Nissan dealing with charges of Leaf battery problems in Arizona [w/video]

I wonder if there are triggers that make the problem worse for some owners than others. Like charging to full capacity in the daytime in the heat. Or deep discharge of the battery on hot days compared to shallow discharges. Or parking outside in the sun compared to covered parking. It seems like the wide differences Leaf owners are experiencing between cars would likely be traceable back to something that Nissan could address if they knew what the trigger was. If I were Nissan, I'd be begging the folks with the worst problems to let me pack their cars with sensors and let me figure out what was going on in exchange for something. Something like a new battery pack and an extended warranty with specific battery capacity guarantees. Hopefully they can come up with some fixes before they start production in the US this fall.
