The Nissan Ariya and The Tesla Supercharger 

Beginning December 10th, all Nissan Ariya owners will be able to utilize Tesla’s large network of 17,800 Supercharging stations across the United States. For the EV industry, this advancement marks a historic moment as compatibility between different networks are coming together to create a more convenient charging option as well as promote a shift to electric vehicles. Let’s explore the game-changing technology behind this collaboration: the NACS Adapter Kit.

What is the NACS Adapter Kit?

The NACS (North American Charging Standard) adapter kit has created a way for non-Tesla owners, such as the Nissan Ariya drivers, to access the Tesla supercharger networks. This adapter bridges the gap between Tesla’s proprietary charging connectors and the CCS (Combined Charging System) used by many EVs, including the Ariya.

With the NACS adapter kit, now Ariya owners can enjoy:

• Quicker charging times due to Tesla’s high-power Superchargers. 
• More convenient because of the new access to thousands of chargers.
• Greater peace of mind on long road trips.

This small yet powerful tool makes owning and driving an EV easier than ever.

Where is this Available?

Tesla’s Supercharger network spans the US, with 17,800 stations strategically located along highways, urban centers, and popular destinations. These stations are now accessible to Nissan Ariya owners with the NACS Adapter Kit, creating new possibilities for stress-free and convenient travel.

Where Can You Purchase a NACS Adapter Kit?

The NACS Adapter Kit is available through select dealerships and authorized retailers, including Nissan of Georgia. When you purchase directly from Nissan of Georgia, you’ll receive:

• Genuine Nissan parts you can trust.
• Expert guidance to ensure compatibility with your Ariya.
• Exceptional customer service to answer all your questions.

Don’t settle for third-party adapters—choose the quality and reliability that comes with purchasing from an official Nissan dealer.

What is to Come: Honda-Nissan Merger

Some exciting developments are making waves in the automotive Industry! There is talk about the potential of the Honda-Nissan Merger that is circulating and gaining attention in the media. This Merger could create a large shift for both brands as they plan to combine resources and expertise to compete in a constantly evolving market.

Why the Merger?

The motivation behind these merger rumors appears to be the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced automotive technologies. Both Honda and Nissan have been focusing on improving their EV Collection as well as growing their global market share. By merging these two large automotive companies they can use their resources cohesively, optimize production processes, and increase innovation in their EV and hybrid collection. Additionally, this partnership could lead both companies in competing more effectively against rivals like Tesla and Toyota, who are the current leaders in the EV and advanced technology field.  

The Advantages for Both Companies

• The potential Honda-Nissan Merger would be beneficial for both companies, particularly for Nissan:
• Shared Technological Expertise: Both companies could use their technological strengths to improve and create more efficient vehicle models. Nissan’s advanced knowledge of EVs with the success of models like the Nissan Leaf and ARIYA could complement Honda’s knowledge of Hybrid models and hydrogen fuel cell advancements.
• Cost Reduction: By merging the supply chains and manufacturing processes they could reduce production cost significantly, allowing for more funds to used for innovation advancements.
• Expanded Global Reach: A merged effort would allow these companies to grow their global market presence, which could help them compete with larger competitive brands who have a greater regional reach. For Nissan especially, this merger could help grow their advancements in the EV market with the potential for more resources. 

Looking Ahead

Though the merger has not yet been confirmed, its potential impact could be enormous. If the two companies merge, they could reshape the automotive industry by introducing innovative vehicles and increasing their sustainability efforts.. For consumers, this means more advanced, affordable, and environmentally friendly car options in the future.

What’s Included in Our Lifetime Limited Powertrain Warranty

At Nissan of Georgia, we pride ourselves on providing superior service throughout the entire lifetime of our customer relationships. This means we supply unparalleled value before and after purchasing a vehicle from one of our three Georgia dealerships. Our Limited Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is offered at no charge for new Nissans sold and is good for unlimited years and miles, meaning you never have to worry about expired service benefits on any powertrain component. 

Powertrain Warranty Coverage Examples

Our warranty program covers all items designated by the manufacturer as “powertrain” components in the manufacturer's original warranty documents. Below, we will cover some examples of powertrain components covered by our warranty; however, keep in mind that coverage varies based on manufacturer.

Engine

Our comprehensive powertrain warranty covers a considerable portion of most engine components. For example, the cylinder block, head, and all remaining internal parts are covered, as well as the camshaft, crankshaft, and oil pump. The warranty also covers the pistons, intake and exhaust valves, timing gears, and gaskets. 

Transmission and Transaxle

The transmission coverage is also impressive. It includes the torque converter, valve body, front pump, Transfer Case, and all of its internal parts. Other transmission components often covered include the planetary gearset and the additional seals and gaskets.

Front Wheel Drive System

For the front-wheel drive system, our warranty covers the axle shafts, driveshaft, constant velocity points, limited slip differential, and the final drive housing with all of the included internal parts. In addition to those FWD components, we also cover the front hub and bearings, along with the seals and gaskets.

Rear Wheel Drive System

The coverage of the rear-wheel drive system is just as comprehensive as that of the front-wheel drive. Like the front-wheel drive, the RWD warranty covers the axle housing with internal parts, the propeller shaft, the axle shaft, and the Drive Shaft. However, the coverage doesn’t stop there; it includes the u-joints, bearings, and supports.

Answering Some Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Get a Lifetime Warranty at Other Dealers in the Area?

The short answer is no. Our dealerships have been chosen as the exclusive dealerships to offer this Lifetime Warranty.

How Much Does the Lifetime Warranty Cost?

The warranty will cost absolutely nothing. Our goal is to find “customers for life,” meaning we aim to provide superior value for the entirety of our customer relationships.

Is There Any Extra Maintenance Required to Keep the Warranty?

No additional maintenance is required. Simply follow the manufacturer's required maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual, and you will be all set!

Do I Need All of my Service Completed at The Same Dealership?

While our experienced service departments at all three of our dealerships will certainly exceed your expectations, you are not required to use them. To keep the warranty in force, you must have all of the manufacturer’s required maintenance performed by a licensed repair facility and keep copies of the repair orders. Keep in mind that if you choose to service with us, we will keep these records for you.

Where Am I Covered for the Lifetime Warranty?

Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly sedan, a spacious SUV, or a reliable truck, our pre-owned inventory has been carefully inspected to meet our thorough standards. Benefits of choosing a used car from us include:

Variety of Makes and Models: Our used inventory includes vehicles from various manufacturers, providing you with plenty of options to find the perfect match for your needs.

• Competitive Pricing: We strive to offer competitive pricing and frequently update our specials to ensure you get the best deal possible.
• Quality Guard+Plus: provides extended protection for non-Nissan used vehicles beyond the factory warranty, available for vehicles up to 10 years old and under 100,000 miles. With three coverage levels extending up to 8 years or 120,000 miles, it includes nationwide coverage for finding repair shops via a toll-free call. All plans feature 24/7 Roadside Assistance, towing, car rental reimbursement, and trip interruption coverage. It also offers a 0% Consumer Payment Plan with flexible terms and no credit check required, ensuring convenient payment options for owners.

CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) vs. CPO Select

A Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle and a CPO Select vehicle share many similarities in their thorough inspection and certification processes. Both types undergo a multi-point inspection to ensure they meet high quality standards, applicable to both Nissan and qualified non-Nissan models. However, the distinction lies in the warranty coverage: while a standard CPO vehicle typically includes a longer warranty, the CPO Select vehicle offers a 6-month / 6,000 mile (whichever occurs first) limited warranty. This makes the CPO Select ideal for those seeking a certified vehicle with a slightly shorter initial warranty period but still benefiting from thorough inspection and certification criteria. Additionally, Certified Select vehicles can be up to 10 years old with fewer than 100,000 miles, ensuring they are relatively recent models with reasonable mileage. Both options provide peace of mind and assurance of quality, catering to different preferences in warranty coverage and vehicle age.

Nissan Security Plus + Warranty Program

When you choose a used Nissan or a certified pre-owned vehicle from our dealership, you gain access to the Nissan Security Plus + program. This comprehensive program offers a range of benefits designed to protect your investment and provide peace of mind on the road. Key features of the Nissan Security Plus + warranty program includes:

• Extended Warranty Coverage: Enjoy extended warranty options that go beyond the standard factory warranty, offering additional protection for your vehicle's essential components.
• 24/7 Roadside Assistance: Whether you encounter a flat tire, run out of gas, or need a jump start, Nissan's roadside assistance is just a phone call away, ensuring you're never stranded.
• Rental Car Reimbursement: In the event your Nissan requires repairs covered under warranty, you can receive reimbursement for a rental car, minimizing inconvenience.
• Transferable Coverage: Should you decide to sell your Nissan, any remaining coverage under the Nissan Security Plus + program can be transferred to the new owner, enhancing the vehicle's resale value.

Each used vehicle purchase also qualifies for the Nissan Security Plus + program, enhancing your ownership experience with extended protection plans and additional benefits.
