I have read an awful lot, and the conclusion I seem to be coming to is that Nissan is keeping quiet about the exact point at which they will repair or replace the battery.
While one can safely assume that if the battery dies completely, through no fault of the owner, Nissan would honer their warranty if the vehicle is less than 8 yrs old and less than 100k, its entirely unclear to what would constitute a "failed" battery.
Are there any more knowledgeable answers out there? Is it possible that Nissan will view this on a case by case basis, with the decision being based somewhat on location, as well as evidence of the driving and charging habits of the owner?
Or do we think that eventually, a "bright line" will emerge, say 60% capacity or less, where Nissan will repair/replace the battery pack, under warranty?
For me, as I begin to settle into my charging and driving habits, it matters. If there is some confidence that the Nissan warranty really will set a lower limit, under which the battery will be repaired/replaced, then I would feel more confident pushing my charging/driving style. Alternatively, if its true that Nissan's warranty is only about as valuable as the paper its written on, then I had better get used to 80% charges and slow driving right from the beginning.
