We haven't had a poll in a long time.
I'll create a few polls that would help gauge where we are ...

Well, that is if you assume 12 bars really means "no range loss", which it doesn't. 10K miles for me, in 16 months in the S.F. Bay Area near Palo Alto (sorry, more time in open parking lots than chilling on the coast)... and I have a tad under 10% range loss from new. (Sorry, no GID... just real world.) No impact to most of my use cases just yet, beyond visiting VLBW more than I like now. But let's see what happens in a year...thankyouOB said:i see a trend.
no degradation for the vast majority of LEAFS.

u r splitting hairs. i have range loss just like EVERYONE ELSE. it is impossible to have all your capacity because batteries start to lose capacity from Day one. in some cases like mine, the loss is slow but i still have loss of 2-4 %
spike09 said:I encourage everyone to post their months of ownership, total miles and number of capacity bars info into their forum signature. And aso their location and VIN in their forum profile.
There is a 255 character limit. Average KWH per mile, owned or leased, solar or grid powered, L1 or L2 charger, 80% or 100% max rate are alll relevant to the conversation.

In the spirit of learning and monitoring, I have discharged it to shutdown about 20 times and kept track of energy required for recharge. As of this date, I have only used a quick charger once. Any time the car sits for an extended period of time it is at about 60% SOC. The only time I used ECO mode was for the September 15th range test and for a month when it was relatively new to see if there was any benefit to efficiency.
