The Ariya does show you the charging rate, its in the menu system on the left screen, not the right where you looked.

[@peterfessier9780]

If money is not a consideration then I prefer the Ariya, even with inconvenience of slower charging and the worse charging network. It seems like a nice car, but it’s not fantastic, so I don’t think it’s worth the price. I tried to test drive one about a month ago, but when I got to the dealership they said the AWD model wasn’t available for a test drive. It turned out that the 12 v battery was dead. They got back to me a couple of weeks later then they had it fixed and I decided that I was never going to buy it for the price so I passed. I did sit in one and tried the buttons and controls and I really didn’t like all of the haptic buttons. I did test drive a Y and the horsepower was very good, but there was nothing else I particularly liked about it. I’m not a fan of minimalist styling, it just strikes me as being cheap and less user friendly.

[@nipheleim871]

Then buy the Ariya, even though its obvious the Model Y is clearly a better car - better specs (range, speed/charging speed, charging network, costs, safety, software, storage etc). Oh right, you wont because the Ariya is more expensive, so you would be paying more for less 🤭 But yes "you're not a fan of minimalist styling, it just strikes you as being cheap and less user friendly." Then go for the one with more haptic buttons which you don't even like.. lmao xD

[@kajko6868]

@@nipheleim871 You are not paying more for less. You are paying for comfort, quality, and style. But go ahead and buy your ugly generic blobs if you want.

[@trumpetscall8910]

​@@nipheleim871The Ariya has alot og equipment, the tesla don't have or is worse.

[@trumpetscall8910]

I didn't like the fwd Ariya, but I loved the awd so much i bought it.

[@trumpetscall8910]

It does have single pedal drive, it will almost vome to a stop when release gas pedal. I have tried alot of evs, and it's my favorite so far. And it was a long road trip, that really sold me on the Aryia. But it would be nice with faster charging, it also have blind sone detection.

[@kajko6868]

It stops if you use Pro pilot and cars in front of you stop, otherwise it creeps. However, the system is WAY more balanced than in the LEAF.

[@ThomasButryn]

Great review! Thank you

[@marketbuy]

NISSAN ARIYA was ranked #1 (actually tied with EV6) for JD Power Initial Quality survey this past month in June 2023. I was one of the owners who gave Nissan almost 5 stars on everything. The Nissan Ariya should be badged as an Infiniti Ariya. It’s such a joy to drive the Ariya. It’s butter smooth and excellent cabin quietness.

[@lukaswild9908]

Everytime you talked about the paint having a flake in it I immediately thought of that clip with James McAvoy :D

[@celtics2008champs1]

Gjeebs, why didn't you show the extra storage space in the trunk behind the large trunk space or the two small areas on the side in the Model Y?

[@somewhereontheearth4679]

Liked the way you start with the video

[@octaviarose1857]

Thank you. I bought this car and only knew how to drive and park. I installed the level 2 charger at home which makes things easier. I love my car. But the battery time runs down too quickly to me.

[@user-cl2mh1gn8w]

How does it cost to charge

[@dathyr1]

Maybe a different look, but would still go with the Tesla model Y long range. Cost of the Ariya is up near the price of the Tesla models, but since made in Japan there are no Tax credits. Plus I don't know how is the buying/service processes to go through a Nissan dealership vs the easy online process to buy a Tesla vehicle. Watching all videos to get a feel of the different EV vehicles and will get an EV sometime in 2024. Would like tot get the newer version of the Model Y that is coming out. Like you said, when do we jump on the bandwagon to buy one of these vehicles with all the rapid changes going on. Thank you for your video review. Take care.

[@Bay-Smidt]

#Ariya 😎👌with #e4ORCE 🏆

[@paulfowler3416]

There is also a rear sub compartment on the Ariya

[@rwjr1944]

Good comparison.

[@asteel9549]

That digital mirror , like on my Bolt, has a lever to change from normal mirror to digital display. If you adjust it for normal mirror, then flip the lever, you don't get the reflections.

[@mattgogo2937]

I really like the digital mirror on my Bolt and was disappointed Tesla MY didn’t have but I made the quick left scroll wheel my camera button and I turn it on whenever I want and I’ve got a rear view digital “mirror”

[@higherho1540]

It shows you how fast your charger. It’s on the driver screen, select the battery option and it will show you speed your currently taking.

[@user-yi4vz4du9l]

Yeah the Ariya was designed to be practical over the Tesla Y which is not practical for everyone. I priced a Tesla Y 65k and the Ariya was 48k so don't really need the 7k tax credit because you saved 17k over the Tesla Y now prices have been falling but still the Ariya is more practical to zip around tow in and do Uber with. I go to work and home do errands and a single charge will last me almost 2 weeks on my 65kW battery. Our town has 1 DC fast charger with 2 stalls that's it. They say fast, it is about 78kW of speed at the only charger in town. My CO2 savings 11288.85 for 2023 and total energy consumed is 5903.25 and total distance was 17477.47 miles. So in 2023 I spent 617 hours in this car. On avg for the year of 2023 my driving economy was 2.96 mi/kWh based on the fact I really was just getting used to an electric car. In 2024 that is more around 3.9 mi/kWh and it has hit 5.9 mi/kWh.

[@Grant_Aussie]

You can make the frunk powered via aftermarket option.

[@goukwapanzy]

I did not see a comparison of the ADAS systems. Why not? Also, these videos appear to be marketing for your products. Lol!

[@user_z01]

Either someone copied your MY look with that exact wrap on the hood or i saw you driving on a road trip in LA this morning, maybe?

[@Tykoon]

Very similar design to the Chevrolet Equinox EV. One-Pedal-Driving is a Must have. NACS Supercharger is a Must have. FM HD (Hybrid Digital) Radio is a Must have.

[@usmcsaxoki]

I love thinking about how fast my 2013 Volt would charge up at a 250 kW charger... it's about 2.5 minutes.

[@Fraiyia]

Hub caps ?

[@ArmandRoseTV]

EV Go in our area charges by the minute vs kwh. So I avoid it unless it's an emergency.

[@hughn1]

Three years with a Tesla I haven't had to charge the car anywhere but at home in my garage.

[@RinTinTech]

That motorized center hidden glovebox would be good for someone like me, who conceal carries, and if you need to go inside somewhere that doesn't allow you to carry inside. My Model Y glovebox is great, because it has the ability to add a PIN, but it doesn't fit my whole firearm and holster, so I have to separate them to stow it, which is more dangerous.

[@EllenRNPHN]

Great to see the differences. Makes me so glad I have my Tesla Y. One year, no problems. Thanks for the review😊

[@marketbuy]

It’s called pearl metallic paint (not flake). 😅 Ariya is far better for road trips because of the smooth comfortable drive for long trips vs a Model Y (bumpy and more road noises). As for charging, Nissan is working on their new OTA to increase the speed and range along with adding one pedal feature.

[@pzokz]

Yep. I really don't mind taking 10-20 minutes longer on a recharge break, particularly because it's so comfortable to sit in - that makes a huge difference on how happy I am during the whole drive.

[@fred215]

your tesla frunk look so cool

[@kevinw7319]

If the Tesla had a real dealership with real support near me, AND every crash didn't end in a totaled vehicle, i'd buy one :)

[@pkthe2ndhokage188]

is it faster than a Z?

[@markechio]

The Nissan is the nicer vehicle.

[@user-yi4vz4du9l]

The hidden compartment can be used for a laptop. I love my Ariya

[@dotsmada2855]

The look is really nice on the Ariya. I like the interior and exterior, probably more so than the Tesla. I do prefer the Tesla screen as it appears to be laid out much better while the Nissan looks like a typical dash infotainment screen which are usually subpar. The Nissan has an unnecessary start button. As far as range is concerned with the Nissan having less and charging slower that wouldn't bother me too much as I personally do >95% of my charging at home. Sentry mode is a huge plus for Tesla. I wonder how integrated the app is for the Nissan or if it even has one. The biggest negative for me on the Nissan isn't really to do with the car itself, it's having to go to a dealership to buy one. No thanks.

[@stevornrichards1380]

Just go to the dealership and don't negotiate like you'll do Tesla and you'll have a great experience

[@jsasu.3]

when u opened the frunk i was like 😳some interesting choices made by nissan on the interior, some of it seemed to be excessive. MYP owner here and im still good after 2 years/56000 mile of ownership. 1 set of tires and about 4 jugs of bug juice are my only expenses.

[@ryansherman4556]

the Ariya chargers like a fat etron its all about the curve

[@brunoheggli2888]

This amazing,game over for Tesla!

[@colegeful]

You already sold me on the Y when i saw you could lay a golfbag horizontally without angling them or taking out the woods.

[@Gjeebs]

hahaha yea one of my favorite features

[@user-dv7hr6zt7i]

The Ariya also has over the air updates.

[@higherho1540]

And for the federal credit. Until the car is made i. America, we will not get it. But that does not matter and you can go through nissian financing and get 6500 dollar rebate on the spot and I got an extra 1,000 for being a past nissian customer (traded in a nissian altima and got another 9k on top).

[@commuterbranchline8132]

I think this Nissan would have been a great buy in 2018. I’m not sure if it ‘Cuts the mustard’ in 2023, the lack of tax incentive won’t help sales…..

[@marketbuy]

You should compare the features that the Ariya has that Model Y doesn’t have starting with panoramic moonroof that actually opens and closes + an electric sunshade cover. How much is that worth? How about rear spoiler with rear wiper? How about metallic pearl paint? How about Android Auto/Apple CarPlay? How about simple car handles to grab onto? Etc etc.

[@user-yi4vz4du9l]

Yeah the production 2023 model is much better than the prototype and we get a year free charging at Evgo

[@EVMANVSGAS]

I hate how the new primer color cars have gotten popular. It looks like primer, shiny primer.

[@rexjamo]

Interesting difference in the trunk height, should be much better forward visibility in the Y.

[@nicksellier2884]

[@saibtsheb5590]

[@MB031]

Yep Ariya is definatelly better quality, Tesla is cheap made unfortunatelly..

[@loitersquadX]

I hope Nissan considers focusing on the battery and charging the instead of designing and other shit

[@user-uv8mb8dq8c]

Whatever it take I have hard time to find charger station for Nissan, but always easy to find for Tesla. Thats very important for an EV car, unless you have a charger at home but still need to find one outside sometimes. With Tesla I dont need to install the charger at home.

[@hughn1]

We are in the 21st century. Who the hell prefers to have to go somewhere to refuel his car? At home you are the boss, don't have to go anywhere to refuel, watch the game on tv with a cool one!

[@MarkBraggs]

I really like the fascia of the Aria. The rest starts to fall apart a bit. Would be a good $40k vehicle. Lacking a tax credit just kills it.

[@pzokz]

Ariya Engage is $45k, FWIW.

[@hughn1]

I leased my Ariya on the last few days of the year so I qualified for the $7,500 DISCOUNT plus another $3,000 from the dealer plus $500 Veteran from Nissan and 2.9% interest! Returning the '21Model 3 leased early next week. I can't wait!

Tesla is quicker, longer range, charges faster, has a much better charging network, is cheaper in comparable packages and qualifies for a $7500 tax credit. Easy choice. Oh, and only one incorporates everything necessary for autonomous driving.

[@hughn1]

And you can't listen to the radio or hardly have a conversation at 50mph or higher due to the wind and road noise! Three yrs with a Model 3, happy to have now the Ariya! Smooth Ariya on the same roads that the Tesla is.

[@Mabeylater293]

1:47 im sure you also don’t fill your rear trunk up to the max. It doesn’t mean that cargo capacity doesn’t matter. So don’t get all laissez-faire about tesla’s frunk as if it’s no big deal. THE NISSAN NOT HAVING A FRUNK IS A BIG DEAL!!!

[@marketbuy]

ariya offers no frunk but offers very roomy legroom at the front instead. My dog sits on the front floor spread out comfortably. I put my gym bag next to me and can easily reach for it.

[@hughn1]

Three years with the Tesla Model 3 and I have never had to use the frunk. If...it was electrically operated perhaps. Reason for the Ariya lack of frunk is that they moved several parts such as ventilation fans out of the interior to the front in order to keep the cabin quiet.

[@avery8818]

'Promosm' ✋

[@steveallen1055]

I saw an Ariya yesterday and it looked OK. It was also the battleship grey which I'm not a fan of. In the back of my mind I think of Nissan as a brand to buy if you can't afford the car you really want.

@@marketbuy Yea, sales numbers are rather pathetic. I assume they loose a lot of $$ on each and are barely going to make any.

[@marketbuy]

@@TheLastMoccasin Ariya has sold 5000 units YTD. If Nissan can sell 10K in 2023 in its first year, it’s a win. Did you hear Ariya won JD Power Initial Quality survey ranked #1 (actually tied with Kia EV6). For reference, Tesla was ranked at the bottom. I like my Ariya because I get so much attention. Wouldn’t want lots and lots of Ariyas driving around. My Ariya is as unique as a Porsche Taycan. Fact is, I can care less if Ariya isn’t the hottest selling SUV EV. It sure does get a lot of attention with the 2 tone colors and dark tints. A lot of Tesla fanboys vinyl wrapped their rooftop with black wraps. It looks lame. Ariya is gloss black on the entire top.

@@marketbuy Good thing the initial quality is great. 🙄 Warranty work might get difficult later this decade…. If ya know what I mean 🤭

[@marketbuy]

@@TheLastMoccasin You’re welcome to buy what you like. The way Tesla is heavily discounting their vehicles will impact your resale value very much especially now that the new Model 3 will be release later this year or so. Model Y will also get new look next year. BTW, ask how long to get your Tesla service when that time comes. Tesla’s warranty service cost is through the roof.
