Relatedly, if you distrust the used EV market statistics and they are still very weird compared to used ICE sales (because among other things the "average span of time under the first owner" of an EV is still crazy high with respect to previous ICE norms) or at least just generally like further evidence: Did you know that many early Leaf owners leased their batteries from Nissan? Nissan has plenty of reason to under-report exact statistics, of course, of how those leases went, but if battery "degradation" were a real problem, certainly Nissan would have felt it on their bottom line (which they didn't).
Relatedly, did you know that Nissan has a division like Tesla's PowerWall? Do you know why you haven't heard or seen from that division? Unlike PowerWall, Nissan's division promised to source entirely from "second use" batteries. (Most PowerWalls are built with new batteries straight from the factory.) Nissan keeps the division on the books, but so far has sourced so few "second use" batteries in the real world that they've not actually built much or delivered much or done any consumer marketing for that battery wall division.
