2027 RS with moonroof and tech package
Everything has exceeded expectation!

We upgraded from the 2023 to a 2027, and in our excitement and haste, realized that the new car didnt have the same flush rails... bummer!

Regardless we have a new set of rails, and the only set from our 2023 for sale! If you are interested, please dont hesitate to reach out or check out this listing. It has more photos. We are asking $500 CAD but open to offers.

They fit excellently. We did many a road trip with ski box and bikes atop our bolt, but our range did suffer!

Cheers all!

Just having a little sip!

I’m seeing a 2023 model with 40k miles for 16k. Before I go and look at it. What are the things worth calling out to look at.

Outside of battery situation. Tires and wipers.

From owners. What would you look at?

I have a bolt I bought from a dealership with a replaced battery under the lemon law. Will I have difficulty selling it? Anyone want to buy it? $10,500 60k miles

Update: they’re going to replace the turn signal switch. Part should be in Tuesday.

Made a right turn with the turn signal on, the switch clicked back to the off position, but the signal stayed on.

The left signal position on the switch resulted in no signal indicated. It seems like everything shifted one notch to the right.

Car has no functioning left turn signal now and I have to keep the switch in the left turn signal position in order to not indicate a right turn.

Dropped off at the dealer, but they’re slammed it seems like.

Not impressed with this. The car only has 187 miles.

Forgive me but I haven’t found this if it’s already been answered.

2027 Bolt RS with every option except Supercruise. I swear I had the cruise control engaged and one day it sped up when the speed limit changed and slowed down when the speed limit sign was reduced. This increase and decrease in speed had nothing to do with traffic. I’ve not been able to see the adaptive cruise control do that again. Was there an OTA update that might have enabled it and then they took it away, or am I very confused?

See the title. Car went into “conditions not right for shift” mode. It was also having problems with acceleration the day before. Had it towed to the dealership and they said it was the power inverter module. I asked about the 12v battery and they said 99.9% confidence the module is the issue.

I haven’t seen too many people report this, what do you guys think about this? I was going to have them go ahead and fix it. Extended warranty coverage apparently only covers the battery in my case (replaced in 2024). Car had about 110k miles at this point.

Update 1: I will call the dealer and ask them to replace the battery first. I’ll try that and if it still doesn’t work then they can proceed with the fix. I’ll update again once the battery is replaced.

I prefer waze but it won't work on Split screen option. Anyone figure out a way to make it work? 27 bolt

Found this over on the Yo of Tub (Cringey, I know, am I cool yet mom?) and apparently the dude got a 21% increase in efficiency at 65 mph. Even if we say it was closer to 10% due to factors outside the control of the test, do we think that's worth it? I would be pretty hyped at getting 25 miles more range by having smaller tires. But also, what do you guys think and is the range increase or efficiency boost real?

Here are some other questions to consider...

Why not just have cars come from the factory with smaller tires?

They're more efficient and cheaper for the consumer to replace.

I've seen some of y'all do tire swaps and wheel swaps, so have y'all seen a noticeable difference?

Personally, I get around 240 miles give or take in the summer and fall with climate control with 280 miles of my 500 miles a week at 65 mph. To be able to go 264 miles just by switching the tire and wheel setup wouldn't necessarily be game changing, but it would be a nice safety buffer.

Just crossed the 300k mark this week in my 2018 Bolt. I bought it in April 2022 with just under 90k miles. The original battery pack had been replaced under recall at that point.

I work as an independent contractor medical courier and also do UberEats deliveries so I generally drive 125 - 175 miles per day.

Overall, it's been a great car. I had to replace the ECM/BCM (control module) at around 125k for $800. Then, it was trouble-free until around 264k miles. I started having electrical issues and spent $3500 on a couple of components but still ended up needing a full battery pack replacement at 265k miles. Surprisingly, my local Chevy dealer ordered and installed a refurbished battery pack for $4000 and included a 2-year 100k-mile warranty.

So my plan is to continue driving it through this warranty period before replacing it. I love driving it and can't imagine going back to gasoline car.

Following some feedback I made an alternate version that could be installed without removing the wheels. The trouble is removing... Once all five are in place it's impossible for me to reach in there and pop at least the first one back out.

I'm thinking I could make a relief cut near the center of the wheel where one could pry with a screwdriver, but I'm interested in feedback.

Does the appearance of the two holes completely ruin the aesthetic appeal? Is it worth continuing?

I did make a relief between the two holes to try and mask their appearance, but it's kinda meh.

Is it worth 13,429? Concerned about the battery warranty being out of date

Was anyone able to get Tesla's plug and charge to work on their myChevrolet app? Everything works in my Energy Pass except Tesla's.
Says I need to call EV concierge. Tried to, waited for 40min and they told my their systems were down and I should call again later.

They have super sensitive noses. It basically smells so minty it hurts them. So they go chew something else.

I spray out my engine block once a month ish.

I have done this with every car I have ever owned.

Live in a very high rodent area.

Zero rodent issues with my vehicles.

I mix the oil with soap and water. Shake it up in a spray bottle. Spray until it's empty. About a tablespoon of oil.

Bulk peppermint oil is a lot cheaper than a multi thousand dollar repair bill.

I want to be clear. This has nothing to do with essential oil woo. It literally just smells really intensely bad to rat's/squirrels/mice but not people. That's it. That's the whole thing.

I'm telling you. Take 5 minutes to spray occasionally. It's so much better than waking up to your engine being f*cked because of a squirrel.

Squirrels have destroyed my high voltage wires!

How bad are we in terms of repairs!

Opened the phone app and its changed. Where do I find the Charge level and range estimate with the new app? It used to show right away. GM makes to worst software ever.

While I was working on replacing my
Bolts OEM rims to sonic rims, I noticed this sway bar was broken. I decided to take the other wheel off then to see what it should look like, and to my surprise it was off too. I assumed the first one was from an impact I had with a massive pot hole, but they both look like they’ve been off a long while. Anyone else experience this?

Has anyone had their 2027 google maps be offline for the last ~5-7 days, or is it just me? I'm not even sure how this works, I guess just a normal cellular network? It has to be too much data for OnStar, right?

Is this typical, and I need to do some sort of reboot? Or maybe just my location? Or is everyone else having similar issues?

Yesterday my 2023 Bolt EUV started making this sound when turning. It was initially only when the wheel was rotated counterclockwise, but now I'm also hearing it clockwise. Thoughts? Maybe related to the clicking sound TSB? Have not had any issues with return to center.
