That's interesting and seems to apply to the low mileage 2018 (17,000) SL I recently grabbed.
Based on paint and interior, I have to assume it wasn't left in the brutal gulf coast sun. (It's absolutely pristine in/out except for the upper black trim piece at the top of each door/window)
Only 4 DCFC in those 5 years
It's SOH is 88.68 yesterday
Was 88.69 4 days/4 charges ago.
Thats about average I see for most 2018 SL. What hurts these low milage cars is being constantly kept on the charger at 100% for most of its life. I have seen this especially impact the Conductivity Hx. What is your Hx reading on leafspy?
HX is abysmal, (see below) especially compared to all the rest of the stats on the car. So you are probably right about the 5 year low mileage history.
I really don't know how to "experience" or feeeeel the low HX, because I don't have anything to compare it to.
As for temps and the unsegmented temp meter on the dash, I think I successfully captured what temp pushes the meter just past the halfway mark. At 95F it's still dead center. At 97F it steps to the next segment. As hot as our ambients have been for the last few weeks, I still haven't seen the temp bar go beyond the one notch beyond halfway. Usually only on the way home during rush hour and being forced to up the pace. Especially from traffic stops, if you know what I mean.
Here's the reported HX when I trickle charged to 100% a few days ago
