I expect Nissan in North America is just wanting to get rid of the liability and that is why the buyback for the most part.
5 weeks after we purchased our 2016 SL in October 2919 triggered the battery warranty at 25 K miles. Way back then there was some talk of a buyback and I checked with the national leaf rep and she said no. And they got me there 40 kilowatt hour new battery which is holding up well. SOH is now 90.92% as of three weeks ago. I topped off the charge today since the wife is driving it work tomorrow due to our schedules being different tomorrow.
Our kids now live 250 and 500 miles from home. We got our 2023 Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Long Range 20 January 2023 and it now has over 20,000 mi on it. FSD is used daily. Since we only have $13.5K in our 2016 Leaf SL and the GOM still reads 150 miles in the summer with only 45K miles and the battery health is stable we're keeping it for a backup. Other than the battery dying at 25,000 mi, our leaf is just as nice of a car ast was back in 2016 for the most part. Too bad it took Nissan to 2018 to get the battery right.
