I usually have 5-6 bars in the summer. I have an insulated garage I keep it in, which helps keep the car at a more stable temp. I think it also helps that the car is driven every day from 100% down to about 30% and then recharged at 6kW. Stats seem to improve when the battery is cycled regularly...
Just over one year of driving, battery holding up well. I saw some degradation over the summer, I am guessing it will come back once it starts to cool down.

This is pretty average. It doesn't charge all the way to 100% because it reduces the lifespan of the pack. Here are my latest stats:

Manufacture...
My leaf was manufactured in the fall, I purchased it the day it came off the truck, so the majority of its use has been in the Iowa winter. It has always been 292 GIDS. We drive it every single day. Its stored in an insulated garage, so temp swings affect it less. Charging is pretty much...
I completely expected to be showing degradation by now. Apparently, the secret to keeping the new battery healthy is to not care whatsoever about its health.
