    L.A. Bolt owners - Meet-up drive to Newcomb's Ranch!

    Hey! I wanted to gauge interest in possibly getting all of our ***** savagely kicked by the Mongols for a group drive up to Newcomb's ranch on the 2 / Angeles Crest Highway sometime in the fall. I saw some poor sap up there in a Fiat charging on 110 this weekend and it got me thinking...

    Anything on the 2018 model year?

    I was under the impression that cabin heating DID use the heat pump when it could - I even heard that the power electronics ran their coolant loop through the cold side of the pump in cold (or probably any weather for that matter) I kinda hate it when cars are a black box..but I don't have the...

    New owner...Looking for some hitch info ..

    I think GM sells a receiver that hooks right up, no cutting required - I don't think it's rated for towing, but for bike racks or whatever. That said, if you DO tow something, I wouldn't want to tow anything bigger than a couple kayaks or a Snark. But dumber things have been done and nobody...

    Random "Setup Keypass" nag screen on the head unit needs a mercy killing

    Hey GM - I have a suggestion... Given how squirrely Keypass is, can we PLEASE have a "Don't show this message again" checkbox on the Keypass Setup Smart Phone whatever approach detection whatever blah blah nag screen that pops up that we can't dismiss aside from waiting for 30 seconds when we...

    No Hydraulic Brakes !

    I have to say I'm pretty impressed that you didn't notice the problem when parking or with pedal feel, or see a puddle of brake fluid under the car, or that the instrument cluster wasn't completely spazzing out. Do let us know how things go. I'd be pretty nervous to find out that these cars...

    Anything on the 2018 model year?

    This family is looking to fully ditch gas and get a second Bolt, or in a distant second place, a supposedly long range 2018 Leaf soon. We don't have the stomach to wait for a Model 3. Does anybody know anything about the 2018 Bolt? I don't imagine there would be huge changes. Do we wait for...

    Keyes Chevy in Van Nuys

    they're dicks. No need to elaborate on that part. You are no doubt familiar. bought my sparkEV there, and figured I'd give them a second chance on the Bolt. It took me 4 hours to beat them back to $500 for a 15K lease on a premiere, from well over $600. I don't have a problem with them making a...

    Clicking Noise From Steering

    Can you re-post the photo outside of PhotoBucket please? I'd love to see what you're talking about. Thanks!

    Too much regen in D mode

    I'm on the fence here - I completely see your point, and you make a great argument, and nothing you say is false in any way, BUT literally everybody in the world is used to a certain behavior, and to have to re-train everybody is daunting. When somebody hops in a car, if it acts "funny" they...

    Idea: Feature to auto-set the E-brake when you park?

    What does everybody think about adding a feature to enable automatically setting the e-brake when you shift into park? This should probably be a feature that can be easily enabled or disabled, but default to being enabled (if it's not a terrible idea to begin with Maybe it would work like...

    GM Owner Advisory Panel?

    Been getting these for years. Really. Sometimes they're dumb, and sometimes they're for neat stuff like helping decide which hilltop reserve interface makes more sense. Ultimately they went with the worst one with the least options. Wish you guys woulda chimed in when you had the chance!

    Palm Springs to Phoenix

    It's a slightly different travel mindset, for sure. I have to say in my 1200 mile July 4th trip, the breaks were nice, although I was "spoiled" by DCFC units all up and down the 99. And as for those breaks, as long as they happen in halfway decent places, they're probably pretty healthy for...

    Bolt factory shutdown

    would be to advertise the Bolt. At all.

    Not ready for prime time!

    Yeah.. In my neighborhood, the only people who hang out at gas stations are meth heads, hookers and schizophrenics. Not a great place to kill an hour, or leave your car. The Whole Foods chargers are great (there's a good one in Sacramento at the natural foods cooperative too) and they have...

    Not ready for prime time!

    What's not ready for Prime Time? The car or the practically nonexistent charging infrastructure? :lol: EVgo is terrible and I hate their 30 minute policy, and have personally done a LOT of bitching about this, but it makes them a lot of money on poor saps that have to make 3 charging...

    Why does the Bolt have a gearshift in the middle?

    The LEAF immediately comes to mind. That stupid diddle-puck is the worst. Except for the 8-track style ones... The lever is for PARK. How'd ya like to grease those cables? I can feel the button splitting in two and the metal core stabbing me in the thumb just thinking about it.

    Recommended seat covers?

    Awesome! Right now I'm using a furniture blanket in the back seat for my filthy children. Some proper seat covers up front would be a good thing for my own filthy butt. Well done. Thanks!

    Results are in - Rooftop box range reduction quantified

    I checked the amount of offset that the front and rear bars have - The front is a half inch higher, so not ideal, but not crazy amounts of offset. I can easily shim it, but I think I can saw and re-drill the risers. As for my Skybox, I'm pretty sure it's a 16. That's 16 cubic feet. It's good...
