First time EV owner here. Recently(less than a week)I bought a used 2020 Leaf SV, 40kwh battery from Carvana. I first got the feeling something was up when the day I got the car I tested the acceleration and it almost immediately went into Turtle Mode at around 75% battery. Nothing else seemed wrong and by the next day it was out of turtle mode and seemed normal. Then on my drive to work(highway speeds, 25 miles 1 way, 33°F-40°F outside temps) these past 2 days whenever I need to give the car more acceleration I.E going up a hill or the cruise control maintaining speed, the battery % starts fluctuating like crazy, going all the way down almost to 0 and anywhere in between 0 and whatever the battery was before it started(Plugged in the night before and started at 100% both days, and problems happen around 80%-75%).
Is my battery or a few of its cells toast? I've got an OBD2 meter coming in the mail so I can check myself but I'm curious if this problem is common or not
