LeftieBiker said:It depends on who they are trying to get to buy the Ariya. If it's young families, then yes. If they are trying for older Americans who want comfort and safety, with an overall experience similar to that of an ICE, then they may get them. Older people who aren't healthy and 'Sporty' would probably tend to choose the Ariya over the Y. I think that Nissan's biggest problem in that case isn't Tesla - it's the established manufacturers like Volvo, Ford, and VW who already have legions of brand- faithful people who for one reason or another will be looking for an EV, and are starting to find them in the showrooms of their favorite brands..
You don’t get much older and non-sporty than yours truly. This month I exceeded 3/4 of a century on this earth, 250 lbs, relying on hearing aid for my one good hearing ear, loosing my eyesight and taking 11 pills a day to stay alive. I selected a Model Y over the Ariya. My 75 year old wife wants to buy her a Model 3 to tun around town in.
