I'll be keeping it quick, since I just lost my whole post in a browser crash. :evil:

A lot of the issues discussed in above article pertain to me, as a Lyft driver. My 2012 pack is going to need replacement in about 6-8 months (currently at 80% SOH 36kmiles, seems to degrade ~4%/15,000 miles so I'll be at 72-73% at 60k, likely no warranty coverage). I know another driver who will be reaching 60k in March doing same kind of work with similar aged car, so that'll be a good reference for me.
I'm going to try to drive until the leaf has some sort of failure other than the battery, unless it is barely into a pack replacement and the repair cost is reasonable.
I live in Nashville and am 30 minutes from the battery plant and corporate HQ in Franklin. I've been looking into participating as sort of a field tester or "test mule" for one of their replacement packs (think bigger than 24kWh). I've heard from a passenger that his friend was testing a bigger pack, but it could've just been the "lizard" variant. I didn't get a contact from him. I figure that I could be a good resource for Nissan and it could be a win-win.
I've written a letter to consumer affairs, and been on the phone with them. Not very helpful, and I don't blame them. It's a weird subject to bring up. Does anyone have any recommendations?
