30 kwhr - lettuce battery, looses capacity faster than 2015 and sometimes completely drops a cell
40kwhr battery- too new to really tell appears to be better than 30kwhr but that’s not saying much
60kwhr battery- too new to tell

The data on the 30 kWhr battery is interesting - I wonder if any further follow-up was done. If the battery continued to degrade at 9.95 per year Nissan would have to replace them under warranty after 3 years. I wonder if they initially drop a lot and then the decline tapers off.
