I put in an order for the Ariya AWD Platinum e-Force 87KW with the Nappa leather. The delivery date is supposed to be August 2023. In Quebec Canada I was told there will be a tax rebate of $12K for this EV. I have looked in to some of the other EVs. I have been driving Nissan AWD/4WD SUVs for decades. I am used to how they design their controls, settings, and menus. I like their instrument and control layout because they stay with the classic type of approach. As for the Tesla, I have spoken to owners who have a Tesla for a while. They all tell me they like the performance, but there is a lack of service outlets in the area where I live, long waits for service, and if parts are needed you can wait a long time. The service is very expensive. Tesla does not give out any service info or sell you the parts over the counter in case you would like to service simple problems yourself when out of warranty. The on-body build is lacking quality. I have seen this myself. Pieces sometimes don't line up perfectly, there are sometimes rattles, and other imperfections. The seats are not as comfortable as like in the other types of high end vehicles at even a much lower price point. But, the drivers do like the performance. Tesla charges a huge amount of money to activate the extended range. When buying the Tesla you are carting around about 400 lbs of unusable battery power unless you pay out thousands of dollars more for the extended range. There are also other issues similar to this. Here in Quebec Canada we pay less than $0.10 KW/hr for electricity. If you drive an average SUV AWD EV 12K per year we are looking at less than $30 per month for electricity to charge it at home vs about $360 per month for gasoline in a similar size AWD SUV. I have the 2022 Pathfinder 4WD Platinum fully equipped. I am keeping it for when I need to go to the country on dirt roads, carrying lots of things, or through heavy snow storms. I am going to keep it for the duration of the extended warranty and service contract. As for the other EVs some of them are of a good quality build. It is a compromise for how you like the design, build, and way of operation. Each one has their own pluses and minuses. I would stick with the higher end Japanese or German models if quality and value for the price is what you want. As for any type of vehicle I buy, I would never keep it past warranty. For every vehicle I buy, I also buy the full extended warranty and service contract for 6 years or 100K miles. I drive an average of about 12K miles per year. I trade the vehicle after about 4 to 5 years. I don't want to have to deal with servicing issues. The only things I pay for are breaks, oil for the oil changes, fixing anything from hit and runs in parking lots, and for rubber or plastic type pieces. I would never buy especially a used EV. Depending on the type of use after about 5 to 6 years the batteries will normally degrade. You can end up with a vehicle needing new batteries out of warranty. Very expensive, and not worth it. Lots of very expensive to service technology in all of these cars (gasoline or EV), making servicing horribly expensive if there are problems with it.

Nice

8:39, just an FYI regarding the tax credit. People that reserved it, and signed a binding purchasing agreement with Nissan before the inflation act was signed are still eligible for the old tax credit.

Looks cool. And very affordable. However, I drive from Oklahoma to California two to three times a year. Not worth for long trips. Drive two to three hundred miles and wait hours to recharge is not worth it.

Hate waiting hours at the dealership for an oil change twice a year so I think I'm going electric

From OK to CA and back 2x-3X per year is equivalent to $1500 worth of gas expenses? If so, I will never mind taking a 30 min break for pit stop to do EV charging. FYI, gas in CA is $6+/gal

You do realize that the 7.2 kW AC charger is basically the circuit limit of a 240v circuit on a 30 amp breaker, right? That's pretty reasonable for home charging.

​@@sshlyk7.2 kW is perfectly reasonable. For a lot of people without massive commutes, 110v charging is actually doable. 7.2kW would get you over 200 miles recharged overnight, 11.5kW would get you over 320. So for the vast majority that don't need to drive over 200 miles a day, 7.2kW is reasonable.

Im confused. In Europe it has 22kW AC, so either he is wrong or you get a shitty model in the US which makes no sense

No full one pedal drive…🥲
