It was IIHS that said that the headlamps made too much glare.

Looking further, seems I was half-right on Prius versus Prius Prime economy (in hybrid mode): EPA numbers: 56 (58/53) Prius Eco 54 (NA/NA) Prius Prime 52 (54/50) Prius CR numbers: 52 (43/59) Prius 50 (NA/NA) Prius Prime

The regular Prius (not Prime) is a better road trip car than either the Prius Prime or the Volt, due to better gasoline fuel economy and greater interior room. Seems that the Prius Prime has a relatively narrow set of optimal users -- those whose driving patterns involve a mix of very short...

If you prefer more or different padding in the seat back, you may want to see http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7499 for links to another video where someone adds padding to the seat back.

For those who want more padding in the seat back, someone made a video describing how to do it. The process appears more involved than adding padding in the seat bottom (shown in http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6157 ), though it does not involve irreversible modifications...

http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6157 describes a different modification for those who find the seat bottom to be too narrow between the bolsters (adding foam under the middle of the seat cushion). This modification is easily reversible if desired.

3,227 Bolts sold in the US in December 2017, total of 23,297 for all of 2017. https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/

If a full size spare tire is in there, will the cargo area carpet be flat below the false floor (or if there is no false floor installed)?

In recent driving just before recharging, were you getting worse economy, commonly due to using the heater? The bar graph of economy in 5 mile chunks may be a useful thing to look at.

http://www.motortrend.com/cars/tesla/model-3/2017/the-automobile-2-0-chevrolet-bolt-ev-premier-vs-nissan-leaf-sl-vs-tesla-model-3-long-range/ Perhaps not a coincidence that the Model 3 is the most sporty, while the Leaf is the least sporty? (Car reviewers commonly tend to favor sportier cars.)

The selection of self-sealing and run-flat tires is very limited. Currently, the only option in the same size is the OEM tire with self-sealing. If you do not want to carry a spare tire, your main options are: a. Choose a self-sealing tire. b. Choose a non-self-sealing tire, and carry a...

The Bolt's OEM tires are not run-flats. They are self-sealing tires, with the sealant goo already in the tire to seal punctures. It is possible that you may not even know that a puncture occurred if it successfully self-seals...

See page 259 of the owner's manual.

Yes, it is the Arctic Blue color that is the only non-grayscale non-extra-cost color currently offered on the Bolt.

Most EVs tend to have lower insurance losses than non-EVs (e.g. compare e-Golf versus Golf or Spark EV versus Spark). However, the Tesla Model S and Model X have worse collision losses than other vehicles in their class. http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/insurance-loss-information Of course...

Of course, there are tire choices between economy-at-all-costs and performance-at-all-costs. Someone looking for a higher performance tire that still gives good economy and range may want to consider tires like: Continental PureContact with EcoPlus Michelin Premier A/S Michelin Primacy MXM4...

In Canada, do Bolts come with the self-seal tires (Michelin Energy Saver with SelfSeal) that have the goo in them already?

Did the goo that was already in the tire prevent it from going completely flat, or slow the rate of air loss so that you could get to the tire repair shop?

Dealers looking for service revenue often recommend more or more frequent maintenance than the manufacturer does. For most drivers, the manufacturer recommendation is sufficient.

The instrument panel will go to dark background mode with the user-selected brightness setting when the car detects that it is dark outside (when turning on the headlamps due to darkness). The day mode is customizable to one of two light backgrounds or the same dark background as the night...
