I have one of the first delivered 2018 SL in Chicagoland with 40kw battery
here are some of the problems I have encountered
1) Andoid auto was crashing then stopped working.
replaced head unit and usb port.
I gave up on it.
2) Clicking from front when accelerating from stop and initiating braking.
Took three service returns to get fixed, Finally drove with service guy, told them to keep the car if the cant fix. They used microphone and found an "axle click" apparently boot of axle loose. Perhaps because i drive car pretty hard!!!
3) bad tire sensor. And a tire that disintegrated
4) battery degradation greater than 2015 leaf.
HERE ARE MY STATS.

Can anyone comment how battery is doing?
Your battery is doing about the same as everyone elses. You would have had a much clearer picture if you had recorded stats at regular intervals but I will predict your rate of loss will drop to 1-2% per 10,000 miles.
The peculiar thing I see about all this is the lack of regional differences previous packs saw. Discounting Hellish extremes of Phoenix, previous packs degraded fairly close to the climate they lived in. Which is why a degradation chart was created. "Most" fell into a rather predictable pattern.
Well, that pattern has disappeared for "most" of us with the 40 kwh pack. Now nearly everyone falls into the same degradation pattern and rate.
