Been waiting impatiently for the Ariya to come out especially since it'll be my first EV. Seeing other EVs already on the road like the Ioniq 5 and EV6 make the wait seem even longer but at least someone at Nissan's social media team seems to be trying to keep reservation holders happy. Got a little care package from them last week - nothing huge, but a Nissan mug, shirt, various odds and ends, and a canvas Ariya-branded tote bag aren't bad freebies so I had to share and write about it on my blog. I doubt they sent it to me because of my little-known car blog either since they responded after a random comment I made online that I had a reservation and was really looking forward to getting mine.

Here's my blog post in case anyone care's to read it: Link

Yup, same here with the Rylee hookup via social media. Although my bundle was a tad lighter (written note, shirt, mug, tote) than yours, it was highly appreciated, nonetheless!

That's great that other reservation holders are getting freebies too! The extra stuff I got was nothing huge but some of it was amusing. I was wondering what the little silver ball was before I took it out of the wrapper. At first I thought it was some sort of paperweight but it felt light for that and it turned out to be lip balm lol!

Wow. That's dope. Can't say that I have received anything. Is this from the dealer you have your reservation with?

I think it's because they have a social media presence ...

Oh, ok. Thanks.

It's not from the dealer. I just commented on one of Nissan's videos about the Ariya on YouTube that I had a reservation and was looking forward to getting mine. You can certainly try it yourself - I don't think Nissan are just singling out people they think have a big social media presence so the next time they post a new video on YouTube for the Ariya just make a comment on there and see if they respond - preferably something constructive of course lol. Not sure they'd send anything if someone posts "Tesla roolz!" or something like that

As a reservation holder I have yet to receive any “gifts” from Nissan. However I did receive an email from Nissan this morning inviting me to test drive the Ariya next month on July 24 in Tacoma, Wa. I would be surprised if the model I will be test driving is an e4orce model as I reserved, but Nissan did indicate that the model available for the test drive does have pro pilot 2.0.
I will post photos (if allowed) and my impression(s) post test drive.
