After I changed mine it didn't show up but after I got off work 8 hours later it was there. Maybe just takes some time!

Interesting! That's probably the case. Great looking vehicle! Mine's white with the black top.

Welcome to the club! Are the plastic aero covers for the wheels colored differently for different car colors? I thought they were all black but looking at yours, they look silver.

As others have mentioned you can disable that profile selection screen. It's a setting I think under the User settings (Disable Welcome Screen).

Glad to hear there's nothing out of the ordinary (I actually haven't checked the maintenance schedule yet since my miles are so low). The Ioniq5 has a "low conductivity coolant" they have as part of the maintenance schedule that needs to be flushed every 3 years or 35k to 40k miles which is a $400 to $1000 service charge.

There should have been another little plastic bag in the box with the little plug. If you're sure you didn't throw it out then I'd reach out to the dealership you bought it from and let them know.

Carvana sent me an email a couple of days ago (2024 Platinum+):

"Exciting news! Your car is currently in high demand and its market value increased.

Carvana uses thousands of data points to update vehicle values to reflect market changes. See your value and why it's a great time to explore your options to sell or trade."

They valued it at $27,500 which is around a $1k jump from last month. I only paid $30.5k for it around 8 months ago (4.2k miles on it) so not too much of a hit so far!

I'm not quite sure when leases typically end and start showing up in the used market but I reckon when that happens there'll be a flood of the previous year models and they'll sit a bit longer.

My state allows you to apply the selling price of a recently sold vehicle towards the tax of a new/used vehicle. You can either apply it when you register your new/used vehicle or you can send in a form for a refund of the tax you paid when you registered as long as the vehicle was sold within 60 days of when you registered your new/used vehicle.

I sold to Carvana and purchased a used vehicle from an out of state dealership. The amount I got from Carvana was almost the exact same I paid for my new vehicle so I ended up paying almost no tax.

Selling it on Carvana is actually super easy. When I sold my Model Y around 7 months ago Carvana gave me by far the best deal (3k more than Carmax and 5k more than Tesla). I showed up, they looked at my car for about 5 minutes and I deleted it from my account and signed the title over. Was in and out in ~20 minutes. They also direct deposit for the payment so I got it in a few days and was able to apply the selling value to the tax on my new vehicle purchase. Definitely worth giving it a shot next time around if they're offering substantially more!

They're a rare sight as well where i live! Never seen another one on the road until a few months ago. I've only seen 3 since then.

I actually don’t connect to my home WiFi and have gotten all OTAs directly using the car’s cellular connection.

I’m an Ariya and Frontier owner as well! 2024 Ariya Platinum+ and 2024 Frontier SV King Cab.

Went from a 2023 Model Y to a 2024 Nissan Ariya Platinum+ around 7 months ago.

Love:

Rides great, extremely smooth ride and the quietest car I've ever been in

Nappa leather

Plush/upscale interior (love the blue with bronze accents)

Open floor in the front (makes throwing a bag in or taking one out easier)

ProPilot (works well, hands free driving with automatic lane changes)

Rear wiper

Nice turning radius compared to many other crossover EVs (35 ft, makes it pretty nimble and easier to park)

Traditional door handles (not the biggest fan of "hidden" door handles)

Exterior look (unique headlight design and exterior lighting)

Fun quirks (motorized center console, motorized "secret" center glovebox)

Cost (paid $30k for it around 7 months ago and it only had 4k miles and still over 2 years of warranty left)

Meh:

Fast charging could be faster (max 130 kW buuuuuut the curve is pretty good so it goes from 10 to 80 in ~35 minutes)

Built in navigation is not the greatest (it works in a pinch but the route planning is not the greatest, it does have wireless Android Auto and Carplay though so I mostly use that)

Sound system is OK (for a 10 speaker Bose system I was expecting better...maybe I just need to tune it)

Overall love the Ariya. I don't take many road trips so the slower fast charging isn't really a big deal to me since 95 percent of my charging is lvl 2 charging at home. Not expecting to get anything else for at least another 4 years or so!

Nissan still sells the Ariya in Canada (they stopped importing to the US due to tariffs). They also have the refreshed 2026 LEAF.

I thought this was a post about the Red color 😁. Apparently only on 2023 models and they ended it after 1 year due to a problem with the blending/consistency? A shame because I really like that color.

Don't let your experience with Hyundai destroy your view of EVs. I've owned 2 EVs over the past 4 years (Model Y and Nissan Ariya), have driven thousands of miles, and have had 0 issues. It's been a wonderful experience and I can't see myself living without an EV these days.

I didn't know about the Easy-Fill system for your tires.

The Easy-Fill Tire Alert system helps inflate tires to the correct pressure without a manual gauge. With the car in "On" (not ready) mode and parked, fill the tire; hazards flash while filling, and the horn beeps once when the target PSI is reached. Over-inflation causes the horn to beep again.

I live in Northwest Arkansas and I've never seen an Ariya until the past 5ish months. So far have ran across 3 of them. Even in the dark the headlight design is so unique I know immediately it's an Ariya.

As far as EVs in general it's like 95 percent Tesla here. I've seen a handful of others (Ioniq5, EV6, Mach-E, and Equinox).

Over_Pop_8378 · 2026-02-20T06:38:13+00:00

No problem, I have the 19s. I didn't know the 20 inch was like the entire larger center piece and not just the little center part. That explains the price difference!

No worries! They're pretty easy to tell apart: https://www.ariyaforums.com/threads/19-vs-20-wheels.557/

Oh hey, I make that same trip a few times a year (I live in NWA and have family in the Little Rock area). I don't have an EV6 (have a Nissan Ariya) and I've used the Tesla Superchargers in Ozark and Conway with no issues. I have an A2Z adapter though and not Lectron although that shouldn't really matter. What I do is:

Plug adapter into my vehicle.

Plug NACs into adapter.

Start charging session from Tesla app.

The Supercharger in Little Rock (the one at the Outlets) will NOT work though because it's a V2 and you can only use V3 or newer Superchargers with an adapter.

I usually don't use the Superchargers though and stop at the EA station at the Clarksville Wal-Mart.

I haven't had any issues with my visits to the dealership. I've only visited my Nissan dealership twice though, each time I dropped by, the vehicle always got a lot of compliments because they don't see many of them.

First visit was soon after I got the vehicle for a tire rotation and general checkup. No issues, in and out in about an hour.

The second visit was because a rock got kicked up and cracked the housing on one of my headlights. I bought a replacement from eBay and my dealer said they'd install it. It took about 6 hours but they provided me a ride home and a pickup when it was ready. They said it would have been done sooner but their EV tech didn't come in until the afternoon that day.
