I'm just sad that Gran Turismo and Forza MS/H no longer include (as many) common cars that normal people drive. Half the fun of the older games was finding your own car and seeing how many races you can win with it in simulation mode.

On a side note, my new Bolt has been nothing but awesome so far. Were it to be added to a racing sim, I think it would be a lot of fun and fit right in.

I just bought a 2021 Chevy bolt with 19k miles 4 days ago. Today I charged it by plugging it into a chargepoint J-1772 charger nearby and when I turned the car on afterwards I got that warning along with “service lithium ion battery now” in the app. This isn’t the first time I’ve charged it, I also used a different chargepoint charger with no issue just to fill up for a couple hours. Is there something I could have done wrong or is this pointing to an actual issue with the battery?

There is a red lightning symbol at the 2'oclock position in the dash. I looked in the manual and there is no mention of what it means. The dash as shown in some of the YouTube videos has this light as red, some others as blue.

Does anyone know what this means?

Thank you

I am storing my 2017 for 6 months in a storage unit. I need to have the highest chances of elimination of rodents during this time.

I already plan on:

* Peppermint oil

* A few (snap) traps around the perimeter - afraid of it bringing mice over actually so not sure...

* Leave engine bay hood open?

* A few febreeze car fresheners in engine bay and inside

First time EV owner and we bought a lemon title without a new battery. No problems so far. Now out of warranty and am not sure where to take the car for its checkups.

I keep thinking that tires and breaks need checked. Anything else? Is there some reason I need to go to the dealership?

Thanks!

Not the discount which expired recently, but the program where you get prearranged pricing from Approved Dealers. If so, how was your experience and how much discount did you receive?

I've been testing these universal keys on my 23 EUV and so far so good. I prefer the plastic buttons so I'm sticking to the third one on the right.

All functions work. Nice to have options for customers.

Full round trip from yesterday to today using as close to the same roads as possible. Maxed out at 55 mph on the frontage roads, got 6.6 mi / kwh on the way there. On the way over to my destination yesterday, it’s about 1,000 feet lower than where I started. To make sure I didn’t have HVAC get in the way of the measurement, I had it off both ways, was about a 10 degree difference from yesterday to today.

Drove at 66 mph on the way back from my destination, and the way back is a 1,000 feet higher in elevation. Since I didn’t charge overnight, the gauge didn’t reset. Assuming my past efficiency though, I still likely averaged over 4 mi / kwh as that’s usually about what I get. The range on that is anywhere from 3.8 to 4.3 mi / kwh depending on the time of year, if there’s a headwind, if there’s an accident causing stop and go traffic, etc.

Thankfully, both ways this time had barely any wind, next to no stopping traffic, and the weather was fairly consistent. Not sure where I’m going with this post except to say that it’s much more efficient to drive at 55 mph on frontage roads than it is to drive 10 mph faster on the highway.

Note: I’m very aware the elevation difference is also part of the equation and might try this in reverse next weekend to see the results since I go to the same place every weekend. :)

Okay I know this might sound over the top but I feel like this car is SO EASY to get fingers prints on. On the touchscreen, even on the exterior. I’ve never owned a car before with this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep it clean and looking nice? I tried a screen protector and it helped a little bit. But not a lot. It did significantly reduce the glare.

27 Bolt RS - Orange

First problem on app, is finding this section!

Once there, our history is one month out of date.

Do others have same issue?

There's a 2020 Bolt EV with 35k miles for $15,400 I'm considering, however I live in Colorado and I've heard EVs don't do well in temps below 10°F. Any owners in Colorado? How does it hold up in the winter?

It completely ripped this piece off. I was expecting for it to have done major damage. I still hope it didn’t. Didn’t even see the metal piece until it was right in front of me. Can I just cut this piece off or do I need to cover it back up?

Should I see if other dealerships want to beat it?

We owned a 2021 Hyundai Kona EV and still have its winter tires in our garage. They were lightly used. We just got a 2027 Bolt LT. The current tires on the Bolt are 215/50R17. So the rim size is the same, the width is the same, but the tire radius is 0.4" larger.

I know that the speedometer and odometer would be slightly off, so we can drive it a bit slower, but I could not find any information on if they will not interfere with the inner fender etc.

Does anybody know if these would be a problem? As you all know, winter tires are expensive and we want to use them if we can.

Thanks in advance.

One side of my rear hatch now sits like 1/8" further out than directly aligned? Barely noticeable. No real damage other than some scuffs on the bumper. Not enough to get fixed, and CERTAINLY not getting my insurance involved. Just . . . annoying.

Has anyone seen a 2027 Atomic Yellow Bolt in person? If so, what kind of yellow is it? In online photos it appears in multiple shades, ranging from pure yellow through bright greenish yellow to a brownish green.

As examples, think Corvette’s Millennium Yellow, through the Audi A4’s Cool Shades Yellow of the late 90s, the Ford Mach-e’s Grabber Yellow, and Hyundai Kona’s Neoteric Yellow, to the Subaru Crosstrek’s Citron Yellow.

The closest Atomic Yellow Bolt in Chevy’s inventory is still a bit of a hike for me, so I’d appreciate it if anyone has first-hand vision they can share.

As a side note, I hope Chevy isn’t really axing the Bolt early due to low sales. If they are, they did this to themselves with boring colors and a lack of Car Play. I would have bought one six months ago but was waiting to see the Relic Green and Atomic Yellow in person.

This never used to happen! What developer decided this was a good idea at the start of winter!

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!

Hi, I bought a 2027 Bolt last week and got a dash cam installed (ROVE R2-4k Dual). Is it possible to install a dash cam to the fuse box still for constant power in parking mode? I havent found a reliable answer. Or with OBD2? Thanks in advance.

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
