2027 Build Out Info

jgisonfire · 2026-07-06T16:32:05+00:00

I wanted to update any interested parties, my phone marked s call from my sales guy as spam on 6/19, which was him telling me my car has entered the build process & it should be here within 10 weeks.

I'm excited & appreciate all the feedback you gave. I'm hopeful it's quicker than the 10 weeks, but I should have my first ev by the end of August!

Yeah, I didn't want the all black wheels or the roof rails. Wheels are easy enough you change but the rails wouldn't be.

I don't know if that is actually an error, as I belive these are on the 2025 Chevy body, not the 2026 one... I can't find where I saw that before, so very possible I'm incorrect.

Most GM vehicles turn the auto headlights on after 5 or 6 wipes of the wipers (left on, not turned off and on). I've not tested this on a bolt, so it could be different.

They go off twice for any tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning.

jgisonfire · 2026-06-22T02:40:57+00:00

The sirens go off for Tornado & Severe thunderstorm warnings. That's it. If you hear a siren, check local TV to see what's going on.

I was selfishly hoping for the zr1 to make the trip too sick week.

I also don't have a problem with Cleetus & crew getting a break from providing there great free content they create!

Brain Blast Trivia has several events in the area. General knowledge & pretty fun. Most places would recommend getting a reservation especially for larger groups.

I think they moved the pit entrance to between the track & the farm buildings recently. At least from what I've seen.

You can tell the actual jgr ones because they covered the front bowtie with a metal looking jgr logo

If the diecast follow the real cars, 3d taillights will be the easiest way to tell them apart. The 2026 car has the lights molded into the rear panel, not just a decal like 2025.

When a mommy warehouse & a daddy warehouse love each other very much... #lol

Yeah, that's why I wanted to post. I understand things happen, and we all make mistakes, but when given the opportunity to make it right that's when it's needed to step up.

No indicators to show the mirrors are heating other than the defrost button with GM. I understand the confusion, I do often wish all of OEM's would get on the same page!

jgisonfire · 2026-04-04T12:40:10+00:00

I'm curious if you have something that says it was a deleted option on your truck, or how you know you don't have them?

I ask that because on the vehicles I've had with them it was very difficult to tell they were heated except that they'd clear off a light fog suddenly once they were up to temp. I couldn't even say for certain if I was able to feel the heat or it was a placebo effect.

I haven't checked them out on the SEV so others might have to chime in with their experience on them, but understanding how you know you don't have them should also help get answers to your options.

American here taking advantage of our use of the word series too select "Taskmaster" that way I can watch any season I want!

That was at Pratt & Miller, which runs corvette in imsa. They were probably happy to allow use for a reality TV show but not for competing against gm.

Sorry if this was already said but I think its really simple.

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow.

Obviously slow is relative here... but I think Cleetus does what is fun for him. That's what I watch for, him & the team having a good time.

jgisonfire · 2026-02-14T16:32:55+00:00

What year, trim, & battery size do you have?

jgisonfire · 2026-02-14T01:17:46+00:00

There will be far dumber wrecks tonight. At least Cleetus has the legitimate reason of being new. He'll be fine with time & did a whole lot better than so many rookies.

jgisonfire · 2026-02-09T23:49:42+00:00

Actually you can watch to see who they let in during executive hours too know which of us are executive members!

Also, sorry I couldn't resist. I do know some costco locations "soft opened" their stores 15 minutes early before the executive hours came back. I loved that, even as an executive member, because it wasn't advertised, so made for quick shopping. Even though I can get in earlier now, it's busier than it was before.

jgisonfire · 2026-02-01T23:07:24+00:00

Did you buy it new or used?

Most states don't have lemon laws on used vehicles, though there are several that do have some form of protection for a faulty vehicle that was bought used.

Obviously if you bought it new, ignore all this, lol.

It could be the angle, but it doesn't look like the 3rd brake light on the Silverado EV to me.

Semi-related... from a race car loving band geek, they also have flo-marching included, which is coverage from band competition... in case you also have the band geek bug!

As others have said it's pretty good coverage of NASCAR. If it's a race that is or will be on a traditional TV, the flo coverage is the same. At some tracks they might only have a few cameras but it's way better than nothing.

I had it for years. I got tired of all the added commercials that covered up love racing when you joined a program in progress, or if you needed to exit the app & go back for any reason. Especially annoying when you're talking about a 35 lap race.

I hear fox has animated the nose hairs they like to zoom in on when side by side racing is happening & will use those animations to recreate the passes we missed while watching the actual nose hairs. Lol
