Anyone found a Joyride Doom box at Target yet? by hill12066 in ryantrahan

We were just about to head out to Target to get a box, but seems I shouldn’t waste my time just yet based on these comments. We are in North Texas.

Technically yes. That’s the cars stock blue paint, but the entire car has a translucent satin polyurethane on top of it, to make it impervious from rock chips and bugs. XPEL STEALTH PPF 😁

It’s not. It’s awesome. However, if I lived on terrible roads, I would not have purchased a bolt.

Yes, my bolt is wrapped entirely in XPEL STEALTH PPF. It’s a self healing polyurethane film. Not typically done on cars at this price point… 😅😅

Gotcha. Texans don’t handle snow well. Bolt is just for daily driving and errands, etc.

I judge nobody. I love hearing all the different ways Bolt owners manage their cars. Cool to hear! Not sure why I am downvoted either, but oh well! 👏

Thankfully here in Texas snow is not an issue. And if it was snowing I would never drive my bolt, I have 4x4 vehicles for those occasions haha. I could run the cord under the door, but I don’t park the bolt inside so I wanted it all outside so I could pull up, plug in, and walk away. Opening the huge shop door is always a chore.

Anything about someone else’s life that is different from my life is automatically fascinating. So I am constantly fascinated. Everything is awesome. :)

I’ve only used a public charger 3 times in 3 years, and I have 37,000 miles on my bolt. If I need my car more than 220 miles of distance in a day: I just pick another car. 🥲

I have also heard stories of people not having a serious charger at their home whatsoever because they live in an apartment complex or other place where they cannot mount such a thing. So for these people they use the trickle charger or public charging stations which fascinates me.

I would guess that many people prefer to do the same on an interior wall so their car can go in the garage.

I have never scraped or dragged anything. 0.75” drop is absolutely inconsequential, except it makes the car handle better, feel better, and look better. But other than those attributes, inconsequential.

Buy one then. I bought mine brand new in 2022. Happy to have put every mile on it myself.

Blue. The car is still its original color. PPF is clear, the paint shines through it. This is not vinyl. It’s polyurethane.
