important to weigh the features based on your intended use of the Ariya.

Nissan configured the torque on the Ariya to be much more gentle, so you don't get that instant acceleration off the line that EVs have a reputation for. Once you're up to about 30mph, the pickup is better. Its noticeable if you compare it to other EVs (RWD or FWD) which have ~5 second 0-60 times, which the AWD Premier will have.

The ProPilot 2.0 hands free feature is convenient if you travel on the mapped highways a lot. Even though I don't, I thought it was fine until I saw it required a subscription after 3 years to continue receiving the mapping updates. Instead of paying indefinitely for a feature I seldom use, I would've preferred AWD and the faster 0-60 which I would use. ProPilot (not 2.0) will still track within a lane and monitor distance to the car in front of you, it just requires keeping your hands on the wheel. Both will alert if you stop paying attention to the road.

That number seems quite low. My 86% gives me 287mi of range. Range is calculated on driving habits, but that's a significant difference.

Thanks for pointing out the difference. I hadn’t studied on that. I did watch a video demonstration of the 2.0 before trying it!

Its a little long (11mins), but this video from Nissan goes over both in good detail:
