Getting a LOT of conflicting information and beginning to wonder how much of it might be true.
As we know, Nissan is warrantying 30 kwh LEAFs with 40 kwh packs. Why? Well who knows? There is unconfirmed speculation that Nissan simply didn't have any 30 kwh packs which was NEVER verified by Nissan itself.
And up to this point; Nissan has not sold any packs that were still under the degradation warranty which implies only 24 kwh packs are for sale.
We also know that Nissan has stated a "few" times that 24 kwh packs could not be upgraded to a larger pack no matter what which is the same as "we are not for sale"
Which brings me to the point.
Recently a 24 kwh LEAFer went thru the process to cost a replacement pack and was told by a dealer he could get a 30 kwh pack for $6500. (price seems a bit familiar...)
It would also appear that everyone else warrantying a 30 kwh pack outside North America is getting a 30 kwh pack.
So wondering
1) has anyone started the process to "buy" a replacement pack and if so what are you replacing, what are you getting and how much will it be?
2) Has anyone recently completed the above process with same questions on price, capacity, etc.
