Thanks for the detailed breakdown and law information. I’m just glad I surrendered my leaf and got the $ in hand back on 11/1/2023. I’m very happy with my 2020 Chevy bolt with a new battery. Chevy seemed to have no prob replacing all those batteries! ~250 miles on a charge!

Final Update: Buyback 11/2/2023 2016 Nissan Leaf 30 kWh battery. Bought from Carmax 02/08/2020 Time with my Leaf: 02/08/2020 - 11/02/2023: ODOMETER = 36,127 - 51,648 Starting SOH = 85% but dropped first bar and SOH down to 80.5 % within 2 weeks of purchase. Ending SOH = 63.71. Was losing %...

While I agree the $400 offer is really offensive, what if the battery never comes? Are you okay with that? For $400 I think just keep waiting it out and hopefully your time in the battery shipment queue comes up.

when was your 8 bar replacement approved by the dealer? I think like those of us wanting the new battery, just say you will consider the offer in the future and keep waiting it out. hopefully the battery finally shows up in 8-12 months. What was your arbitrators name? I wonder if it is the...

congrats on the battery replacement, but honestly it may take 12+ months even if they fully cover it under warranty replacement. GOod luck man, just hang in there! it should come some day!

Also not clear is the usage deduction. Especially if it is a used car purchase vs new car. Mileage at purchase vs mileage at 8 bar drop ...

The arbitration buy-back process after submitting the forms can be 1-3 weeks. ping your emailed arbitration person for an update. however, sometimes they take time to get back to you. I responded with a question to my offer and it took 1.5 weeks to hear back. he also reiterated that the offer...

Magi can be lowered by 401k contributions but there is not another way to lower magi and it is too far just to get a $4000 used ev tax credit

UnFortunately (our magi is above $150,000 so don’t qualify for the used ev credit. Would just swap over to a new to me 12/11 bar leaf and keep the slow death going / boost a few more years into my leaf driving (with the new to me second car) The new leaf likely would not get the warranty...

I got my buyback calculations. Since I bought it used from carmax for $14,000 that was the starting price. However, I am not sure about the Mileage Usage deduction calculation. "NNA is entitled to deduct a use charge. The amount that is charged for use is determined by multiplying the actual...

Doing a small 60 miles each way road trip with 1 CHAdeMO QC session halfway I got the battery up to 108 F on the way home in the evening after driving up mid morning. Not optimal I know. Rare occurance.

Personally I want to wait for the battery. I imagine since i've got approval from the dealer, I just wait it out, and if it never comes 1-2 years later, I could be part of a class action lawsuit? ... hopefully a battery magically comes someday within next year.

2016 Leaf 30 kWh - Warranty. Got the battery replacement approved by dealer + corporate on July 5, 2023. Finally called the nissan corporate consumer affairs number to get a case last week and today got a follow-up from the person handling my case. Same story "30 kwh batteries aren't being made...

That’s a good price for a good car. Pay it and try to get the battery warranty fulfilled. Even if it never happens, that’s a great price for a decent 45-50 mile before next charge vehicle

Amazing !! I hope the $ comes through. I’m also in San Diego and missy nissan poway is where I took mine for the 8 bar warranty. They had just gotten 2 x 40 kWh battery packs for two leads that had been on the waiting list for 9 months from late 2022. Maybe one was yours! Hopefully it all...
