Welcome to the forum @James Abbe! Do you need AWD for bad weather or are you interested just for driving dynamics? Also, did you consider any other EVs before placing your reservation?
Placed reservations
Placed reservations (note the plural) for FWD and AWD.
Since I could not make up my mind between FWD and AWD, I ended up placing 2x deposits.
FWD: I saw some reviews stating the Northern Lights Metallic looks really nice in person (Only availablef for PREMIERE), so I placed a reservation for this trim/color.
AWD: I will go with this if I want the sub 5 sec 0-60 and hopefully better driving dynamics.
I've driving Nissan Leaf since 2014 (on my second one), although not perfect, I still like the car. Ariya will be a larger car and hopefully much better in all aspects.

Yes, I have a reservation for Lucid Air (Pure), just because it seems to be the most advanced EV currently available. However it's a bit too large (I currently drive a Leaf) and somewhat expensive. I will make up my mind after test driving both, in the end I still have almost a year to decide. Mainly placing the reservation to be early in the queue.Welcome to the forum @James Abbe!

Also ID.4 was on my list but canceled my reservation (pre-order) after test driving the RWD edition early this year. As for Ariya AWD I just wanted to see how a quick acceleration feels. I've always compared EV to Tesla and at least wanted to own a quick car once. Maybe in the future I will realize it's not necessary but I do like the acceleration from stop from my Leaf and just want to try something more powerful. As for weather, no, I leave in CA and don't need AWD unless I drive to Lake Tahoe in the winter, which I have another car for.
