NISSAN JUST SHELVED ANOTHER VEHICLE. EVERYONE SAW THIS COMING...

EV Channels Review

The Nissan Ariya's discontinuation in the US market is discussed, with the reviewer noting it was shelved before its third year due to a combination of factors. These include significant launch delays, a lack of demand, import tariffs, the removal of EV tax credits, and its higher price point compared to the new Nissan Leaf. The reviewer suggests the Ariya might have fared better as an Infiniti product. Despite its discontinuation, the Ariya is described as a comfortable and well-built vehicle with appealing design and surprising handling, though it suffered from pitch and dive issues. The video also highlights production challenges for the new Nissan Leaf, with extremely low allocation numbers (500 units per month) attributed to battery supply shortages, which severely hampers its potential for success and Nissan's comeback strategy. The overall outlook for Nissan's EV strategy in the US is presented as uncertain, with cost-cutting measures including design studio closures also mentioned.
