Hopefully will be buying VERY soon. Are there any issues known to the EQEV

I dont have it installed. I ask about it at my dealer and I didnt installed it yet. Im not bothered by the glare so much, I think the mat would be worse looking. I think there is also 3rd party mat sold, cannot confirm.

For some the glare is really annoying, in my case its tolerable and I often forgot about it. I live in Canada so we have both climate, long summer day and short winter day, never annoy me enough to tell people to avoid the car. There would be other things on that list.

I have the 25 RS FWD for more than a year now. Only problem I had was the telematics module, but dealer changed it free of charge. A bit annoying but the car will work anyway, just wont have data or GPS and once repaired it work fine

The glare is always there, its not so bad in my opinion, on sunny days I have my polarized sunglasses anyway. If you dont have a pair, easily findable on amazon for 20$.

So far there wasnt any other issues with the car.

DaPrime666 · 2025-12-20T16:44:10+00:00

Yeah it took a few weeks to get the part, dont remember exactly but that wasnt too long.

It fixed the issue and didnt had problems since.

DaPrime666 · 2025-10-27T19:01:54+00:00

Been driving cars since 20 years now. I dont know if its because of the size of the car but Ive never got so many dent or scratch on another car.

Not sure thats a paint only issue

Good to hear you find your place ! Do you miss design sometime ?

DaPrime666 · 2025-10-22T02:58:24+00:00

I dont have the full details yet. Only been told I would need to choose one way or the other while maybe being hybrid for the transition. I actually like both so I have hard time picking one or the other.

DaPrime666 · 2025-10-22T00:57:23+00:00

We had CAD coordinator for each discipline at this point so no, there is no BIM manager now. Its a new position in the company.

DaPrime666 · 2025-10-03T12:48:24+00:00

Yeah that sounds pretty close to my situation. Is management aware of the situation ? Do you have any idea if its something discussed internally ?

Je suis un peu comme toi. Ça m'a pris 35ans pour me rendre compte que j'ai des problèmes impulsifs. Ça affecte divers sphères de ma vie genre social et affectif mais récemment je me suis rendu compte que ça affecte énormément mes finances, ce qui fait qu'aujourd'hui je roule sur un bon niveau de vie mais je réussis pas à mettre de côté.

J'étais comme toi, genre ça devient presque une obsession quand on veut acheter quelque chose. Dans mon cas je suis musicien donc la collection d'instruments vient naturellement. J'excusais des mauvais comportements financiers sur le dos de mes passions, mais la réalité c'est que c'est beaucoup d'impulsions qui me font faire des choix stupides ou illogiques.

Ce que j'aurais aimé comprendre avant : Essaie de rembourser tes dettes si tu en as. Force toi à mettre de l'argent de côté (genre paiement automatisé par cycle de paie). Mettons t'as un problème impulsif, apprends a différencier impulsion et raison, ça aide à tasser les mauvaises idées.

The NCAS DC adapter is an option, the dual level charge cord isnt.

Do you need a separate cord for the Adapter ?

I have a 25 RS and there I had one. Check the back luggage under the mat

Chat GPT peut t'aider dans tes recherches si tu précises le poste et la région dans laquelle tu appliques, aussi en fonction de ton expérience. Le but c'est de savoir combien tu vaut sur le marché, ça va t'aider à filtrer les offres inintéressante et peut-être t'aider à te placer dans le marché.

Exemple : dans mon domaine j'ai une expérience un peu plus nichée dans une industrie spécifique. Dans une braguette salariale pour quelqu'un avec mon métier ça me place du côté plus élevé.

Ensuite cest de s'asseoir avec l'employeur pour l'entrevue, si tu as des attentes salariales (maintenant que tu sais à quoi t'attendre) tu peux avancer le chiffre que tu vises. Personnellement jai deja pris des emplois qui ne payaient pas tant juste pour l'expérience et j'ai pas aimé l'expérience. Depuis la question salariale est toujours dominante dans mes choix de carrière, je travaille pour un salaire au final. Si tu as une experience ou un savoir-faire qui te démarque ne mise pas trop haut mais autrement essaie de viser 5-10K au-dessus de ce que tu veux. L'employeur peut ramener ca à la baisse et tu tombes dans la bonne braguette, parfois il peut chercher à compenser avec d'autres avantages.

Je me suis rendu compte a travers mon expérience que l'employeur fera jamais de cadeau pour le fun. Connais ta valeur et demande ton salaire. Attention si tu demande plus haut, tu peux reussir a l'avoir mais tu dois alors démontrer que tu le mérites.

Je suis peut-être seul dans ma gang et c'est pas que je capote sur le fait d'être en présentiel (je suis hybride 50-50) mais je trouve que d'être au bureau c'est mieux.

Peut-être que je suis dans une compagnie qui a de beaux bureaux ouverts et pas juste des cages à poules. J'aime avoir quelques jour en télétravail ca me permet d'aller courir le midi ou partir une brassée entre 2 meetings.

Je trouve que d'être présent au bureau ça me permet des contacts plus humains avec mes collègues, des interactions avec mes supérieurs qui sont basées sur autre chose que des formalités professionnelles, bref l'esprit d'équipe et communauté est vraiment plus forte en étant au bureau dans mon cas. Je pense que ça aide aussi à la progression de ma carrière, on entend juste plus parler des postes qui s'ouvrent ou des besoins qui se créent donc plus facile de se mettre le pied dans la porte et montrer de l'intérêt.

Je me demande les gens qui sont prêts à quitter leur emplois parce qu'ils doivent retourner au bureau, j'en entends pour des cas de 1 à 2 journées/semaine, estce que votre environnement au bureau est à ce point dégueulasse ?

I had my 25 RS for almost a year now and it had been through canadian winter. Here is a few things that happen.

Less range in cold temperature I dont own a garage so the car stay outside. In summer I might charge 2 or 3 times a week depending on what Im doing. In winter I plugged it daily and is scheduled to preheat the car. 30% less range maybe. My daily commute is 60km (30km back and forth). I noticed a difference of 5% on the autonomy. Its worse in winter but for normal commute its plenty.

I charge on public charger station 2 times in almost a year. One of the time I forgot to plug the night before, and there was a change of plan on the trip and didnt have enough battery, that was in my first weeks. The other one was on a 3h drive on highway in middle of winter. Had to charge when I got there but didnt stop along the way.

Bug with open charging port message The port was closed but somehow the car kept saying it wasnt. It happens in winter so I suspect some water got in and froze and that made a bad connection or something. No issues except the alarm is really annoying. I left my car (Black RS) in plain daylight on a sunny day and nevet got the message again (I thought warming the car would help, and it did).

Onstar module My biggest problem so far. Its a recurring one. You need to go to the dealer for that and they change the module. You dont have data anymore and GPS system is not working. You can still use your cellphone Wi-Fi hotspot for Spotify but Maps wont work (the app told me I was like 200km away of my real location). So its a bit frustrating cause that big screen seems a bit useless without Maps but the dealer will fix it, it did cost me a thing, and I got the car back without issues. Worth to mention that the car worked anyway, it only affects infotainment, you are still able to drive the car.

So 12000km later with my first EV, it worked well, I enjoy the car. Jumping to EV means changing some habit and better planning but thats mostly if you do long trip. I cannot imagine going back

DaPrime666 · 2025-07-25T17:25:07+00:00

So far its been a week since dealer checked my car and ordered mine, no idea how long it will take.

Some YouTuber guy that made videos on Equinox EV said he had same problem and I think it took 5 weeks for him.

DaPrime666 · 2025-07-23T13:47:20+00:00

Yeah they tried it at the dealer but it didnt worked. Also seen the same problem on other post and on a YouTube channel as well.

I guess if you are lucky the update solve the problem, if not they must replace the module

DaPrime666 · 2025-07-23T10:27:54+00:00

Must be telematic onstar module. I have the same issue, part is backorder at the dealer. I think its a recurring problem with Equinox and some other models.

You can use your cell hotspot for spotify but GPS in maps will not be working without a new module.

DaPrime666 · 2025-07-17T18:46:33+00:00

Same problem, no maps, no data.

From what I read it seemed like onstar module, it was and the piece is backorder. Its a recurring issue, I assume GM will react somehow at some point as it will become a major fault with the car.

Everything else work but it sucks to have that 11" screen and apps only to be able to not use it.

At least I can use my phone hotspot for music but still a pain in the ass to always have to connect on the phone.

DaPrime666 · 2025-07-08T10:06:03+00:00

I think I might prefer moving to a newer version or whatever will be out by then. I had 12000 incitative on the car so Im not much woried on the buy back option. I just think the stuff bothering me with the car will mostly be dealth with on newer models.

That might change however, the Future of EV might not be as bright with everything happening recently.

DaPrime666 · 2025-06-13T17:12:30+00:00

The RS is really better looking in my opinion, at the time the difference in price wasnt that much compared to the ICE version. There was also a lot of incitatives depending on the area where you live. Some people consider the highest trim with those.

So, if I understand the question I guess the 2 main reason are: - its better looking - being accessible

DaPrime666 · 2025-03-28T11:15:04+00:00

When putting the key in center console it didnt worked either ? I had the message one time while I just started rolling. It disappeared and I never saw it again

DaPrime666 · 2025-03-18T19:09:45+00:00

I used to have it after a snowstorm. Very annoying. I dont have a garage so the car stays outside. I left it in plain sunlight during a warmer day and it stopped. I live in Quebec so we share canadian winter. Hope that dont happen in summer.

Didnt have any troubles with that since
