That is a good detail report with positive results. From my experience it seems like the battery technology matured for the 2018 and up Leafs. I have a 2016 SL with a 2020 new 40 kWh battery. I was going to sell it when I got the 2023 Tesla model y long range but the battery health is staying up...

Congratulations. This mirrors my experience in 2020 with our 2016 Leaf SL. In Oct 2019 I found our 9 bar Leaf and 5 weeks later it triggered the warranty for a new 40 kWh pack. They started with buy back talk and I said the selling Nissan dealership assured me I would be getting a new battery...

It's not a Leaf thing only.. it has to do with where the battery materials was sourced and where the battery was built.

Sensible point you make. While with our 2016 Leaf SL 26 amps is the max it can use. That max potential jumps to 48 amps for Model Y but since the detached garage is fed by a 40 amp breaker 32 amps is the most that I can offer the Model Y. TVA asked we manage our loads (+3F last night) so I...

Losing the forth SOH bar was required for my 30 kWh battery to be replaced with a new 40 kWh pack under warranty in Feb 2020. A certified Leaf tech had to verify the 4th bar had been lost. There was no charge to verify the Fourth bar was missing.

The CEO of Nissan and the CEO of Tesla really have nothing in common. While the 2023 Tesla model y dual motor long range cost about $10,000 more than the 2016 leaf, they are not anything alike. I do appreciate what Elon musk has done for the poor guys like me. I do appreciate the Nissan CEO...

I have watched the entire video and did not see any red flags on a quick read. Move delete comment or what ever. Most in the USA may just get a different vehicle. This is not a good option in isolated places or people have imported a leaf and there is not an external support system.and option...

Sounds like it is beyond balancing. Have you considered going back to an ICE vehicle for health reasons?

How often do you discharge down to 30% then charge to 100% to trigger the BMS cell balancing feature? If you do this a few cycles please post a graph at 100% State of Charge.

Sounds like you have the better battery chemistry. Have you checked with Nissan Leaf customer support line to check your history of work done under warranty and see if it possibly may have gotten a new battery like many of them did? Our 2016 Leaf SL 30 kWh battery triggered the battery warranty...

Our 2016 SL got totalled 8 months after getting the new 40 kWh pack under warranty. Found a mint 2015 SV totalled due to electrical problem and got our 2016 back on the road for less than the insurance check Many cars on the road in Kentucky today have salvage titles. I was not about to let...

Been driving Nissans since 1973 (50 years). Got used 2016 Leaf SL in 2019 and Nissan upgraded to new 40.kWh battery in 2020 and still is awesome vehicle and it's wife work car. Kids moved away 250 and 500 miles plus due to arthritis I needed Full Self Driving plus good fast charging network so...

Your cell balance is impressive. Nissan replaced our 2016 Leaf SL 30 kWh in Feb 2020 at 25K miles under warranty. The 40 kWh battery SOH is down to 90.81% after 20K new miles of use over the past 4 years. It got totalled Nov 2020 and we bought a 27K mile mint inside and out 2015 Leaf SV from...

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...

After having used FSD for the last 8 months locally and recently doing a fast 1600 mile round trip to Austin TX I think Elon Musk took the correct path to autonomous driving. In Austin I said Navigate to Home put it in D then engaged FSD. It managed the route and charging needs and driving for...

In time the $25K Tesla may kill of the decades old hybrid technology..

I am a supporter for life due to him making FSD work for me on cross country trips.

After using FSD locally for 8 months I needed to do a fast 1600 mile round trip to Austin TX recently. Going out made me an FSD believer. On the return I just told it to navigate to home and engaged FSD in the parking lot and it got me to the interstate picked up all the charger stops and did...

FSD does well in heavy rain but I haven't driven in heavy snow. On snow and ice it's better than the Subaru Forester.

I have been driving daily using FSD Beta for six months . I am impressed how it performs on narrow unmarked country lanes. It seems to be quite flawless on Interstates. It costs me $200 monthly. Hopefully version 12 will be out early 2024. At age 72 due to arthritis I can't get in and out of a...
