I was able to email mine and got a response a few days ago.

After writing to my PA about getting perks from buying the Ariya, he said that the VR is for certain ppl only (duh!) and told me to confirm mailing address for the tumbler ...
I'm (not) patiently waiting for the tumbler
This is me buying as a walk-in. My EVgo email came 1 day after I took my car home. The PA email came 3 days after. I guess my salesman turned in paperwork promptly. I saved him lots of questions by not asking or already known about the process, except the charging. The rest is up to my personal experience, so still learning, chugging along.

Reflecting on my experience waiting on the car for a year and now driving it for 14 days:After writing to my PA about getting perks from buying the Ariya, he said that the VR is for certain ppl only (duh!) and told me to confirm mailing address for the tumbler ...

1. NissanUSA has their head in a bag. The Ariya has so many nice features that they don't push. They really dropped the ball on the trims. Seems like Engage is not engaging..LOL and its too confusing when you compare all the trims. Knowing what I know now, I would have chose the Enpower over the Evolve (but it didn't exist when I reserved the car)
2. Nissan Dealers people from sales, repair staff and management do not know how to sell EVs. Didn't know about the 3 years of maintenance service. Would not discuss extended warranty on the car. I had to push on getting EVgo. Zero information on the home charging (didn't even know about discount on installation and Wallbox). As an EV owner, I have some knowledge. I imagine someone buying an EV for the first time will say no or spend lots of time in the car learning what the car can do.
3. Concern how software will get updated. I come from a place where change logs are included with software. This way you know what they were trying to fix and whether they were successful. As oppose to guessing what was in the update.
4. Can they support the Ariya? I hear in the media this is their flagship. What does that mean? I didn't buy a second Tesla as they have poor repairs with my M3. Nissan has plans for more EVs but will it be another 10 years before the next car/truck comes out? This was a roll of the dice which I accepted. Hope the Ariya is low maintenance like my M3.
I got the VR but no tumbler. Oh, also no PA.
To sum it up. Love the car not the company. That sound so much like my other EV.
Just now I got a delivery for the tumbler, 3 days after sending email.. they're surprised me ..it's white color, Yeti one... I'm changing my mind, keeping it ...

They're already doing it. You got bots answered all the time. Maybe with chatGPT it will say "I loved you more, leave your wife for me " often...Pretty soon I think it'll be ChatGPT answering the phone... Not sure if that'll be worse or better though.
That's the same guy as my PA same handwriting that makes me think it's from machine
same handwriting that makes me think it's from machine 
That's also my PA. I suspect there's just the one...That's the same guy as my PA
At least you know it wasn't AI at work here. Old fashion printing....LOLThat's the same guy as my PA

back in college, my classmates often said that my lab report like computer printing
