I agree. My hauling needs are modest.
- My travel folding power wheelchair.
- Occasionally my big fancy heavy home power wheelchair (full power seating tilt/recline/elevate/legs, lights, lithium, back up camera, USB charging, high speed 8.5 MPH 120 amp package, etc).
- A DC travel fridge.
- A...
I never said it wouldn't affect range, but it is possible. For example, there is a YouTube channel called "Our Solar Electric Trailer Journey" where they tow a 1395 pound A-Liner Scout with their Bolt, on trips as long as 1,000 miles.
Is it recommended by GM? Nope. Is it doable if you're...
I too could not find an EUV for MSPRP, so when I found this 2017 Bolt EV with a fresh battery and battery warranty from December of 2021 for $18k, I took it. The EUV really doesn't add much, and because of the aerodynamic losses caused by the body changes, it lost a few percent of its range.
I...
Of course. And even if I do exceed the get back radius of one charge (227 miles total at 88% charge, so about 113 miles each way), I can always charge at a public charger. A few are even free, although charger reliability isn't perfect, so it's always smart to reserve some range to make it to a...
Progressive, full coverage, at least until September. Who knows what'll happen then, given the current insurance market. Althugh I did not opt for rental coverage, I do have the top end AAA roadside plan, and they do cover a one day rental if my vehicle is towed.
It's not me worrying early about a '24, it was dealers who sent out emails to people with unbuilt '23 orders, and those people will have to resubmit their orders as '24 models probably tomorrow.
At least on mine, it's really obvious if you've plugged it in or not, as it beeps audibly when initiating a charge, and it has a clearly visible status light on the dashboard that uses color and flashing to indicate charging status from a distance. Of course it also has connectivity and the...
I have a 'cheap' chinese folding carbon fiber and lithium ion chair that weighs in at around 39 pounds, that fits in the back of my vehicle. It's only my travel chair and is somewhat uncomfortable, but it mostly works. I also keep forearm crutches as a very short distance emergency backup option.
No, you can't. Further, if you'd bother to research instead of just making stupid comments, you'd see that this is the third iteration of the hardware, that the system has existed for years on the market without a single fatality attributed to it, and that it is only an assist system, NOT self...
Look at it this way, it leaves a build slot for people who really need/want one!
Short version: I'm beyond thrilled with my 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV.
When I moved into my new rural California property in March 2023 (coming from the city and not needing a vehicle), I found a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt...
Whether or not it can do that, you should NEVER trust it to do so.
You are always fully liable for anyone that gets hurt or killed. The system is not self-driving in any way, no matter how short a period of time. You should treat it as a day 1 driver, with your own hands on the wheel at all...
I also don't eat while driving. I'll drink something, if it has a straw and doesn't come into my view when drinking from it.
I can't believe the sheer number of people that don't treat driving as deadly serious. It's not something to approach as "meh" or "no big deal", because one mistake at...
Seriously. Why is it so difficult to just put the phone down and focus only on your driving?
It's probably extreme, but I remember when mobile phones on the AMPS system were new (think "Motorola bag phone", they were analog, and couldn't even text), and I've watched them evolve from there.
I...
It would be just fine and cause no damage. All it would do is burn some gas, which Ford covered.
It's also possible that the truck was not left on by the transporter, but that the truck underwent factory testing, or was left on to check out during its pre-delivery inspection, neither of which...
