The biggest issue with the Ariya has always been the price. It's not good next to the competition at $50k-$60k, but at $250 a month, it's not competing with those cars anymore, and suddenly it's awesome.

She is one hell of an ambassador for Nissan EV!

[dougabbott]

"Engage" is the base model. She has the "Engage + E Force" not the base model but two up. It has 2 motors and has the upgrade paint and the bigger battery and and
You can set the "E" pedal to be on all the time in the settings.That's what I did.
It does battery preconditioning it is in the settings.

There is nothing like watching the excitement of person getting their first EV. It was also cool seeing Kyle's excitement about her new EV as well. He tried to tamp it down but it was there. Good one Kyle. All the best.

Tell your friend she can save her estep mode in the settings so it will always stay in the same mode you leave it in. The default setting just has estep off every time you start the car.

250 a month for an AWD EV can't be beat by much! Congratulations

Good discussion on points about a lease that are negotiable. Viewers, take note!

She killed it on the incentive and no payments for months. . I hope NC step it up so i can splurge on the EV i want..

All Ariyas equipped with ProPilot 2.0 (changes from green to blue icons which signify hands free driving) have two fins on the top of the car. One fin means the Ariya has just lane keeping/distance keeping (green) which requires hands on the wheel. ProPilot 2.0 activates on its own when it travels on highways that have been pre-mapped. Using ProPilot 2.0 at night changes the ambient light along the dashboard from green to blue, which is really lovely.

She has awesome screen presence- you should hire her for one of your channels!!!

[cbotten]

I love the description of the "boom room" action at the dealership. Some things never change...you are hungry, almost fed up and they have one last offer to take to their manager...classic. 🤣🤣 Some things never change. Lacey is great, here's to hoping her EV journey is a happy one.

The aria is a beautifully styled car. Saw one on the road. Couldn’t stop staring

Congatulation on your Nissan Ariya. You made intelligent choices over other EVs such as Tesla Y, ID4, Kia, or Hyundai. Ariya is made with a new high-tech assembly plant in Japan. I test-drove it a year ago; I loved it. I love the exterior and interior designs, and your monthly lease payment is fantastic. During your lease, contact years to come, enjoy Ariya, and have a wonderful time. PS: You've made an intelligent decision to lease EVs. All EVs are not worth owning due to the early phase of battery technology. I lease a German EV now. But Ariya is great adorable quality made EV!

Nicely done, that's a great deal she landed! That's a helluva lot of standard features for a "base" trim. 280 miles of EPA range is fine. I think it charges at like 135kW max but should have a decent charge curve for road trips. Kyle's right, at $250/mo that's basically a free car for most people with home charging. If Lacey can get her daily charging done at her bf's garage or around town, she's golden.

[JakeRichardsong]

Was sceptical at first. She chose the right car for her. $250 a month for 12, 000 miles a year and no gas!!

[madmotorcyclist]

Nissan cars are built tight. My 2011 Nissan Leaf still has no rattles or squeaks. I'm holding out for an Aptera as my next EV.

[ErvinKortsLaur]

Solid choice! ✌️
No negative remarks about this model.
Coming from a Tesla nerd.

[shaynshaiking]

Bought Evolve+ e-FORCE; blown away by the quiet, comfortable buttery smooth ride, seat sinking g-force power when you need it and all the tech. Best decision ever.

More HP and Torque than Tesla Model Y LR and Mercedes EQE

[DouglasJMark]

Thanks! Really great meeting Lacey. Wonderful story of your meeting Kyle and the team, your advocacy, converting to BEV, and choosing a unique one of your own. Fun driving too… especially finding out you have lane centering, a comfortable ride, and handling that only Kyle can demonstrate with fun (He’d have scared me too 😮) BTW, Ariya’s styling is my favourite non-Tesla. I hope you convert your friends to driving BEVs too. Lotsa love to all ❤❤❤

Those Colorado incentives are amazing!
