Then they should report the real range and not the battery damaging range? 

In 4-5 years, if GM holds to form, the Bolt will be a very good reliable vehicle that nobody wants because everyone will know how bad it sucks based on the first 1-2 years of production.

an estimated 141,000 vehicles from model years 2017 to 2022

I think the overall headline that

This is exactly right. This structural piece is sufficiently contained within the car that if it is damaged the vehicle is a writeoff in almost all circumstances. I’m fine with it being non-repairable.

Yeah the various premium brands cost a lot to repair even for a crash that does not affect the chassis (even rear bumper and trunk damage costs like $10k to repair). If you get into a crash severe enough to damage this part (which is deep within the vehicle) the chances the car would have been totalled anyways, is…

Because realistically, EV’s would consist of Volt’s and shitty hybrids right now if it wasn’t for him.

Its not a serviceable piece and will only come into play after a wreck. I as a consumer who pays insurance am fine with saving upfront costs at the potential for a wrecked vehicle later. If my car gets rear ended enough where the structure is damaged I dont want it anymore, even if someone could repair it. I want it…

You lean on a unibody wrong and its totaled. Sure there is a salvage market for cars in a second life where some kid takes a hammer to it and tries to make a few grand buying a total’d car and selling it a few weeks later. Problem is insurance with those salvaged titles can be high or not even allowed, and I get why,…

I love Elon

Apple has solidified the Apple Car’s roadmap, which will result in a fully autonomous self-driving electric vehicle by 2025.

honestly I don’t think the repairability is going to be an issue, if you even have a minor fender bender in a modern car there are so many sensors to replace that the car gets written off as totaled 9 times out of 10. I guess the big thing is going to be if you have a new car have good insurance.

That’s a really stupid reason to be anti-union.

“Congress should not enact proposals that favor vehicles produced by one workforce over another, particularly when doing so dramatically limits consumer choice and undermines larger carbon emission reduction goals,”

Addiction is a bear of a problem for some people, and recovery sometimes involves backsliding.

Typically it signals at random times so you can’t have someone else blow for you and know that you’ll have 20 minutes to get somewhere, so it could be 45 minutes and it could be 1. Once the system calls you have 5 minutes to blow or a VERY loud siren goes off (I wish the retest signal had been that loud). Once that…

Judgemental jackasses like you are a scourge on the world.

Every surface level road is a legal road for cyclists unless it’s specifically marked otherwise and you, as a driver, are the responsible party to avoid hitting them.

Haha.This is Texas: cyclists are always presumed to be in the wrong because they should have been in a truck with firearms, like all normal people.

I can almost guarantee this dude knows someone which helped him get out of this, just like that kid. Fuck texas tbh
