He passed it, stopped, it passed him while he was stopped, he started driving again and passed him again

My point was his stops were not faster than an EV charging

I stopped at Bucc’ees for a breakfast burrito, brisket sandwich and 4 bags of pecans (no fuel needed). Then passed the Tesla truck for 2nd time after the Infiniti QX80 passengers told Tesla passengers they’re #1.

Ariya never really sold well did it? I don't see a lot of them on the road. But maybe that's just a Nissan problem more than an Ariya problem

Nissan was a weird story, first to ev, and then just let off the gas. Now they are pivoting again.

Nissan has suffered from poor leadership for a long time now.

I see a decent around my area, but tons more Prologues and Blazer EVs because of the insane leases they were offering

With EVs, it could be that cost of the platform and vehicle is too large and that they are losing money on each model. Hence it is a sunk cost that they are writting off, and possibly their new platform is actually better at making them money.
