Spoke too soon. They couldn't get a battery. Instead Nissan are now going to buy the car back from me. Details over in the buyback thread.

To close out my saga on this thread. Nissan are buying the Leaf back from me. Details listed over in the buyback thread.

Here is how my buyback has played out. 2016 Leaf with 30kWhr battery purchased June 2016 in Colorado. Battery failed Dec 2022 with 42,729 miles. I was given a rental Leaf to drive for free until now (Dec 2023). Initial buyback offer on Dec 18 2023 was; The usage was calculated as (odometer...

Thanks that makes sense now. And wow! That's $15k incentives at POS. And then (I assume) $7.5k federal and $5k Colorado tax credits. Pretty darn good initial purchase!

Nissan is going to replace my 30 kWhr battery with a 40 kWhr battery, under warranty. That's pretty good in my mind!

An update on my situation.... My Nissan dealer finally got a "Nissan engineer" to review the information from my car. Nissan has now authorized replacing my old 30kWhr battery pack with a 40 kWhr battery pack. That's the good news. The bad news is I have no idea how long this will take and the...

So DnvrMike and Zarniwoop, I am joining your club. Same thing happened to me. Driving uphill in the cold (so high load), I lost power. After pulling off the road, I only had neutral or park available (while the dashboard, radio, and all electronics were still operating fine). Car is in the shop...

I just had a similar experience in my 2016 30kWh Leaf SV. I was driving uphill in cold weather about 8 miles into my journey. I received the audible and visual "motor power is being limited" warning. But simultaneously, the car was suddenly only providing neutral or park! This was pretty...
