Nissan Ariya

Due to collect our car later!!

Fingers crossed before weekend!

That’s lovely in the copper.

I hope some others were lucky enough to take delivery this week?

I’m sure it was mentioned here somewhere before but something I found out this week was the LEVTI, basically up to 75% reduction in using tolls around the country for EVs!

worth signing up to if you can

Congrats!

we’ve family in donegal so good to hear bout your trip!

is the traffic jam pilot assist avail in Ireland? Haven’t been able to find it?

also is the disclaimer going to pop up every time we turn the car on? Need to hit agree or disagree every time!!

Well ware, love the copper with black contrast. Had ordered an advance in this colour last june for January delivery but told in October that everything delayed ad no guarantee when it would be in. Bought ev6 instead and collected week ago. Very happy obviously but do prefer ariya from outside. Happy motoring

How’s the Ev6 going? If I couldn’t have gotten the Ariya it was on my wish list!

First one I've seen in the wild. It's not a small car..

@digitaldr agree re lack of another storage under central console but in the Evolve, the open/close button storage makes up for it I think, well used in ours. Getting similar battery numbers in our 63kWh.

May I ask a general q. interested in views. I’m looking at Elec/Gas suppliers. Thinking with the ability to set a charge schedule in the Ariya app, that taking a Night Boost package - Elec Irl, at 42c Day, 22c night and 12c 0200-0400 - scheduling a nightly charge (when needed) at 2am-4am, seems good ? Currently using (incl car) well above domestic standard numbers all the comparison sites use. Have a good size solar system too.

Mentally just feels right to charge the car as a nightly top up for reg miles at 12c per kWh is the right call e.g. say 4 charges per mth needed for our reg 1,200km = say 4x63 = 250 kWH and at €0.12 per kWh = €30 pm…give or take. And let the solar take up house slack.

It’s back now ! Thx…was not functioning for an hour although our broadband fine. It picked up the missing hour in the charging update, in car the data was fine, just the app not.

Good luck getting the car today!!

General FYI to the forum, I noted a preheat issue with my Advance that the alarm kept going off. seems the interior alarm is too sensitive. Seems to be an observed issue in some of the UK models too. Nissan Ireland is looking into it but the workaround is to change the interior alarm settings

We have raised the alarm activation concern with our Technical Department who in turn are liaising with the manufacturers. Once we receive a response from the manufacturers with a solution we can revert. As a temporary solution to prevent your vehicle's alarm from activating during the preheating process, I have attached instructions taken from your vehicle's owner's manual on how you can disable the interior ultrasonic sensor on your vehicle.

@jhmolloy - get the car ??

Got it this evening. Will post pics tomorrow when the light is better. But we love it. Was worried about the nappa blue because some of the pics I’ve seen online make it look very bright and a bit tacky. It isn’t at all. It’s a darker almost navy colour and looks great. Will take a few days to work out all the features but looking forward to getting stuck in.

Drove from Kilkenny to Greystones in Wicklow with a stop over in Dundrum, almost all dual carriageway/motorway. Didn’t bother with Eco or ProPilot and had the heat on the whole way. Made it home with 50% of the (63kWh) battery left. Happy enough with that tbh. Pretty much bang on what we expected from it. And given how cold it was out too I don’t think there’s any cause for complaint.

Hows yours going?
