I was curious about the strategy you mention. If I overpaid, would they just credit it to my account and lower the payoff value? I asked two different people on the Leaf-line (800 854 3310) and they both said that NMC would not accept over payment which is a shame. Why they don't have it...

I'm at end of lease on my 2016 SV which I just extended for 3 months. I would have happily extended it for longer but that is the longest they would go, and better than they were telling me a couple months ago which was no extension at all. I'll probably buy the car (residual is $11600)...

One final plot. Here is my lifetime SOH versus miles driven. I didn't include the first 10k before because I regarded this data as unhelpful with respect to what to expect going forward. I find the data after 10K miles easy to understand. SOH is going down and it is going down pretty...

Actually, if you just look at the data versus miles driven I'm measuring 5.8% degradation per 10K at 15k miles driven and your experience suggests 3% degradation per 7.7 k miles but that was with the LBC included. My SOH went up 9% post LBC change. Did you notice if yours changed? You...

Here is the Slope of the SOH curve before the LBC update = 5.8% per 10K miles. Slope of the SOH curve since the LBC update = 6.6% per 10K miles Note that the SOH curve for after the LBC update does not have very much data and likely overstates the rate of degradation as it includes...

I've got a 2016 SV with 39K miles (lovingly cared for) through 2.5 years of a 3.0 year lease. It is currently a 12-bar car but is reporting 88.6% SOH after the LBC update. Facts: Monthly Payment $224 Current Buyout from NMAC $12916 Actual Buyout from dealer $13216 (includes...

I see that you have a 2016 and got a new battery at 45k miles, Am I correct in assuming that was before the change in the battery controller software? I ask, because I was almost to 2 bars lost on mine before the change which appears to have added 9% the SOH in my case. To my eye, it...

Above is a picture of my SOH versus miles driven. As can be plainly seen, I got the software update at about 37k. I've been driving for a few months since the update. I live in Seattle and drive about 15k-17k miles in a year commuting and running errands. The effect of the update was to...

Thanks for the great feedback. Here is my plan. I'm going to start recording how much energy I'm putting in, and how much is being recorded by LeafSpy. I'll also do a couple VLBW - Full and maybe a turtle - Full and record the total energy out of the wall. Then I'll get the SW update...

Thanks for the link. I've yet to get the software update but I have to say I'm very skeptical. It seems to me that the battery warranty is written as 4-bar loss, but Nissan controls what 4 bar loss means (via their software). So when the fleet is degrading at a pace that will result in...

I've got a 2016 SV that has been in service for a little over 2 years, it has 35k miles on it. I have a 3 year lease at 15k per year and I've been using miles faster than my 15k per year lease allowance. I also leased a 2013 which i drove 45k miles and returned with 12 bars. My 2016 is...

I really like the elevation test to study regeneration efficiency. The piece that I feel is missing is careful speed control. In an ideal test you would pick a reasonable speed to do the trial at and maintain that speed going up and coming down. I recognize that this is not always possible...

I swapped out my 2013 SV for a 2016 SV at lease end much as you did. 1) I also lost the headlight upgrade in the 2013 which i missed immediately but I never missed the fog lights. This never occurred to me while I was shopping. 2) I also lost the seat heater on the back seats which i had in...

I drive about 1250 miles a month. My commute is 40 miles round trip and I get a good dose of errands and I generally have an even mix of highway and city driving. Most of my highway trips are short (3-10 miles). I do L2 charging at home almost exclusively. I live in Seattle so heat is not...

I just got a 2016 SV after returning my 2013 SV at end of lease. I'm not too happy about this after 3 weeks. AHr=74.46 SOH= 93% Hx=89.50% odo=967 mi 5 QCs 19 L1/L2s When I returned my 2013 SV with almost 43K miles on it the SOH was 88% and the Hx was 88. This appears to me to have about...

June 2nd - I spoke to NMC today regarding my 2013 SV. . For June, The "incentive" to purchase is $3000 and they are also offering a 6-month lease extension at original terms. Really kicking myself for not taking the $7500 incentive in April.

Note - the plot is a little hard to read after resizing. The left vertical axis is efficiency in miles / kWh. The right vertical axis is temperature in degress Fahrenheit. Data points are taken monthly and this represents a little over 2 years worth of data. I have a 2013 SV and live in...

I have a 2013 SV. I drive it about 1300 miles a month and have a very consistent usage pattern. I live in Seattle and use the car for commuting and errands. I replaced the badly worn stock Ecopias at the end of October in 2015 (32k miles) with EP422 Plus Ecopias from Costco ($461). I have...

Yes - fuel savings includes cost of electricity which is 9.9 cents per kWh in Seattle. I calculate this monthly as follows: PPG = Price Per Gallon (I use Cheap Gas website and take the lowest number in my area) MIles = Miles driven in the month kWh = monthly kWh from meter on charger 18 = I...

Thanks for all the feedback. I agree it is a pretty nice deal and hard to pass up. My total out-of-pocket on the car would be $18477 which is quite good. Down $3000 Sum of Lease payments $7136 Buy-out offer...
