OK, I feel this is getting repetitive. Another day driving the damn Cruz. This time, GM has opened some escalated case and they're looking at ways to remedy this. Which might even end up being a new car. They're talking to the dealership, who has done everything they can, seeing as GM has been...

There's still time - Maybe we'll find out we all got takata airbags in a few months :lol:

And I qoute - When the service manager told me this, he laughed and said "No, really, that's almost verbatim what they said." Awesome. That's awesome. They have been working on this constantly. This is what I get for being an early adopter. The service manager (Michael at Allen Gwynn in...

Check the quality of your USB cord. The world is flooded with cables that are beyond terrible, and the gold plated cloth covered ones are no exception, nor is an expensive cable insurance against bad quality. You may have noticed that some of them don't even support data. Your phone's jack...

Your graphs are fantastic - Are you getting the data by sitting there in front of a charger with pen and paper?

I wouldn't worry about it. I used to leave my Spark EV parked at LAX for 10 days at a time, all different weather. The battery was either not full, or it was plugged in to a charger in long term parking. Never an issue. Sometimes the energy usage screen would report that some power had been used...

Those gloves are $150 a set. Wow. Yeah, I don't even want to think about the arc flash that this car could make :o I called the service department today. According to the usual guy I talk to, the "Bolt team" has been on the phone and online with GM all day and GM is "freaking out" about this...

I bet it sounds great too. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the "Bose" system in the Bolt. I don't know what involvement Bose had in the project - I've worked with them (the company) in the recent past, and they're a brilliant crew that makes gorgeous stuff. I wouldn't call the...

It's 100% P0D6B. The internets says "A/C Compressor Motor Voltage Sensor Circuit Low Voltage" - I didn't even bother to look it up, assuming GM had this stuff all locked down :-) This is for the Volt http://www.autocats.ws/manual/chevrolet/tis0911/en/documents_2012/Volt/SM-R/92563271.EN.html...

OK, so now the service department said the problem is now the air conditioner. RIIIIIIGHT. GM is interested in getting "Some serial data" from the car "cause it's so new", so they're going to keep it for a while. Probably a lot longer than I'd like, because I smell a hint of dummy. So far, I...

I park in my driveway. I live in Los Angeles, so the temperatures rarely drop below freezing for more than a few hours, and only on the coldest nights. Another day, another different story from the service department. This time they're saying it's the air conditioner compressor, which...OK, I...

Say it ain't so, but at less than 500 miles on the car, the service light came on. Thinking it was something stupid like the breaker tripping on the charging station at my work, because that would trigger an error on my Spark EV, I just read and reset them. Done....or was it?!?!?!? The codes...

The charger is one of the big EFACEC ones - 120 amps. Any chance that graph was made with hilltop reserve turned on? I use hilltop reserve out of kindness to my pack, and it promptly let me know it was enabled when I plugged in the fast charger. SO... who knows how this will work out when...

So I have to agree that I think it's a bit intense and could use an option that's a bit more minimalist - as an option to the other three or whatever. What I'd actually like to see is the speed readout on the lower half of the readout. I'm one of those guys who likes to tilt the steering wheel...

So I think the Bolt isn't such a quick charger over CCS as we might have all hoped... I plugged in my 55% charged Bolt today to a 50 KW fast charger, and it took it a full 32 minutes to bring the car up to 80%, which according to the machine, added 16 kwh to the pack. Now... I know that...

Hey there, So I've never had the opportunity to use any of those chargers, but they ones you linked to on Amazon look like total cheese in flimsy plastic boxes. Given the form factor, I'd say they probably have really cheap mechanical PCB mount relays, or solid state relays (sounds good, but...

You MIGHT in theory chew through front tires a little faster? As far as I can tell, pretty much all of the braking that happens in normal driving is happening with regeneration, so that means 100% front tires until either you stomp on the brakes, when the hydraulic brakes kick in on front and...

The torque steer on a Bolt is SIGNIFICANTLY less than on the Spark EV, which was arguably, almost bad. I had a friend describe it as "Squirrely, which I kinda like." but it was NOT in fact that great. Please check that your tires are properly inflated, and if you WANT, get the highest speed...

Anybody care to comment on hacking the splash screen or startup sound?

Nevermind the fact that Reverse in the Bolt is basically the same as 1st gear on a stick shift... RIP Anton Yelchin - Tactile feedback is very important.... and I'm SURE they could still figure out a way to get the car in to park automatically even with a "real" gear shifter. If it ain't broke...
