To be clear, the car has been overall excellent so far. I'm not a car reviewer. I just like complaining. Support me by shopping at my disc golf store: rarediscgolf.com
So I bought a Chevy Bolt EV. Brand New. It goes zoom! It's way better than my Leaf was in almost every way. I've never spent this much money on anything before and so I feel a bit validated by talking about all the little annoying things that pretty much every vehicle have. Now that I bought the car new I feel like I've got the right to complain a little, and it's been cathartic.
I've driven it for 5,000 KM ish now and aside from the little things it's been great. But I'm here to talk about those little things.
* This is the base model EV (although I think a lot of the minor complaints would also apply to the 2023 Bolt EUV)
Sorry about audio quality. I need to do something to improve the audio when I'm driving and outside and...well...
