    Call Chevy Customer Service and ask them to discontinue OnStar for the car.

    My bitch list for the Bolt

    Here's another solution: Light Dims. I use these on the LEDs in my stereo system and TV. Pre-cut thin plastic sheet pieces that reduce or block the light output from LEDS and other gadgets. http://www.amazon.com/LightDims-Original-Strength-Electronics-Appliances/dp/B009WSJNCW

    Is there a plan for a dual charger option?

    It would still be a $750-1000 option at a guess, and thus unlikely to be a viable option. Don't hold your breath.

    EVgo DC chargers were horrible up until the beginning of 2018. They're still not perfect, but improvement is being made.

    They also seem to have listed every L2 station they could find - accessible or not.

    Here's an unaesthetic modification - the Chevy side decal, taken from the Bolt Accessories page:

    Tesla 3 in wild??

    The Model 3 isn't a "small" car - it is only 12" shorter than a Model S. Just saying.

    How long will my Bolt be in QA?

    If the IT staff at GM couldn't deliver a web page to track status of on-order cars in a month, they ought to be embarrassed. In fact, they should be embarrassed because they haven't already done so...

    Flat Tire after one week--Car has to be towed

    Since it most likely went flat slowly, the air pump could at least get you to a safe place even without the goop.

    Is there a plan for a dual charger option?

    a) Where would you put a second charger? Look under the hood - not a lot of free space there. b) As a one-in-a-hundred-choose-it option it would be expensive - would you really want to pay an extra thousand dollars or so for this? c) Installing an 80a-capable EVSE would get expensive for a 100a...

    There was an error connecting to your vehicle!

    The mychevrolet web site commonly gives this error with my SparkEV. It is also remarkable for its poor performance when it does work. The app is much more reliable.

    NOT HAPPY with brake lamps in L mode.

    The "bootlegger turn" doesn't need much braking, because the mechanical parking brake only works on the rear wheels, and they don't have much weight on them when braking transfers weight to the front. The handbrake is also commonly used in autocross to break adhesion on the rear tires, because...

    Flat Tire after one week--Car has to be towed

    Good argument for an inflator kit.

    NOT HAPPY with brake lamps in L mode.

    Even though it was called the emergency brake by the ignorant, it was specifically designed for use only as a parking brake, and wouldn't stop a moving car soon enough to matter.

    NOT HAPPY with brake lamps in L mode.

    and #3 - Your reactions will remain trained for the occasional times when you have to drive a non-EV, so you and others won't die because you thought the car would stop when you lifted off the accelerator and frantically tapped the back of the steering wheel.

    NOT HAPPY with brake lamps in L mode.

    In any ICE car with manual transmission, the brake lights may not be on when stopped anyway, if the driver is foolish enough not to keep a foot on the brake when stopped. Think about this - do you really want to roll out into the middle of an intersection if someone hits you from behind while...

    Is there a plan for a dual charger option?

    Probably never going to be a priority for the Bolt.

    Charging Chervolet bolt with portable charger on 220v outlet
