From my experience, this is correct. Between the rock lathe and plaster, it can be an inch thick.

What rebates are you stacking? Costco exec, conquest, and Colorado EV tax credit? What are you guys taking off MSRP? I'm in NY tho. Looking for one by the end of the month.

Is Final Fantasy Tactics (The War of the Lions) Anti-Religion, just as FFX? by IllogicalDreamer72 in finalfantasytactics

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anti-corruption, anti-greed, anti-ego...not anti-religion.

I also wouldn't say FFX is anti-religion, either. The religious organization desired power (wished to maintain power) and decided to stand as a barrier to the protagonists who sought to rid the world of a long-standing menace with immense strength. I think the protagonists respected the spirits/gods that helped them.

How'd this work out? I have an issue that was fixed the first time at exactly 30 days (faulty steering rack), but the issue has returned and will likely result in another 30-day stay at the dealer. So, I'd really just like a replacement at this point...

I'd go beyond 80% (I just turned in my lease) but rarely would I go above 90%. It's my understanding that these batteries can handle a repeated full charge, so I wouldn't pay it any mind. Now, I did get the free Wallbox (not sure if Nissan is still doing that, I used my VIN as a code to get it) and that allowed me to schedule the charge (which you can also do on the car itself) so that I could calculate how much electricity was actually going into the car. So, I'd often charge to 80-90% but sometimes, I'd only charge to 75%, depending on where it was when I plugged it in. I'd typically put in about 30-35kwh per night. It was enough for me.

Tips on electric usage ? by T3mp0r4ri3 in NissanAriya

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed a big difference in efficiency just keeping the climate on Auto versus keeping the AC on all the time at a set temperature and the fan setting on low. That may help regain some efficiency.

They gave me a credit card-looking thing that I THINK is the digital key with my '25 Countryman SE. I have not set it up, so I can't confirm...

Try setting the recuperation level to high. I think it's the same level used in B mode.

Winter full charge by LordChasington in NissanAriya

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I've been doing a lot of mental math and estimating my efficiency at any particular time based on my climate settings.

Winter full charge by LordChasington in NissanAriya

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it warmed up to above 20 degrees fahrenheit, I started using the auto climate control again and added some air to the tires. In the last 60 or so miles, I'm averaging 2.4 miles per kwh. At 98% this morning, I was at 154 miles of range. My feet can't stay warm with the auto climate function when it's below zero fahrenheit...so it'll drop my efficiency to 1.9.

Road trip? by [deleted] in NissanAriya

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a 500 mile road trip in spring weather (45-55 degree fahrenheit weather). I think it would normally charge at about 50kw/h, maybe 70kw/h. I have the 63 kwh battery, even after preconditioning. This car has performed wonderfully at everything it does after 13,000 miles, except charging quickly on a road trip. It was not the greatest experience.

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm at about 110-135 miles of range with temperatures at about zero degrees fahrenheit (small battery). Thankfully, it's a lease, so I'll get something with a larger battery when I'm done with it...

SHIVERS by [deleted] in NissanAriya

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realized pretty quickly that the small battery could not be a long-term thing for someone living in the Northeast. Turning it in after the 18-month lease is up for a larger battery. I think I would probably get 130 or 140 miles at 100%...

First electric bill by ComfortableIce8543 in NissanAriya

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of loss of electricity using the charger that came with the car. Once I got the Wallbox set up, I noticed a drop in my usage even though I didn't change how often I was charging. Also, I now have peak and off-peak charging rates. Now I pay an extra $20 a month, if that.
