Bolt crashes itself

I make no assertions about whether this means anything, is fake news, whatever. Just posting an article that might interest Bolt owners.

That looks a LOT different than the Tesla crash... I wonder if I should chock my wheels now I guess this is the risk we take buying the first model year.

I will say, it kind of looks like the car rolled down hill, judging by the little drainage ditch thing in front of the door. That said, it should have put itself in park.

I hope they get to the bottom of this, and on that note, does anybody know if they can OTA update the powertrain firmware of the car? Or is it just the head unit?

Indeed, the article https://electrek.co/2017/01/19/chevy-bolt-ev-owner-claims-crashed-into-his-garage/ specifically refers to the thread http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5680 right on these forums.

So the thread here on these forums is the primary source, while the article on electrek.co is a secondary source.
