    is removing head rest safe?

    Only rear headrests, and only on cars that never have anyone in the back seat. The purpose is to enhance rearward vision. If I ever took someone for a ride back there, I'd certainly replace the headrest.

    grey grilles on black car - alternatives?

    I've used Plastidip - both spray and dip versions. The dip-in-it version is much more durable, while the spray stuff comes off easily with a fingernail, and I don't care for the look on a car. I think shiny black matching the car color would be fine.

    grey grilles on black car - alternatives?

    Good thought - anyone with Titanium or other color want to work a swap? Otherwise, I'm planning to have a body shop spray them to match the black car.

    Cargo Net for Chevy Bolt

    Chevy now lists one under Accessories, but no clue as to how it installs.

    myChevrolet app vehicle status does not update

    Somehow the absurd hidden behavior of pull down to refresh had escaped me. Is there a good reason why this is not documented in the app?

    myChevrolet app vehicle status does not update

    It usually takes several tries to connect while BLOT is in my garage. I've also noticed that it rarely updates tire pressures. Now I've got a new problem - I traded-in my Spark for the Bolt, but can't get rid of it in the app (I did remove it from the web site). Overall, it's pretty offal (sic).

    Selecting a Level-2 Charger

    There is almost nothing you can do with a wi-fi connected EVSE that you cannot do with the my.chevrolet web site or the available smartphone app for iPhone or Android. The Bolt has all that stuff, so there is no point in paying for a redundant set of capabilities in an EVSE.

    grey grilles on black car - alternatives?

    I've got a black Bolt, and don't care for the grey front "grilles". I'm thinking of either buying the black ones that other colors use, or just spraying them black to match the car. Has anyone done either of these tweaks on a black Bolt? Got pix?

    Article - no navigation on Bolt

    I responded to him with the following, which I think pretty well covers the pro point of view: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just took delivery of a Bolt, and like the car a lot. As to no factory nav, that’s the way I’d prefer it, by a country...

    How many actual Bolt owners on this forum?

    One more, as of yesterday. Got my black Premiere and ordered Oregon license plate "BLOT". I believe that makes 36 owners?

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - DATA COLLECTION & REPORT HERE

    For me (5'9, 145lbs.) the seats are excellent and very sporty, aside from the horrid front headrests, which push my head forward and give me a serious stiff neck. I can't figure out how to detach them from the seats to straighten them up a few degrees - there is no apparent way to slide them up...

    1000 mile owner mini-review

    The old maxim: "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slowly." I agree with you. I sold my BMW 1M last summer and now enjoy my Spark EV and my (Thursday) Bolt just as much, and with less concern about someone keying it or stealing it.

    Renault has never made anything but POS models. Their cars are widely mocked in the rest of Europe, as being one or two steps above Yugos.

    Wheel size not 17x7" ?

    I'm pretty sure I've read multiple sources that state that the OEM Bolt wheels are 17x7". Unfortunately, this video shows that they are only 17x6.5". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDC-srXIHC8 I checked on the Chevy web site, and it confirms 17x6.5". This makes upgrade wheel selection a bit...

    1000 mile owner mini-review

    Oiler - get over yourself. Some of us actually enjoy spirited driving quite safely, while others prefer slow heavy cars that are like being transported in an overstuffed sofa. You don't speak for the Forum, so keep the personal attacks down.

    1000 mile owner mini-review

    The Bolt doesn't have to be a Porsche - it's all about the Old Car Guy's adage "It's a lot more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slowly." I'm with Fargoneandout: the Bolt suspension can handle better, grippier tires, and it will be even more fun to drive with a good set of summer...

    Good review - thanks. I expect that the stock tires on mine (coming next week) will be going away soon in favor of some good summer tires, which should greatly reduce the torque steer.
