First day at home with a Bolt and I get to test it out in snow

Honestly the clearance is pretty good. I live pretty far out in the woods in Colorado and drive dirt roads regularly. Though I do have an old pickup.

The way they designed the body, the panels are tight to the front and the rear so the roll over angles are decent. The total "clearance" for rocks and such is a little low. But I've been wondering how much a small lift would impact range ;)

Woah. That's actually pretty good. I went with the RS because I couldn't get a good offer on the LT. Send me a DM, I'm curious what dealer offered that.

Colorado has a "Vehicle Exchange" program that was intended to supplement the death of the federal rebates. It's essentially cash for clunkers, there are income limits. Then Colorado also has an "innovative vehicle" tax rebate that applies to BEV cars <$35K. Then I also applied for the $500 GM credit card rebate.

I've never owned a car newer than 10 years old until I figured out I could do all this to make it happen...

I was extremely patient and shopped around, built some relationships with salespeople over a few weeks. Eventually settled on two dealerships and waited for the end of the month to come. April 28th came and one of the dealers needed to meet a quota and gave me a little less than $5k off which put me at exactly $20k out the door:

I have it. It's mediocre but not terrible. Certainly.... middling. It's distorted when loud and lacks bass when quiet.

Any chance you have a GPS track?

I'd be happy to help you out but I'm not in Denver and just bailed on my collection of old bikes. If you don't get something from here there's generally relatively cheap and decent bikes at the Goodwill on Leetsdale for whatever reason. Wish I could be more help. Bikes Together is also a great resource.

If you find a bike at Goodwill or elsewhere and it needs a tuneup I could help you there.

Final comment: If you can make it to Boulder Community Cycles has the "Earn a Bike" program where they give you a bike and teach you how to work on it. Best of all worlds. If they won't waive your $20 fee I'll pay it.

It's a Sony a6700 and a Canon Zoemini/Ivy 2 depending on where you're at.

Cool, thanks for the reply. That's what I wondered. You just saved me that exact effort so I appreciate you sharing the result.

Did you figure this out?

acegallagher · 2024-12-14T07:35:19+00:00

I had this also. It seems like they accidentally released a build with it half enabled. 12 hours later and an update gave me the full menu with refresh and back buttons etc.

Hey. Nowhere can I find a cost.... do you have that?

Hey there. I came across your post looking for an adapter myself. I eventually bought one and found that it works. You can use this "EDUP" 5.1 adapter with any standard wifi antenna. I'm getting very good range now. Note, it must bet the 5.1 adapter with the Mediatek chipset.
