    The Chevy Bolt Is the Ugly Car of the (Very Near) Future

    Because it is wrong. Erroneous usage of a simple term is even more egregious than misusing a complex or difficult word. The Bolt is neither economical nor boxy. It is therefore NOT an econobox. I wish I could let you slide on this one, I really do. But where would it end? Next thing you...

    Bolt or Volt?

    Thanks Michael. I totally see where you're coming from, and once again I agree with pretty much all your observations. It's just that of all these little compromises, none of them happens to bother me particularly. That will obviously vary from person to person. Yes, the controls could be...

    Bolt or Volt?

    I agree with all of this, but I can't think of a missing luxury feature that I really care much about. What specific shortcomings (aside from the seat padding) made up your mind? Just curious. Good luck with the Volt, drive it in good health.

    There was an error connecting to your vehicle!

    They're escalating? That's awesome! For sure the app will be fixed in no time flat!

    1st Malfunction

    Yeah, it does that too. Another one I get sometimes is I plug my android phone in and the car says there is no compatible device connected. Sometimes the phone will say that the car and phone are running incompatible software versions. I just restart the Bolt's infotainment system, and...

    The Chevy Bolt Is the Ugly Car of the (Very Near) Future

    I get what you're trying to say, and I largely agree with it. But regardless of how you'd like to define it, an economy car is an inexpensive car. And the Bolt just is not inexpensive. You are entitled to say it has economy seats or economy doors or an economy dash, but it is not an economy...

    Infotainment and cluster screens

    It works fine for me. I live in a pretty sunny location, and almost never have difficulty with this from glare.

    1st Malfunction

    Yes, it happens a lot. It goes away after a while, or you can just restart the infotainment display.

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    I did, as reported above. I'm guessing this affects a significant number of early production Bolts, but maybe they fixed it and you won't see it in recent units. I'm planning to take it in for service, but I'm stalling because I don't enjoy the hassle of dealing with clueless dealer staff and...

    Reflection on side mirrors

    No, it's a reflection of the white dashboard plastic, which is the same regardless of interior color. I notice it rarely, when the sun is at just the wrong angle. Even when the reflection does appear, I'm able to see through it. It's a flaw/annoyance, but a very minor one for me.

    Unfortunately Bolt is still a compliance car from GM

    What an odd, self-contradictory thing to say! This is a Bolt forum, so quite obviously it is mainly about 'which car'. Sounds like what you're looking for is a good global warming forum. I highly recommend this one: http://climateaudit.org/ :)

    Driving in "L" on freeways?

    And "there is never a slow down" is a fantasy!

    The Chevy Bolt Is the Ugly Car of the (Very Near) Future

    Nobody seems to know the meaning of the word 'econobox' anymore. An econobox is by definition boxy, i.e. rectangular, full of right angles. The Bolt does not fit that description at all. It's also not an economy car, though it does have some cheap features.

    There was an error connecting to your vehicle!

    Almost always it works if you Force Stop the app, and restart it. Between the connection failures and the slow response times, it is a very poor app.

    What is the flow of no traffic?

    Two week review after 700 miles

    What is the 'rear cubby'?

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    ontheseven - Guess it's not all of us, then. Thanks. Dr. D - Thanks for the info. My dealer was not helpful either.

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    I did a ~35-minute test this morning, and got the same kind of results rybolt graphed. I set the Bolt's thermostat to 74, fan on Auto. Temp in the front seats rose to 86 degrees. I would not be surprised if the car got to 89 degrees as rybolt's did, if I were to continue running the climate...

    HVAC heating temperature window

    I have observed similar faulty behavior in my Bolt's climate control, but I had not measured it. Wow - the error is 15 degrees!!! This is definitely not normal, and not satisfactory. Are all Chevrolet Bolt EVs defective in this regard? Can my Chevrolet dealer repair the defect?

    Front parking camera stays on

    Yes, I'm certain. I checked and saw the updated version number reported on the Bolt's display. V14.1.0 did not fix the parking camera display problem, and other problems remain too - spontaneous reboots and random black screens, for me.
