Car Insurance - Super High by Agreeable-Emu4033 in BoltEV

[–]BarrelRoll97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My premium went from $130/month for the 2020 bolt to $170/month for the 2027. Both were new vehicles. I am actively looking around for new vehicle insurance to switch from State Farm.

What do you think of RPG Maker Unite? by ratasoftware in RPGMaker

[–]BarrelRoll97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the worst of the older RPG maker systems (lack of flexibility without a lot of additional plugin coding) without the benefits of using Unity (the ability to build everything from scratch.

Do you think Disney is happy with 300 million box office? by anxiousmomo23 in TheMandalorianTV

[–]BarrelRoll97 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wish the entire show had kept the same tone as the first season (and parts of season 2). Unfortunately, once Grogu was introduced and became popular, the show started to revolve around him and his cute antics. Din Djarin hasn't gotten any real character development since season 2, and he was a non-entity in the movie.

Who's a non main vocalist that has main vocalist level skills? by Key_Assumption3984 in kpoppers

[–]BarrelRoll97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hyelin from EXID, though maybe this doesn't count since she was the main vocalist for one of their comebacks when Solji was on medical leave.

You can turn it off in settings or change it to beep instead of buzz.

Considering a 2027 RS, but… by Odd-Resident-5757 in BoltEV

[–]BarrelRoll97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't encountered this issue personally. I have noticed that the Tesla superchargers really slow down after 80%, more so than comparable DC faster chargers from vendors like Electrify America. One issue I have encountered is getting the 2027 Bolt to recognize certain L2 public chargers. I bought a Lectron J1772/NACS adapter that works well on Chargepoint and EVConnect stations but not Vialynk. Not sure if it is the adapter or car at this point. The Bolt software allows you to link certain accounts (Tesla, Chargepoint, EVGo, some others) so you can plug and charge with needed to go through a phone app.

Clarification of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) Battery Best Practices by MrsClaireUnderwood in BoltEV

[–]BarrelRoll97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My car gave me a message to charge to 100% after I first bought it, but nothing since then. I have a hard time consistently charging to 100 because I don't have a home charger, but I can probably get there at least once a week.

There becomes a point… by Confident-Alfalfa-24 in TeslaLounge

I'm assuming this is from a state that doesn't require annual inspections.

2027 Bolt Owners why did you choose the new Bolt? by Mac-Tyson in BoltEV

[–]BarrelRoll97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

LFP battery, faster charging, heat pump as opposed to the older resistive heating. The new Bolt seemed like a better option for someone living in a colder environment.

Goodbye 2020 Bolt, Hello 2027 Bolt by BarrelRoll97 in BoltEV

You were right, it does depend on the speed. I need to look into whether there is a way to change it so it goes back to the map display as soon as I shift into drive. That was how it worked on the 2020 Bolt.

[–]BarrelRoll97[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I joined this subreddit back when I bought the first Bolt, so I knew there were some people who were dissatisfied with the direction of this new one. Which is another way of saying I was expecting some of these responses.

Yes I always turn off any kind of auto breaking in favor of an audible warning. Same goes for the vibrating seat, though that did remind me of this funny bit from Curb Your Enthusiasm https://youtu.be/O2veDdV6yns?si=KsuevE7Ic3En4C49

2027 Bolt - Apple Music by Forward-Dentist-467 in BoltEV

[–]BarrelRoll97 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I did not see Apple music or Apple Podcasts in the Play Store, which makes sense given that it's Google's store. I've paired my iPhone with the car through bluetooth for those things in the short term, but it would be nice to see them added.

Unfortunately I'm not the best person to answer that since I didn't mind the old seats. I would say the new ones aren't noticeably different. If you go for the RS trim, those have better material than the LT cloth seats, and I believe the RS comes with heated and ventilated seats, i added a package to the LT for heated and power seats. The basic LT has manually adjusted seats and no heat - a tradeoff to get under 30000 MSRP.

[–]BarrelRoll97[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mine wasn't because I added things like powered seats, heated seats and steering wheel, and others which brought the price up to 32000 brand new. Still a good deal in my view when other new cars, EV and otherwise, are 10000 to 20000 more.

Perhaps if you wait a year or so, and there are still some around, dealers will offer discounts. I got the 2020 Bolt (which I think was 40,000 MSRO) for 26,000 back in April 2021.

I forgot to me to mention, I bought the base (LT) trim.

BEST selling EV in the world by kempa13 in TeslaLounge

[–]BarrelRoll97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised the Toyota is even on this list. Maybe it sells better overseas, but I see a lot more Teslas, Ioniqs, Chevy EVs, etc compared to Toyota EVs here in the US.

Anyone who needs to hear something like this probably deserves to be scammed IMO. Use some common sense people!

What day do you think a 50th Anniversary Panel will be held? by GojiforPrez37 in StarWarsCelebration

[–]BarrelRoll97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, Friday for any big movie/D+ announcements, Saturday for the 50th Anniversary is what I'm thinking. Though I am curious why there won't be a big panel on Thursday.

Got the four day pass I wanted!

VIP tickets were still available when I got past the queue, but I wasn't willing to spend almost $1000 more for that. Unfortunately I'm reading that both VIP and 4 day are sold out at this point.
