I sincerely hope you end up with a quality build as the odds are pretty likely there are a few out there.
Same here d. I’ve owned every single iteration of the Leaf. I was a loyal Nissan fan. I ordered the Premiere on day 2 of orders being open on the website. After seeing people getting their Premiere’s with higher numbers in the same configuration - and me not even getting a VIN or production date I decided not to give Nissan my husiness. Their rollout was a disaster. Their poor local dealership was pissed about it too. My sales guy was amazing- we still keep in touch. Just stopped by to show him my model Y. He also told me that Nissan lost 5 pre-orders at that single location alone becuase of the crappy rollout. Folks bought Teslas, VWs, and Kias. I hope folks get to enjoy their Ariyas.
i get so many looks from Tesla owners. I like to “rub it in” that my panoramic moonroof opens and closes by sticking my hand out the moonroof. Bammm! Take that! How can anyone living in SoCal not be able to use a “functional moonroof”? 😂
The front headlights from the Ariya are way more beautiful than the MY once the lights are turned on in the evening. It glows bright white! It gets so much attention at the traffic stop light. It’s like a Cadillac Escalade headlights.
Lol I can't stand that fixed glass.
My neighbor with top of the line 2022 MY test drove my Evolve + the other day. He definitely thinks it rides more smoothly and more plush than his MY. His only beef was lack of performance on the Evolve (rightfully so). I told him to compare it with Ariya AWD Platinum before judging.
They definitely have the better charging network.
I was at the dog park yesterday. A guy with his Model 3 quickly went over to my Ariya and asked how I liked it. Long story short, his biggest complaint was his M3 fit and finished. He was very surprised how little I paid for my Evolve +….
That's a big reason I bought one now because the Ariya is really good and probably one of the best looking EVs, it's just a matter of time before the stampede starts and everyone is looking for one. I'm surprised at the little interest to this point it has built though.
I call it “the BBQ heat dome”.
This is what I noticed from test driving both, the fixed glass in Tesla and others has a darker tint, while the Ariya has typical sunroof glass. The difference is the darker tint does reject more heat, but the view out of the glass is dark and looking up looked dark instead of seeing the blue sky. The typical glass lets in the most light and heat, it could be an advantage in the winter, since the sun shine can come in and warm up the interior. The view outward looks more natural since the tint level is low, clear ceramic could be added if more heat rejection is needed.
True.
I've said it before. If the Ariya evolve+ e4orce or empower+ were the same price as a MYLR after rebates, I would take the Ariya without hesitation.
the TMY stole everyone's thunder with the big price drop and sudden tax credit eligibility. it's that simple. there's quite a few TMY owners that cancelled their ariya reservations when the TMY price dropped.
For me if I can afford it I get what I want. I don't want to settle and not enjoy something as much or regret my decision because of being cheap.
he wasted money. the glass roof in the MY already has heat rejection treatment.
different strokes. whatever EV I ended up with is just A to B transportation for me (and mostly for the wife), to maximize my solar panel power generation. I'd be in a Bolt EUV if the dealers weren't price gouging.
