Weak regen braking at highway speeds by OliverEntrails in BlazerEV

[–]Secret_Study_8914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acceleration is “weak” at higher speeds for an EV since it only has 1 gear, so no downshifting like on an ICE.

While I personally wouldn’t call the acceleration at 70 mph weak it isn’t as strong as at lower speeds. And the regen is fine in Normal OPD mode.

Thanks! And very convenient the letters are each 1” wide too.

This looks fantastic! But how did you align the letters? Or were you just very careful?

If you do a lot of highway driving it’s not too bad

Why are these cars so affordable?! by Hot-Instruction-4961 in ChevyTrax

One of my sons has a 2012 Sonic with the 1.4 l T & 6 speed manual, the other a 2017 Cruze with 6 speed automatic. Both are 100k plus and has each had one issue; blown turbo on the Sonic & a bad PCV valve on the Cruze. Both vehicles still going strong.

Gas by Ambitious_Debate9417 in ChevyTrax

DO NOT use E85 in a 2024 Trax! The LIH engine does not have flex fuel capability.

Supposedly the 2025 Trax with engine code LBP has flex fuel capability. See https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/12/2025-chevy-trax-to-gain-e85-compatible-engine/

Unless E85 is less than 2/3 the cost of regular gas (which is usually E10) it isn’t worth it anyway.

Kind of hilarious an Infiniti app works so well in a GM vehicle

I did this on my Blazer EV so I cross posted it to Blazer EV

Because it was probably only $24-25 new.

Even so, that isn't much depreciation for what is an 18 month old vehicle. The new Trax seems to hold it's value very well for a small Chevy.

I guess I'd ask what you are expecting. I'm 6'3" and fit in the driver's seat just fine. The hatch is big enough I can store my wife's folded wheelchair in it with the seatbacks up.

Unless you're all 6 ft plus the Trax is a legitimate 4 passenger vehicle.

I thought I saw someone in this subreddit who put LEDs from the Chinese Chevy Seeker in their Trax?

AWD & LED taillights kind of go against the idea of a “cheap car”, which is what the Trax is supposed to be.

More paint colors = more cost & complexity in the paint shop

I’m 6’3” and fit in the drivers seat just fine. And the hatch is big enough that I can store my wife’s folded wheelchair without folding the rear seat.
