Are you a Tesla car owner already ? If not you may be one of the very first non-owners to receive an invite.Phatcat73 said:On the bright side I did get my Model 3 invite today... 3-6 week delivery

I got my invite 3 weeks ago. Also non-owner, afternoon line-waiter. Don't have VIN yet.
I've thought about the $9k battery upgrade option also and decided to skip it since our driving habits never extend past 300 miles in a day, and I don't mind the short Supercharger stops the smaller battery will require.jbuntz said:I got my invitation to configure yesterday. Non owner signed up online as soon as it opened. I am waiting for non black interior. Also not sure if it is worth it to get the LR battery at 9k.
lorenfb said:Since you have been helpful in providing the forum data about your 30kWh Leaf and since you indicated your frequent use of QCs,
it would be helpful to supplement the 40kWh data Dave provided on his 2018 Leaf:
http://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=25519&start=90#p523924If those with a 30kWh Leaf who QC could complement the helpful data provided here; viewtopic.php?f=27&t=25519&start=90#p523924
by Dave's data gathering on his 2018 40kWh Leaf, i.e. internal battery resistance data, by performing the same type of test (about 10-15
seconds at the start of a QC), that would result in having battery data on all the Leaf batteries, 24/30/40 kWhs. If that test results in the
battery resistance of the 30 kWh battery being about the same as both the 24 & 40 kWh batteries ( ~ 50 - 60 mohms), then it could be
implied that the additional prolonged 30 kWh battery heat over time (like the 40 kWh) results from a higher battery thermal resistance
(lower heat conductance) to ambient, e.g. resulting from a higher density battery volume. This would help explain the higher battery
degradation some 30kWh Leaf owners have experienced over the 24 kWh battery, and what some 40 kWh Leaf owners will probably
have to confront over time, which in hindsight necessitated TMS more so as the battery density increased over the 24 kWh battery.
Thanks for your help.
The LR will charge faster at SuperChargers. In my S, I figure this adds 5-10 minutes every time we stop at a SC on a long trip. My wife talked me out of getting a 90D, and I wish she hadn't (especially since she's more sensitive about the time charging takes on a long trip).SageBrush said:I've thought about the $9k battery upgrade option also and decided to skip it since our driving habits never extend past 300 miles in a day, and I don't mind the short Supercharger stops the smaller battery will require.
He said 5-10 minutes per charging stop on a trip.arnis said:5-10 saved minutes each month is not worth $9000. Not even close.

I'll have to learn to praise my wife every time she wants to stop to buy a coffee and empty her bladder. It provides easy cover for the surreptitious Supercharging going on at the same time.Oils4AsphaultOnly said:jlv said:The LR will charge faster at SuperChargers.

My wife's the same way. That 5-10 minutes saved per charging stop, plus fewer charging stops on a 400 mile road trip, just to NOT have to hear another word about how faster the trip would've been using a gas-car is worth every penny!!
Some things just don't have a monetary value.
Oils4AsphaultOnly said:new datum.
Today I did a full rebalancing charger after a few days of QC'ing to generate data for lorenfb. prior to my QC runs, my SOH was ~90%, with peak GID's of ~332. This morning's reading was SOH of 92% (peak GID's of 334)!
So I'm going to put less faith in the SOH value as a gauge of battery health, and trust the reported GID's instead - even though that has been slowly rising since Jan!
Battery capacity is measured in kWh, not "Kw". Thanks for the info though.willbur4 said:I decided to Check my 30Kw 2016 Leaf battery after seeing reports of accelerated degradation

What owner's manual precautions are you referring to, if I may ask?willbur4 said:It appears these batteries do well in this climate if owners manual precautions (they are a pain) are heeded.

I Was pleased to find 99.97% SOH (LeafSpy) after two years and 24,442 miles of use in northern Ohio. We L2 Charge daily to ~ 90% then drive off within 1/2 hour.
