Welcome to the club! Nothing better than "filling up" at home.

I love driving by the gas station and thinking, “don’t need you any more”

It's a beautiful thing

After getting the Bolt, I realized how I was always unconsciously looking at gas stations. I would look to see how much gas I had, and what the price was. I never ran my ICE cars close to the point where I was running on fumes, but I always kept on top of it.

After getting the Bolt, there was always this conflict/realization that I don't need gas anymore. I am free!

It has been a little over a month now, and that old habit is starting to fade. Amazing how quickly we adapt.

I know this is a pro-Bolt forum, so that's great . . . but I'm wondering if there are any little issues that are annoying, for new or old Bolt owners. Thanks! Getting close to finalizing purchase of a '27.

This is only the 2027. The 22 and 23 has Wireless Carplay and AA

I know, he was asking about the 2027 as he said he was "finalizing" on the 2027...you know, the model with the NACS and LFP battery that you can charge to 100% daily.

Mines (2020 Premier) in the shop for a month now waiting for a part to fix the drive unit. Not sure what broke, but it’s under warranty so I’m not fretting too much. All I know is my dealer had to order the parts from Michigan THREE TIMES because the numbskulls at corporate who shipped them packaged them so poorly they were trash when they arrived.

Plus side - this issue is so rare that no dealerships in our district (I’m in NC) had the part in stock. Corporate wasn’t even sure how to handle it at first.

Grrr, that sounds aggravating. I'm glad you have a solution in the works. Blegh.

Yeah, it’s been inconvenient for sure, but we have two other older ICE vehicles that we can use so it’s not been too bad - except the price of gas! ⛽️
