Anyone with experience getting a battery order approved/denied by Nissan corporate?
I have a 2016 (30 kWh) that I want to purchase a 40 kWh and have it installed. It is still covered the battery warranty, however it does not (and likely will not) qualify for a replacement (74% SoH). I have a quote, and I want to pay my own money to do this (usually commenters try to tell me it's a bad idea, this is what will work for me and I am happy to do it. Used prices where I live do NOT allow me to simply buy a 2018).
Nissan Canada requires a "battery diagnostic" (might be a CVLI test) to order the 40 kWh battery. But, as far as I can tell, my battery will pass this test - and my request to purchase will be denied. The nearest LEAF qualified dealer to perform this test is 400 km away, and at 74% SoH it is a big ask to do this twice. I worry that their testing will confirm that this is "normal degradation" and tell me to pound sand, but it doesn't meet my needs and I am willing to pay for the upgrade.
