Finally made my purchase!

First i want to thank many people on this board especially Hank for all his help and referrals. Couldn't of did it without you. We definitely need to meet and possibly get others in socal to meet soon.

I'm so excited I locked in my vehicle. It won't be in til next week sometime or maybe a few days but I own it when it arrives. This is my first ev and have been doing research and looking for the right ev for me for over a year. I'm a kia guy so I was trying to wait on the EV9 but that's taking forever plus it looks like it won't be as good as I thought. Also was looking at other vehicles like EQE, fisker ocean, Audi etc but I feel the Ariya is the best of all of them. Although missing a few minor things but no car is perfect but Aiya gives me 95% of what I'm looking for and happy to have it.

Funny i wasn't even considering this or a nissan at all until 2 or 3 weeks ago, but watching YouTube videos on it and hearing all the features and details I knew it was for me. Especially being able to charge to 100% when other vehicles only like you do charge to 80. Always hated the thought of having to do that.

I still have alot to learn about the car, charging etc but will continue to help each other on this board I'm sure throughout the process.

Just fyi I got black exterior with light gray interior FWD Epower+ model.
