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.
Miles driven seems to be either irrelevant or of little relevance.

That would be doubtful. Looks like average first year loss is 5-7% regardless of location or miles.DougWantsALeaf wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 9:19 amThe newer chemistries seem to favor warmer operation. You see this with Tesla’s as well with packs going above 50C by choice.
If even cold weather packs are moving to the low 90s SOH does that suggest that cold batteries no longer extend life? I would like to know if 2019 40 packs degrade on the same curve or not. The oldest ones are just at a year, so might be able to get some insight.
If you look at geotab 2016 Tesla S models, they also moved to about 90% SOH after 3 years, which is what we are seeing here with the 40 Leaf after 2 years.
Any 2018 40 Leafs our there with 95+% still?

Each part will be replaced in a sequence as the "most" likely culprit, then proceeding to the next possible part. (wheel bearings first, then others, then even the reduction gear)Again, this noise has nothing to do with any previous known TSBs / recalls, as this is clearly a mechanical issue when turning a sharp left turn, sounding like a grandfather clock knocking sound. This entire process could take a week or more. ICE as a loaner will be provided.

Existing TSBs, loose nuts, axles, ruled out by local and regional techs as root cause. Gonna be interesting. Still racking up miles on an otherwise great car (now nearing 8,500 miles 6 months into ownership of this unit).

Nissan manufacturing still determining what could be causing the "tock" sound to occur. The entire left axle was replaced but it didn't really do much. Regional Nissan tech is mystified and I find it fascinating that I have presented them with two LEAFs with frame sounds that take months to resolve. Customer service at the dealer is very good.
Good thing is they've ruled out it's a safety issue so I've been able to drive this vehicle normally without having to use a ICE loaner.
We had that sound on our 2019 SL Plus, also coming from the front left axle. Based on your report here we brought it in, and the Nissan service technician said that it was a known issue, and swapped out a part while my wife waited. It took about an hour and they rotated the tires as well, and we haven't heard the clunking sound since.jdcbomb wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 6:25 pmFinal Update: The rhythmic tocking sound has been eliminated. Nissan manufacturing apparently provided the right advice. The dealer first replaced the hub bearing, and then replaced the RIGHT axle assembly, which includes the CV joint. Previously, given the sound was emanating from the left side, the LEFT axle assembly was replaced with no effect. The going theory is the RIGHT axle was actually making the sound but was echoing in a way that made it sound like the center left. Fairly impressed with the service, but wondering if there are other 18/19 LEAFs with similar issues that need attention (especially given I had two that different sound issues). Glad to have the car back.

Sounds like what my 2018 was doing. I only heard it on a left turn to a street maybe 6 " lower than the street I was turning from. It was "clunking" sound as well. But the car is gone now and so far my 2019 has exhibited minimal weirdness. Yesterday my center touchscreen froze up for a bit but it cleared itself within 15 seconds or so.Astros wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:48 pmWe had that sound on our 2019 SL Plus, also coming from the front left axle.
