After owning three Bolts and examining them closely I still believe the 2017 was the best built Bolt although my 2023 EUV Premier is a great car. If you notice the rear suspension on the 2017 is aluminum, the front stabilizer bar on the 2017 was a recall so GM should have changed it out for...

I think the 2017 was the best built Bolt. Quite a list of cars Jack!

Great creativity! I like it, I remember the old Saab's, people either loved them or hated them. I liked it until I drove it but never liked the way the car drove. It had a lot of room though. I liked the Volvo's too but think they drove better, the Saab reminded me of a 1953 power glide...

In 2018 I bought Blizzak WS80, 16" aluminum rim from Tirerack. I've been using them on every Bolt we've owned since then. I bought a Sonic spare tire and it fits in the trunk under the partition, I put in an inflator and tire iron with scissor jack also.

How long have you owned a Bolt? I remember when we got our first Bolt, it was also our first EV and I drove around for a couple of months thinking how cool it was to be powered by batteries and charge from my own PV system. Since we're both retired we have the luxury of charging on sunny days...

Thanks Sean, I'm pretty good with battery algorithms and have been careful with the Bolt, I charge it on 'hilltop' 90% of the time and, because we're retired, we rarely run the battery under 100 mile range so what you say makes sense. The other owner who needs a replacement showed up at the...

HI, My 2017 Bolt has just been updated. I was told I don't need a new battery BUT a person at the dealer the same day with a later purchase date was told he does. Why is that and why if my VIN number shows the old battery aren't I getting a new one? After the update I noticed my battery level...

The problem (I don't know if the links you posted pertains to that) is that you can mount tires on the original wheels but then twice a year you have to have them changed back. I want to use steel wheels and just put them on and take them off at home. At $400 a wheel the originals just cost too...

I got a response from GM. They said they don't care but when you return the car it has to have all original parts on it. So if you want to change the tires it's OK.

Thanks Brian, I got a price from Tire Rack for Mich ICE with temp sensors for around $726 which I think i s pretty good. Rob

Hi, I checked with my dealer about snow tires for the winter (I now have All Season) and apparently GM only runs cast wheels and there is no option for steel rims. The cost to put snow tires on wheels so that I can just change them off myself is $2500 because the wheels cost $400 each. Is it...

Right! This is a first edition, first year car and mine came without one problem, squeak or rattle. Nothing, and that is a massive accomplishment on GM's part. This, by the way, is my first GM so I'm not a blind fanboy. I was talking with a Tesla owner who said he's had several issues, "but...

Yes, my radio is on but who cares? I can't hear anything, if I turn it up I hear it. If I leave it at a specific volume, it's at that volume on start up. So it's not 'technically' off but it functions the same as off. What's it drawing 100ma.? Tesla's have cracked paint, leaky windshields and a...

you don't need a "work around"

Or this: Audio/ menu/ auto volume/ select off and turn the radio on and the volume all the way down. When the car comes on it should be off. You can also reach these in the "Settings" menu. Rob

Corvette? It's an EV! Maybe they can make it smell like an old truck with a leaky gas tank while they're at it. I like the swoosh it reminds me that I just drove over 5k miles and didn't spend a dime on gas or go into a gas station. It reminds me that I don't have to get oil changes, fan...

ditto!

Lucky for him you didn't! :lol:

I agree!

Engineers constantly balance parameters. There may very well be a reason why they chose to do it with the traction control and not other means, they've been building cars a long time. I'm sure they know exactly what and how much torque steer they would get and I'm sure there are good reasons...
