OK, so how many Ariya deposits so far? And which trim?

$500 deposits are being accepted now by Nissan for the upcoming Ariya CUV, and have been for a month or so. Deliveries may start near the end of 2022. This seemingly competes, at least price wise, with the Audi Q4 higher trim levels and Tesla’s Model Y in the base trim, among others. So, have you reserved? And if so, for which trim?
 
I reserved an Evolve+, but then I cancelled it. I wanted something sooner so I ordered a 22 Mach-E Select RWD with comfort/tech. Hopefully it'll arrive in the next 2 months. Can't wait to try out BlueCruise.
 
I've been giving some thought into a reservation. However, the LEAF taught me the devil is in the details when it comes to EV's, and there isn't much of those fine details being released to the public. I don't feel comfortable with this process on something this expensive until I can physically lay hands on a built vehicle.
 
No, because it was beyond what I wanted to spend anyway and esp. since the cheaper 63 kWh version isn't available until later (see below).

And, the timing also wasn't at all correct for me. I requested a Bolt buyback on 9/14/21 (related to battery recall) which I finally got approved for on 1/7/22 (and had 3 to 5 business days to decide despite GM taking months to give me a number), I planned to return my Bolt to GM under buyback when my CA tags expired, which was 1/28/22. And, so I did. Since I have no other car in a household of 1 + public transportation here is useless, I couldn't wait for whenever Ariya would ship in the US.

So, I've leased a Niro EV on 1/29/22 for 3 years instead.... I won't be in the market earlier than 3 years unless something happens to the Niro EV (e.g. wrecked, stolen, catches fire, bought back due to some other recall or lemon law, etc.)

If my Bolt (bought new at end of Jan 2019) wasn't recalled and there weren't Bolt parking bans (e.g. https://www.chevybolt.org/threads/bolt-parking-only.40557/page-7#post-663639) which also spread to my work, I probably would've held onto my Bolt possibly until either 10 years or 100K miles, whichever came first. I got convinced into buying a 10 year/100K mile extended warranty (I normally don't) at purchase time which I originally figured I was going to cancel within the 1st 30 days, but I didn't and held onto it. At least Ally (provider of the warranty) will be giving me some of my $ back, due to the buyback.
