On the 11-17 you can clearly see how many bars capacity/SOH the traction battery has left. Looking at the 18+ models, unless I'm missing something, I'm not seeing anything except for the battery % left. I suppose it's buried in the menus? Looking at Leafs at Copart and they're not taking pics of the bars left, capacity/SOH but you can usually see the % battery left.

Thanks!
 
You have to go thru the menus using the buttons on the steering wheel.

This is what the Portuguese version of that screen looks like: https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=608089#p608089.

I don't think you'll find many '18+ Leafs in the US that are down more than 1 or 2 capacity bars. Many newer ones, esp. not in super hot climates will still have all its capacity bars. But it does seem like the 1st bar goes away roughly with LeafSpy SOH similar to the values at https://web.archive.org/web/20170825181222/http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/Battery#Battery_Capacity_Behavior.
 
Aw hell! :( Figured it was something like that! Thanks for the pic showing the capacity! :) They only take limited pics, just one of the dash, usually I guess, just to show the mileage. Saw an 18 with a 40 Kwh with 40k miles and a 21 with a 62 Kwh and about 40k miles. These people are bidding stupid prices tho and some have reserves grrrrrrr Another bad thing is I'm in Arizona, hotter than the average climate! This summer hottest on record! But we luv it!

So, unless we actually go out there, 70 mile round trip, and have a look and plug in Leaf Spy that's the only way were gonna know what it is. Thanks though for this valuable info! :)
