God I know what utter pieces of shit normal Chevys are. I can't imagine how bad electric Chevys must be.

And GM was never one to understand electricity. They make the worst wiring harnesses, do stupid shit like mounting computer modules next to the HVAC core where large heat/cold changes happen leading to corrosion. They don't use the right metals in even bulbs/sockets, so it looks like you have a burned out tail light and, lo and behold, it's just galvanic corrosion.

It is amazing they managed to get an EV to leave the lab, let alone assembly line.

It's because they design cars with accountants.

Gross. I have two bow ties. A Camaro that will eat you alive. And my daily is a Bolt EUV. Solid car. They aren't crap. You just have bad judgement.

Sure. But it only comes out of the garage for 10Gs or a good pink slip to race against.

My Chevy volt has been holding up pretty well. The whole line is dead though because I can't have nice things

Didn't they just reveal a 2027 model?

[–] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The Bolt continued, which is all-electric.

The volt were plug-in hybrids

Ah, I misread.
