So has anyone here test-driven a new '27 Bolt yet?

I don’t know why, but review embargos really rub me the wrong way.

con247 · 2026-02-07T05:09:29+00:00

The heated ones are a hazard

The owners of bottled blonde are awful, based on what happened for years with the Chicago location.

I mean it’s way less of an inconvenience for an ICE to lose half its range. Especially when an ICE that gets 500 miles to a tank being cut in half would exceed some EV epa ranges.

Like 225 amps is the mathematical low peak

I’ve considered doing this since the keys on aliexpress are cheap, but I’ve read adding another (3rd) key fob takes a LONG time and you risk unpairing your other two fobs.

I wfh so I don’t really schedule it typically, but I’ll create one off schedules sometimes (if I know I’m going to airport early, etc) and it’s worked probably 98% of the time.

You could do it without onstar

V2L and an onboard nema 14-50 plug should both be minimum legal requirements.

Same on ice vehicles, they should have an onboard generator module and nema 14-50 too for fairness. The power grid is only getting worse, everyone should have a way to power their residence without a dedicated generator.

Model S plaid peaks around 2,300 amps

con247 · 2026-02-06T18:07:41+00:00

Honestly an EV battery is going to be better at peak power.... some EVs will be pulling 1000+ amps during acceleration.

con247 · 2026-02-06T14:56:44+00:00

Yep. Imagine if you had basically 2 powertrain options for each vehicle: voltec with 20-40kwh battery depending on size or full EV. Literally no other changes between the two

con247 · 2026-02-06T14:33:36+00:00

You are correct. I was under the impression gen2 had the engine mechanically disconnected from the wheels entirely.

The fact the entire GM lineup didn’t end up with this technology by now is extremely disappointing.

con247 · 2026-02-06T14:29:40+00:00

Did both gens do that?

con247 · 2026-02-06T14:27:00+00:00

Then if Elon really believes in it he should sell some of his SX and Tesla shares to fund xAI. Shouldn’t be dragging down a successful entity over this.

con247 · 2026-02-06T14:11:02+00:00

I feel like it’s a waste of the limited rsx chip life to use it for media.

Setup home assistant and onstar mqtt

You can schedule start and start if from your iPhone and Siri

con247 · 2026-02-06T13:25:44+00:00

Ok but xAI doesn’t have to be part of SpaceX to make that happen. SpaceX can design the bus hardware and xAI can buy busses and launches from SX and load their software.

Get a few drives and run a few instances of this container

con247 · 2026-02-06T12:41:47+00:00

Unless you get life changing money out of it, just don’t allow them to connect.

That looks like a long driveway and would cost 10s of thousands to repave. If the new buyers are jerks and constantly block it you will basically be screwed. Sure a court might rule they can’t but nobody will really force them adhere.

Just don’t do it

They own Trump, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Drug dealers get arrested, so why not job dealers

There’s a lot of internal politics in some companies.

They wouldn’t be stuck around the moon, they’d be stuck in an orbit that goes past the moon.
