I'm in the same boat. Bad cells in my 2017. I've been in a loaner for a year. I receive a text from the dealer every month asking for mileage. I asked about the state of my car sitting on their lot for a year. They said not to worry. Nissan would cover any issues, dead 12 volt etc. They can take...

Wikipedia estimates the cost of battery replacement for a 2017 Leaf is $12,000. Keep in mind that is what you are entitled to, plus the value of the rest of the car. If you can afford to hold out for a battery, do it. This considerably more than they are offering you.

Keep in mind Nissan is Offering a buyback, not requiring it. You have leverage. If you refuse, they have to replace your battery. So you are trading away the equivalent of a car with a brand new 40 kwh battery

Consider that you are entitled to a brand new 24 kwh battery replacement. So the market value of your car is a 2014 with 68,000 miles and a brand new 24 kwh battery with zero miles on it. This raises the market value considerably.

The lowball buyback offer is interesting. Consider that you are entitled to a brand new 40 KWH battery replacement, which by itself is considerably more than they offered you. The market value for your car should be the year, the miles and the fact that you have a brand new 40 KWH battery with...

My 2017 went in for battery replacement last February due to faulty cells.They gave me a 2022 Leaf loaner. Take your time!

My 2017 lost its first bar at 55k, second bar at 65k and third bar at 75k. The car was at about 83k and I was hoping to lose my fourth bar soon when the battery started acting up. I'd be travelling down the highway with about 70% battery when when I would get a low battery warning. It said I had...

I got the new app to turn climate control on and off for my 2017 Leaf. Trying to get it to work with Alexa. No luck yet. This page gives me some commands to try with Alexa. https://www.nissanusa.com/connect/features-app/system-requirements/nissan-connect-ev I can get Alexa to recognize some of...

Nissan should add a skill for the Nissan LEAF to Amazon Alexa. It would be great if I could turn on climate control and find out how much charge I have with voice activation.

I'd been considering an EV for about a year when our company installed EV chargers for employees. My commute is 35 miles and I am spending $50/week on gas in my SUV. When Nissan and our company offered a $10,000 rebate, I qualified for a $7500 federal tax rebate and our company offered another...
