This Party Is Just Getting Started:
Let's See......

On top of all these complaints:
The Ride Quality.
The Sound System.
The Ghosting & Dark Camera-Mirror.
Inability To Set A Maximum Charge Limit.
The Steering Wheel Does Not Tilt Down Far Enough.
The Uneven Center Armrest/Door Armrest.. (Really Nissan?)
No Comprehensive Charging Information In The Vehicle's Software.

Lets Add:
A Seat Cushion Thats Not Wide Enough.
A So Called Automatic Parking Brake Thats Only Automatic Ocasionally.
And Now.. A 12v Battery Thats Seem To Need A Charge From The H.V.B. Constantly.. and reads 11.7v's or LOWER at rest! 😞

But Thats Not Enough...

This Party Is Just Getting Started:
Let's See......

On top of all these complaints:
The Ride Quality.- BEEN GREAT FOR ME
The Sound System.- BEST ONE I HAVE HAD
The Ghosting & Dark Camera-Mirror.- NOT THAT BAD
Inability To Set A Maximum Charge Limit.-WE CAN CHARGE TO 100%
The Steering Wheel Does Not Tilt Down Far Enough.- NO ISSUE
The Uneven Center Armrest/Door Armrest.. (Really Nissan?)- I NEVER PUT MY ARM ON THE DOOR SO I HAVE NO IDEA
No Comprehensive Charging Information In The Vehicle's Software.- CAN'T COMMENT AS I CAN DO WITHOUT

Lets Add:
A Seat Cushion Thats Not Wide Enough.-FITS ME. MAYBE ONLY OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE ?
A So Called Automatic Parking Brake Thats Only Automatic Ocasionally.- NEVER USE
And Now.. A 12v Battery Thats Seem To Need A Charge From The H.V.B. Constantly.. and reads 11.7v's or LOWER at rest! 😞- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS SO I CAN'T COMMENT

But Thats Not Enough...- SORRY TO SEE THIS

I think you should trade it in asap, you haven't been happy since day 1. Did you test drive before you bought it?

Sounds like a lemon with a bad battery. Unfortunately, it happens. Have you taken it in yet? What did the service department have to say?

As far as the steering wheel column not tilting enough, this came up on a review video as well. Some drivers either have a block of view or its not as comfortable for them to drive due to the lack of range in the depth/height.

I watched a review video that stated concern that the steering column didn’t tilt down far enough for their needs, However that review was for an EU right hand drive with an electric steering column. I have never watched or read a review claiming that the manual column left hand drive Ariya did not have a satisfactory range of motion as BlackPremiere is stating here.

What is the build date?
November 22'
It's the Dash Cam.. Should not be siphoning juice when the Nissan is powered down but I believe somehow it is.
That's why I was having Excessive charging of the 12v battery.. getting less than 12v reading across the battery etc..

“The steering wheel does not tilt down far enough?”

Uh? I’m scratching my head on that one.
EH... I'm scratching my head in regards to your statement..
What so hard to comprehend? I LIKE A LOWER STEERING WHEEL 🙄

We're Built Different.
I won $1,000.00 a while back because some so called No It All just knew I was incorrect in stating my "My Wing Span Was Greater Than My Height"

It Was The Easiest Grand I Ever Made In About 3 Mins.. Just long enough for someone to grab a tape measure and prove me correct 😜

Point of that short story is:
I like my seat low.. which creates a Reach Up so to speak to the steering wheel..
The G.M's go lower..
That's why I have my Eye on the SS Blazer EV coming this fall.. It looks to have it all.. (For Me) ;)

The issue is that lowering the steering wheel even lower than allowed means the top steering wheel portion will block the view of information on the instrument cluster.

Different people have different shapes and sizes, as well as preferences. I have my wheel in the lowest position and am happy with that, but it could go lower without blocking the instrument cluster for me. I'm a smaller than average guy.

Yes each has their own preference and needs for seat and steering wheel -- I'm the opposite in my preference -- I like the seat to sit high 😆

I totally get it! We’re all built differently and have grown accustomed to different expectations of comfort. settings.

Tesla maybe?
Self-Drive is just too much in the Tessy.. 15K :unsure:
That's one good thing I can say about the Nissan Unit.. 4K is a BARGIN to have a vehicle that can drive itself.. ;)
But I'll tell you what brother..
This EV9 Teaser has me getting a little Pumped Up:
Kia EV9 Production Version Design Partially Unveiled In Teaser Video - YouTube

I can see myself pulling the EV9 into the gargage.. pouring a Rum & Coke.. sitting there just Marveling at this Futuristic Front End.. This look like something from the future :oops:. I have to see the interior though.. but this could seriously be a "GO" with it's modern charging system, summoning feature, self-driving, self-starting and that 1,000 K-hours of Electrify America free charging.

Are you using your own dash cam? If so, the usb ports are always on. I switched mine to the lighter once i saw i had 48 hours of videos

Yes.. I am.
But.. it is plugged into the 12v outlet.. :)
At least it was..
I'm convinced it the 12v battery. I have a battery monitor on the way tomorrow.. and sadly, a portable jumper ( for a brand new unit :( ) so I don't get stuck anywhere. Nissan says the unit is so new.. they don't even have access to parts yet? As soon as something comes out that's a little more Modern.. and Refined.. with the options that I want its out of here.
