There is a switchover point in Leaf model years where they went to more active battery cooling and cars after that point are seeing a lot less degradation as we would all expect. It's relatively recent (like 2020 or 2021 model year) so it will take a while for the highly degraded Leafs to stop being a complaint of the used market. That said, even the most highly degraded Leafs have gone to the used market for resale as cars. They are still plenty useful even with degraded ranges. Nissan expected more of the batteries to need recycling and/or move to secondary uses by now and so far the majority of batteries are still in primary use and the cars are defying that expectation and remaining cars actively on the road.
