Amazing, I have watched several Ariya reviews and none went into the depth of demonstration of ProPilot and showing the differences in this light. Have had a Nissan Leaf for 9.5 years now and seriously considering the Ariya as my next pair of wheels.

Give this guy a raise. What a great walk through man.

Loving my new Ariya !! Love all the options and drives nice ! Super happy , inside looks way better then Tesla , love the openness , the moving center and secret compartment ! The screens are situated in a perfect spot to where nothing is in the way and easy to get to . Wood grain with buttons is a great touch making it look expensive! And omg the self driving and parking is amazing, beyond what Tesla can do !

Rented a model 3 for 3 weeks while my car was in the shop and thought it was nice, but the ariya seems better overall. Need to give it a test drive.

All Teslas comes standard with Auto Pilot software and all Teslas come standard with the Full Self Driving (FSD) computer. The FSD software is optional and fairly expensive to buy ($15k) but can be subscribed to on a monthly basis ($199 per month). The Enhanced Auto Pilot is a $6000 upgrade for very little more additional than auto lane changes and Smart (read stupid) Summon which is a silly crude party trick that requires constant monitoring because it’s not good. The Standard included Tesla Auto Pilot is all you need and works great on virtually all marked roads. The Tesla software is amazing, the Ariya has quite a way to go to just match the standard features of any Tesla.

Ariya to me looks way better. But man Tesla super charger is unmatched right now. Let’s see when is opened up.

Great comparison man. I have a Model 3 but I think the Ariya would be great for my wife once she's ready for a new vehicle.

Ariya doesn't have 7500 tax credit. That's the deal breaker for me

Kinda looks like he has an issue with Tesla. Example, you do not need a physical key to unlock and lock the doors. The glove compartment in the Tesla is easily accessible. You can use your voice to open the glove compartment. Last thing he failed to mention is that the Tesla is a more efficient car when it comes to energy usage as you get more miles/kw then the Aria. Don’t get me wrong,the Aria has features that the Tesla does not have but let’s just give the facts.

Thanks for informations.The review was more clear and understandable than others

you forgot to mention when the Tesla crash it burns into frames and the Ariya has not done that yet 🤣

You didn’t talk at all about how the Tesla has walk up and walk away, locking using your phone key. That overcomes most of the things that you downplayed about the Tesla and the way it locks and unlocks.

Great overview of both cars 👍🏾

One thing not mentioned is the suspension on the Y. I've had mine for 2 years and hate the rough ride. I even bought after market overcoils to try and soften it but it still feels like I'm riding on a wooden roller coaster.

This is a great example of Nissan going back to their roots with design and culture. The subtle design blend rather well with no compromise. I wish I could get the aryia 😢 husband isn’t ready for the ev market yet. We have fast chargers in my small town in north Iowa. Making the switch would be easier then what he makes it.

Don’t listen to a guy who works for “Nissan” and would recommend Nissan car. Downplayed MY etc. you don’t always need card key to open Tesla car every time. You only need to do the initial setup then after that, you just need to have your phone with you to enter the car. Also Tesla’s simplicity interior design to control everything from the main screen, but you only need to setup once. You can also use “voice control” in a Tesla to control things but he never mentioned that.

I'm a past Nissan owner and a current Tesla owner and you lost me when you said you had to use the keycard to lock and unlock the Model Y. Clearly your comparison was going to be bias because everyone knows Teslas unlock and lock automatically when you walk up to or away from them. The keycard is only a back up if you don't have your phone. If you're going to be bias don't do a comparison video. Just promote what is a very nice EV from a well established auto maker.

Model Y is larger inside/outside while being lighter weight. Model Y has longer range, better efficiency, over twice the charging speed on DC chargers while being $10k cheaper with similar trims PLUS qualifying for federal EV rebates as its Made in USA. I don't see how Nissan will be able to sell more than a handful of these to ill-informed consumers. Big miss by Nissan. Currently $53k for Model Y LR minus the rebate so you around $46k. You would have to fully load the Ariya to even get it in the same realm on range/AWD/features and it would still have less range and significantly less power. Just seems like an Ariya is a compromise on every facet while paying more for it? Don't understand the value proposition.

Even before watching this, I'm going to guess the Nissan dealer likes the Ariya more.

helpful review

Wanted the Ariya since I saw it. Went to the local dealer and test drove it. Increase the range and lower the price and i would be selling the rogue.

Is the park assist useful? I don't need help parking when there's plenty of room, i need help in difficult situations, when there's barely enough room to parallel park for example. Thoughts?

Good job!

GREAT WALK THROUGH.

i have a very early production model 3. i'm taking a long look at the ariya to replace it.

Tesla is the mass market and Nissan the niche. I like the Ariya and I fully understand someone with the cash buying this vehicle as a runaround. Tesla will sell at volume because Tesla has price power, the services and all the innovation in the pipeline!

I have seen 2 of the Ariya’s here on the streets of Atlanta

How does the Ariya handsfree works if you wear dark sun glasses? It can’t read your eyes then.

Word of the day: TRADITIONAL

Does the Ariya have trip planning for long road trips? I am interested in hearing more about this.

Which car would you go for? I have ordered a ariya but I think i want the model y. :)

I thought Aria is a BEV. I don't think there's an engine component under the hood. Tesla automatically unlock/lock the door w/ the phone app. Card is not needed after initial setup

Can you plz tell me what the background music name plz plz ❤❤❤😢

What is the price difference between the two?

What’s the max charging DCFC speed for the Ariya

The Ariya is beautiful and has great features. The key difference is the vast Tesla charging network. One car you can take long road trips. The other your long road trips take much much longer.

The FSD computer comes available in all cars. The software update is the 15k upgrade.

Wow I love that Nissan

The big difference is you can actually buy a Tesla... Tesla sells 250,000 Ev's every year... Nissan Ayria.... has made and sold a few hundred... so guut luck buying one!

Fine example of a fully Japanese built car vs a fully american built car.

Tesla owner here. I realize you have a job to sell your EV over Tesla, but you did not fully explain several key features of the Tesla. 1. When you compared access/entry, you failed to mention that you can use your smartphone as your key for your Tesla. What this means is that you don't need a card or any haptic touch nonsense. The car recognizes your phone, unlocks your car when you approach and locks it when you walk away. You just simply lift the door handle to enter. 2. Additionally, you leave out Sentry Mode for Tesla which utilizes the cameras to detect bumps or any potential thief that might try to break into the car. It will record those interactions for you. 3. Also, you leave out an important safety feature in that if you blow your horn, your front camera instantly records a video clip of what is happening. This video could be important for an insurance claim should you get into an accident. 4. When comparing lift gates, you did not mention that the Tesla has an adjustable lift gate height so that shorter people can adjust the lift height so they don't struggle to reach the button when the lift gate is up. 5. You did not mention that almost everything inside the Tesla can be activated with voice commands. It works exceedingly well. You can open the glove box, turn on wipers, AC, heat, fan speed, music volume.....the options are extensive which means your eyes never leave the road. 6. In addition to heated seats both front and back, the Tesla also now has automated heated seats and steering wheel. It adjusts the heat intensity according to the outside temperature. 7. You did not mention that Full Self Driving has the option of a monthly subscription service which allows you to use it when you need it and turn it off for when you don't need it or want to pay for it. Should you buy a used Tesla with a paid FSD (not subscription service), it stays with the new owner which is a terrific perk. 8. Also, via your smartphone app key, you can set the Tesla to charge off peak hours and have the climate and battery set for a morning departure time everyday or weekday only. Plus, you can enable cabin overheat protection for the car when parked outside during the summer or automatically set the climate to have the AC or heat turned on before you leave work so the car is at your desired temperature. 9. You also implied that the Tesla did not have a 12v power supply or USB ports in the center console. The car has one 12v power supply and two USB-C charging ports in the center console along with two USB-C ports for the rear occupants. 10. Telsa Model Y's can also be configured for two third row seats. They are good for kids, not adults, but nonetheless an option. 11. Tesla to your point, does not offer Apple Car Play or Android Auto, but one outstanding feature is that your Tesla NAV will automatically build in Supercharger stops if your car can't make it to the destination on a single charge. This greatly reduces range anxiety. The Telsa Supercharger network is superior to any other network (not even close) and you can also purchase an adapter so that Teslas can charge on ANY charging network. 12. Last, the performance of the Model Y is better and the range is better too. 13. Tesla also sells direct to consumers. No middle man. No dealer market adjustment fees, no destination fees, no hidden finance fees or charges. With Tesla, you pay for the cost of the car and features you select, tax, title and license. That's it. If I order the same car optioned exactly the same as my neighbor we pay the same price. A traditional dealership's job is to sell you the car for as much profit as they can squeeze out of the deal. Not Tesla. The Tesla dealership experience was one of the best experiences that I encountered. 14. Service. Your car is updated via over the air software upgrades. I have yet to experience a recall where the problem wasn't fixed with a software push. Tesla also has mobile rangers. What this means is that if your car can be serviced in your driveway without the need to go to a service center, Tesla will send a mobile ranger out to your house or work to service the vehicle. I have my tires rotated in my driveway. How cool is that? Cost is no more than to bring it to a traditional service center. Ultimately, you the consumer have to buy what works best for you. Just don't listen to a biased one-sided story like this thread. Do your research for all cars you consider. In this day and age, there is zero reason to set foot on a traditional dealership lot unless you are going to sign paperwork and buy the car. You can do it all from home these days. Dealerships don't want you to know this because it takes all of the control away from them. Happy Hunting!

Ariya and model Y are quite different experiences. Ariya is a more upscale design, especially the interior, and the Y is more spartan, steeper learning curve. Both have very good range, Supercharger network is better managed than Ariya's CCS but most people charge at home anyway.

He doesn't know alot about the Tesla MY..so many errors...Tesla comes with the normal cruise control for free,but if u wanna step up then you can pay 15k for FSD.tesla also has 4 USB connection and a wireless charging pad added.

JC what is the price difference between them, OMG

Nice try Nissan, but you shouldn’t try and compare to Tesla model y. They are way over your weight class. You need to focus on cars like the bolt. The Tesla keycard is a back up key, you don’t need it to get in buddy, your phone is your key and unlocks as you walk up to it.

Great review but you did miss about how the tesla has a setting to auto lock when you walk away from the vehicle, and the tesla is superior on efficiency 😜 but otherwise good video

I am in LA but can I buy my new car from this guy?

No mention of your phone as the key or the voice commands in the Tesla. It’s unnecessary to use the screen for everything as implied. No one pedal driving kills it for me. I’ll keep my Tesla.

Set course to nearest Nissian Deallllller!!!

Imma be honest, the only upside i see for the ariya is the moveable center console so i have more sideways knee room

Great idea for compartment please be more professional and do this in the last noisy place in space. That’s why I didn’t finish the video

Tesla autolocks when you walk away from the vehicle. I was expecting more from Nissan, since they were one of the first serious EV manufacturers, but I think they dropped the ball. They still don't seem serious. They should be way ahead of Toyota, but both vehicles look like they are at the same level.

The only feature that I prefer in the Ariya is the hands free AP. I never use AP in my Tesla because I don't like the constant attention it requires. It just gives me anxiety I prefer to drive myself. All the controls are nice in the Ariya but my Tesla's auto functions work flawlessly. I've never owned a vehicle that had auto functions so intune to my desires. I start thinking that it would be nice to have high beams now and they turn on. It's kinda weird. My previous car, a 2008 G35, had terribly unintuitive controls, especially hvac controls. I was always fiddling! Keep those new EVs coming, I just love it. More choices creates happier customers! My biggest gripe on EVs is the insanely slow response of the government to get more charging stations. What a bunch of assholes in our government. Adding 4 or 5 charging stations to existing gas stations with tax incentives is a no brainier. It's just not that expensive! Every food store parking lot should have quite a few chargers at the extremes of the lot. You know, those places where people seldom park. My favorite supercharger location is a Safeway parking lot which has sixteen chargers and guess where I do my food shopping?

You don’t known the Tesla no key just open and drive voice communication will do anything you want how about the charging network kept the Nissan.

Tesla qualifies for the 7500 tax credit the Nissan does not...

Ariiya really comparing this to a model Y😂

The one screen design in the Tesla just is terrible. To me, it’s like they designed this thing on purpose to cost as little as possible to manufacture at the same time reaming gullible buyers with no sense to pay up their hard earned cash. I can’t get over how bad the interior looks, that steering wheel with the two balls is laughable. The gaps on the pillars looks like the interior has been glued together. The Ariya is proper car with a proper interior, smart phone integration, and 360 view. Also, there is no way I will buy any car today without Apple CarPlay or Android auto. Have a great day!

so ariya has no keys? so does this mean that its risky in terms of stealing??

Ariya looks so much more modern than Tesla.

Said a lot except the price difference

Ariya style looks more decent than Tesla.

The biggest difference between the interior of the Tesla and the Nissan, is the Tesla's interior looks bloody awful. It's far to minimalistic and looks cheap and tacky. The Nissan, by comparison, looks classy.

I’m sure Tesla is cheaper

The Ariya is a great but the price for all trims are $8000 too high considering the features and performance of the car. If they want to stay competitive they need to cut prices or provide better specs and features. There are much better options for BEVs at the same price point.

Missing so much information on the Tesla that I stopped watching it. Paid by Nissan or ignorance?

Tesla Model Y is the best selling car IN THE WORLD, and has the HIGHEST OWNER LOYALTY in the World's automotive market. ENOUGH SAID!

Tesla should take note of the convenience of buttons.

The big difference is that Ariya is better quality vehicle vs. Tesla is made cheap as fuck !!! Nissan has long history of making cars, Tesla is just software and anytime they can turn your Tesla OFF !!!

Yep, now #Tesla Model Y and Model 3 is #crap - #Nissan #Ariya wins big time!

I prefer Nissan than overpriced Tesla

Tesla are better

Nissan forever!!!!!
