    If you look carefully, you will note the article is from March 2018. This was shortly after the information about battery degradation became available. Things were a bit puzzling as the 30kWh-pack is using more or less the same cells than the pack with 24kWh, just more of them. A few weeks ago Nissan issued a statement, blaming the degradation on faulty software, miscalculating the actual range. You can read more about it here:

    Although a major inconvenience, the degradation is much less than anticipated. Nissan owners will get a software update fixing the bug when service is due. As a Tesla owner I get my updates over the air...

    There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
    And there are people who drive Discovery.

    But it seems to me that Nissan cannot know the result yet.
