I think finding a 40kwh battery in a 16 or 17 leaf will be like finding a needle in a haystack. I just looked at a bunch of cars on carvana and they all seem to have way more than 9 bars , maybe I'll get lucky,

I have seen some total cost of ownership blogs where people bought a new Nissan leaf and 5 years latter analyzed how much it costs to own. Generally due to depreciated the Total cost of ownership is not that great Has anyone done a write up of the same nature but with a used leaf 13-17. I...

lol nice try, but I never predicted a 10 year situation, only you did. I suggested 3 or 4 years, which if you remember elementary school math is not the same as 10 years.

no one has successfully predicted EV trends 10 years out. I guarantee you will not be the first.

right now it is a good move, but in 3 or 4 years people are predicting battery prices will decrease from $170/kwh to $100/kwh or about 50 to 60% lower.with battery depreciation that is at least $1000/year in losses due to depreciation. So basically the longer you can wait the better. And who...

it's only going to get lower priced the longer you wait. Lion Batteries will drop in price around 10% a year for the next few years. the question then becomes can people wait long enough for the price to become better? or will a perfectly good motor and shell be sent to a landfill before their time?

if they just wanted battery pack they can get it off ebay for less without the hassle of a tear down. If they wanted a complete car they can buy one used for $5000 What is the point of buying a car for $4200 after fees, fixing it up yourself, for $500 in labor parts and going through the...

Morons have now bid it up to $3625. after fees it will be around $4300.

Took him 14 minutes to say: We know many are growing impatient from waiting so we will finally be offering our product next year so we dont' loose your business. Stay tuned for more details because we dont' have all the specifics worked out yet.

well it is above what I wanted to spend already! :roll: $3175 by the time all the fees are paid it will be $3750. people always ruin auctions by bidding early and too high oh well. https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetails?itemid=33418097&RowNumber=0&similarVehicleItemId=&isNext=&loadRecent=true I...

I still do not see any video announcement and their youtube channel is empty

I do not see a prior accident to this one under vehicle history??? What do think max price should be? Nissan Leaf batteries modules go for about $2000-$3000 depending on condition for a pack of 48

just curious why wasn't this part covered under warranty?

thanks for the tips they helped, figgured out it was an SV made in 7/13.

the web site says: Title/Sale Doc: SALVAGE (North Carolina) Title/Sale Doc Brand: REBUILT Looks like I will have to pay a $50 inspection fee and a $15 salvage title fee and $30 tag fees $150 in property taxes, another $150 in insurance. and I'm probabaly missing even more fees, lol.

Thinking of bidding on this on 12/16/19. Auction requires $200 fee just to bid. I'm going to assume the battery is degraded and only gets 60mi of range or worse. I will bring leaf spy and iphone, but not sure if I can get the key to turn it on and run leaf spy befroe the auction. I'm going to...

What is best way to buy 18/19 leaf battery pack for use in other EV build? I cannot seem to find any battery cells for sale. so I guess buying and junker and ripping it out is my best bet. What is best auction site to do this at? IAAI, Copart, others?

no way in heck Nissan would sell you a battery pack when they could sell you a whole new car instead. Why do I know this? Just look at their support of the old leafs. history predicts the future.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcfXiNEfPsM I'm impressed they squeezed in almost an extra 100 cells in the same space as the old 40kwh battery pack contained. to make the new 60kwh pack. But worred all the extra batteries without better thermal management will not be good in the long run.

I guess no one sees the irony that people are saying that driving a quarter of a million miles is some great environmental accomplishment because it was done on electricity, when in fact excessive driving is ACTUALLY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONEMENT, just a little bit less so in an electric vehicle...
