I think the minute of the interview from ~4:20 to ~5:20 applies directly to those of you who have anxiety over the SOH "gauge" (the capacity bar display).dhanson865 said:Nothing he said is accurate or applies...edatoakrun said:At ~ 30 seconds, Andy Palmer mentions
In fact, the total number of packs replaced by Nissan will probably eventually be in the hundreds, not dozens.quote="dhanson865"
...dozens of cars that have lost 4 bars (have received) ...a free battery.
hill said:With LEAF VIN ###000659 (south OC), I have avoided the update that seemed to preserve GOM bars going away. What's weird is that Andy says degradation is nonlinear. Our first bar bar disappeared at 40,000 miles. The second bar went away just last week at just 51,000 miles. That means andy is correct. The degradation is nonlinear. The curve seems to be going in the opposite direction, where degradation is actually speeding up.
What are you smoking? There is no way that I'm going to buy a new battery in the next two years, even if it does have 30kWh - that is just not enough of a jump to be worth it. And if you are saying Nissan will buy one for me, well, you're even crazier still!ILETRIC said:So, to answer the thread's rhetorical question: Hopefully NOT.
(You all shall receive new batteries - maybe the 2016 30kW ones).

As of now, I estimate that my OE pack lets me use, on average, ~18 kWh of capacity, from "100%" charge to turtle, when warm.="GetOffYourGas"...that is just not enough of a jump to be worth it...

Couldn't he open both packs and swap out the individual battery modules? Or is there an ID chip/module in there and he could just swap that?Valdemar said:Not until you solve the battery pairing problem

(Or are there ID chips in each battery module?)
Yes, that's MUCH MUCH more work than just swapping the whole pack, but there's already a set of youtube vids showing how to open a pack and remove everything.

We have owned our LEAF for about two years now, but it is a demo with 2.5 years gone from the warranty.
Mine too! I'm sitting at about 82%, 1-bar down. I'm in a hotter part of SoCal than you I suspect. Could possibly make 5 years (Jan'16). Decreased range has just started to have an impact on my wife's weekend driving. Funny thing is, she loves the car so much she doesn't want a new "anything". And it's really just the loss of those 15 miles or so that's been an issue. This LEAF has been zero trouble. I may have to pony up $6k for a replacement pack since that will be the "cheapest" option. #HappyWifeHappyLifehill said:With LEAF VIN ###000659 (south OC), I have avoided the update that seemed to preserve GOM bars going away.

we just got back from the central CA valley. it was 100+ degrees near the supercharger station we stopped close to. I was in awe, listening to the refrigerating fans/coolant running hard core, to insure the Tesla packs stayed nice & cozy/comfortable while charging. I was feeling very "active cooling envious"TomT said:It is ALL about climate! Location, location, location! Usage and mileage is very much secondary.
