It's 8 years (to the day) from the 'in service date' which I think it the day it is driven off the lot after being purchased. Or 100k miles, whichever comes first.

This one sounds like a car that hasn’t had the BMS SW update.
johnlocke said:Nov 1 update. 290 GID's, SOH=79.75%, Hx=58.93%. 82987 total miles, 38058 miles on new battery, 145 L3 total, 31 on new battery, 1635 l2 total, 761 on new battery. I'm driving a lot less now so wear and tear on the battery is less but it's still losing power at about the same rate per mile as before. I lost 6 GID's last month even with less driving. It still looks like I won't hit the 4 bar down mark before the 100K warranty limit. Despite the tax incentives and new battery, I just can't see buying another Nissan. Their attitude toward the Leaf and the lack of support regarding battery replacement have soured me on the brand. Tesla is still in the lead and if Biden wins the election and reinstates the EV tax credit for American auto manufacturers, that would make it a slam dunk for me. Volkswagen is still in the running with the current regulations and tax breaks but the ID4 doesn't seem compelling compared to a Model 3.
Nissan has proven over and over that they don't care about servicing older EV's. I see no reason to believe that that will change with the Aryia. In an Ideal world, Tesla would come out with a Model 3 with lfp batteries for the US market similar to the Chinese version at around $32.000 and an upgraded interior version at $35,000. With the longer lifespan for lfp batteries, the tradeoff in range would be perfectly acceptable and give them an entry at the lower end. Maybe after they finish the Austin Gigafactory they won't be so production constrained and can work on lower cost models.GaleHawkins said:johnlocke said:Nov 1 update. 290 GID's, SOH=79.75%, Hx=58.93%. 82987 total miles, 38058 miles on new battery, 145 L3 total, 31 on new battery, 1635 l2 total, 761 on new battery.

Thanks for the numbers and next EV thoughts. After 8 months and 13K miles on the replacement 40 kWa battery in our 2016 Leaf SL SOH is down to 96.09% from 99.87%. where I drive it 170 miles one day and zero miles the next the SOH loss rate varies little. Typically I make two 30 trips most days and for the last month I have been testing charging it to 4.2 volts after after each trip to manage heat buildup which is less of a concern now in KY. The charging time is around 2 hours.
I will be turning 70 in 4 months and would distance past to have a Tesla by the time my wife plans to retire in about 3 years. After Nissan had our Leaf 6 weeks to replace our 8 bar battery and I learned their risk of bankruptcy I realized a RWD Tesla was going to cost less than new Nissan EV long term.
I love this 6th Nissan but they are a company in steep decline compared to 1973. Like most other OEM's their prime time is on their distance past.
That's crazy. The stupid annual battery report should be something that even a non-EV tech can run. They just have to use their Consult III plus laptop and OBD2 cable like for all their other cars.fergy126 said:I've been trying for a month to schedule an annual battery inspection here in Augusta, GA. Only 2 dealerships available and one doesn't have an EV tech. The other dealership tech only works M-F, people gotta go to work. They're gonna hate me when it's time for my warranty replacement.

Don't know where they're located. If someone has time, they're more than welcome to post updates to my last list. If not, I should be able to find some time over Thanksgiving or in December.
