    Adaptive Cruise Control

    The Bolt does not have Adaptive Cruise control. BUT it does have most other modern Safety features, such as too close following distance warning.

    Waiting for a Bolt

    It is frustrating. You get a build date, an intransit date, and still wait. Then you see your car and VIN as inventory at the dealership.,you check with sales and find that the listing is automatic, even before delivery to the dealership. Frustrating! I can track a $1 Amazon order, and keep...

    Which Fast Chargers Are Compatible With The Bolt?

    I believe the CCS is also sometimes called a Combo. Use Plugshare and filter to show just those chargers. In a pinch, you can use the lower power J1772 , but they only add about 25 miles/HR. The j1772 is MUCH more common, but takes up to 9.5 hours for a full charge. Also, check the networks for...

    Premier or LT

    I got the Premier, hopefully delivered this week. I drove a Leaf SL, which is the loaded model . I water blind spot sensor (which my wife's Camry had), and details the all around camera, which my Leaf had. A fast charge port should be standard on any EV. Get It! For the cost, letting the Feds...

    Battery Thermal Management

    Recall all of the early battery degradation and early failures with original Leaf batteries. Nissan had to change chemistries to combat this.. Nevertheless, with the passive cooling system, if seems they still degrade at a higher rate. They heat up while driving and sitting outside in hot...

    How long will my Bolt be in QA?

    Wouldn't it be nice if GM would create a site where we could check on our own orders, rather than having to on-line Chat with the nice people. I can track a $2 Amazon order, almost to the minute of when delivery will happen, yet I can't do that with my $40,000 Car. I had the same issue when I...

    Parking car at airport

    I have a 2013 leaf. I leave my car in an unheated garage for 2-3 weeks 3 times a year. I leave it unplugged, and it is always fine, except once with an old 12 volt battery that failed in cold weather. Remember early Leafs were shipped by ship from Japan, and driven off the boat. On another...

    Coast -to-coast dreaming

    My son and I were having a brainstorming session, and began considering what it would take to drive a Bolt coast to coast. Tesla a few years ago did a 5-day San Francisco to New York publicity trip with 2 cars. Of course, they had a proprietary system to rely on. Today, for a Bolt to do so...

    Order Updates?

    I ordered my Leaf from Maryland also. This dealership is less than 1/2 mile from the border and a university town, so they often " deliver" to Delaware and register here. I won't pay MD sales taxes, and just the DE fees. I will also be able to receive the DE $3500 rebate for Delaware...

    Order Updates?

    I was allowed to place an actual factory order today! In MARYLAND! That is months earlier than in Delaware. We will see how soon it comes. Their thinking is in April, but we will see.

    Fishtailing

    That sounds unusual for a front wheel drive car.

    Torn on color and thoughts on wraps

    From your description, I would be uncomfortable with the dealership. I hate high pressure salespeople, as well as disinterested ones. I will walk away from such situations. Its your money, and they should appreciate a chance to earn it. Last niche car I bought, I visited 5 dealerships(50 mile...

    L2 Chargers For The Home

    I have had a Schneider charger for 3.5 years for my Leaf. I ordered it from Home Depot , and hired an electrician to run a 30 amp line to the garage. At the time, the charger was half the price of the others on the market, and we got a tax credit on top of it. The idea of a charger is to...

    Test drive at San Diego Auto Show

    The San Diego Auto show started today 12/29. The brochure lists a Bolt as one of the test drives available. I grew up there, but live 3200 miles away. I hope someone gets a chance to get there.
