Ah, GM finally delivers that electric Chevette they promised in 1978. :-\
I'll still never forgive them for what they did to the EV1.
As you well know, GM's sins extend far beyond what they did with the
EV1. They insured that the only battery at the time suitable for an EV
would never be used in an EV. Not only did they kill their own EV1
program, they set back EV development for ALL EV and potential EV makers
by ~15 years.
No sense in cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I'd HAVE to cut my nose off to buy one of those. I wouldn't be able to hold
it long enough to get out of the showroom.
I'm certainly with David here. I will claim that anyone that is willing
to buy a Bolt just hasn't been informed of GM history.
Besides, it has that bloody Onstar spyware. But then that's not much
different from having Elon Musk riding in the back seat of every Tesla.
David, i suspect you have not yet had your Tesla test drive. I
encourage you to do so.
Apparently, OnStar will give the Bolt the capability of doing "over the
air updates" as Tesla does. But GM will not use that capability; every
Bolt will have to be taken to a dealer to have such updates installed.
One of the many joys of owning a Tesla is that you wake up every once in
a while with a software update that adds new capabilities, corrects
problems, or just generally makes things nicer.
