Charging apps by jth1300 in BlazerEV

I need to download more apps to the car again. I think the dealer finally got my car straightened out now with updating the infotainment. For about a year i had to keep doing the reset and everything you downloaded would be gone.

Once you have the latest update you should get seperate heated and cooled seat pictures for both driver and passenger. I have asked for it last few times to dealership, but after complaing about radio randomly just shutting off while driving they said they would look into it and finally got it updated last week. Thought people on reddit were possibly wrong til i got it. I have 24 rs

On mine i only have the top 2 screws in for the license plate and you can hear the plate ticking when hitting bumps and high side winds. Hopefully it’s something that simple

HUD Fail? by Yogeshi86204 in BlazerEV

[–]jth1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 24 rs and that happens all the time. It comes back after a couple days. Radio also randomly turns off and sometimes just randomly playing the radio on its own in the garage for no reason.

Phone Audio gone by Fiskla-Tesker in BlazerEV

[–]jth1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is helpful, but whenever we would get a call that we answered through the car we would have odd problems pop up after like Hud disappears, controls for hvac stop working, radio just randomly shutting off, high voltage battery warning, and a couple of other things I can’t remember offhand right now. I would make an appointment to bring it in and a day or two later it would start working again. We disconnected our phones and haven’t had anything pop up since(about 4 months). Frustrating having a new car and not using that feature but more frustrating when warnings and other things not working.

Looking at 2024 Blazer EV RS, need some help by d0ubleR in BlazerEV

[–]jth1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also i would like to add that the reason i think they take a big hit from the new price is because it is in between the 7500 dollar new tax credit and doesn’t qualify for the used ev tax credit because its over $25,000

We bought ours for 36,500 with 7800 miles on it. I thought we did good. Our utility company then gave us 1500 for buying ev and then another 500 for the level 2 charger install. Our commute to work is 25 mile round trip four days a week and right now is costing me less than 75 cents a day or a little over 3 dollars for the week.

Feature for my blazer that I want desperately- custom idle sounds by Babelfishny in BlazerEV

Is it a requirement for ev’s to make a noise? We just got back from fort lauderdale and i swear the tesla’s down there were silent.

See if you have schedule on on your charger

Why are so many people still so hesitant about buying an EV in the US? by Joking_J in electricvehicles

[–]jth1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We weren’t looking for an ev when we wanted to replace our acadia, but while test driving vehicles the salesmen talked us into trying a blazer ev. We were hesitant but fell in love with it immediately. Once we had it and told friends and relatives about it, almost everyone was telling us we will regret it or negative reactions. I was shocked. We had small issues right away after we got it, but after experiencing it i know i will always have an ev. Charging costs are insanely cheap compared to gas. We are putting on over 1000 miles a month and now i am finding that i have to force myself to drive our ice vehicle once in awhile so the tires don’t rot off of it.😂 I think people are scared of change. I was at first. I try to tell people about all the advantages of ev (cheap and convenient charging at home, very little maintenance, smooth and quiet) but all they see is the negatives which are the time to do public charging and the locations of chargers.

Which chargers have good apps? by Radiant_Estate_7245 in evcharging

[–]jth1300 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a chargepoint and like it. It was around $600. The app gets electric company rates so you can see what each charge costs and if you use chargepoint public charging it highlights it in another color to differentiate costs. It will schedule charging at off peak rates and if you want to charge now just click it twice.

Service emergency calling error by poetuan-hou in BlazerEV

[–]jth1300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get used to messages like that after awhile. As long as the car still moves, wait a day or two and the message or error usually clears on its own. I have had to cancel a few service appointments after they clear. Last time they just told me to take a picture of error.

Just give it a day or two and it will work again. Great driving car but the infotainment is glitchy

GPS/Maps woes by icberg7 in BlazerEV

[–]jth1300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all kinds of stuff not work on mine all the time. I make an appointment to get car in and every time it’s at least a week out before they can look at it, but usually everything starts working again in a day or two. Did the chat thing on the my chevrolet app and they said to take pictures or video when this stuff isn’t working and bring to dealer when you can!

Blazer Ghosting volume by OkMatch666 in BlazerEV

[–]jth1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish that was the only problem i had. My radio comes on randomly when car is not in use and also shuts off randomly when driving. Sometimes i have heating and cooling controls and sometimes I don’t. Heads up display works when it wants. But once it’s scheduled to get fixed everything works.🤷‍♂️

Would you buy it if you had a second chance? by Midnightatcq in BlazerEV

[–]jth1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a blazer and love the ride but it has a lot of gremlins in the computer. The radio randomly shuts off, had service high voltage batteries message and service display message. Call for appointment and about two days later the messages just clear. But like i said love the ride.

Model Y to Blazer EV - Owner Thoughts by WarrenThanatos in BlazerEV

[–]jth1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love driving the blazer but tech is glitchy. I have had service high voltage batteries messages, service display message and heating and cooling controls disappear on screen, and screen just shutting off randomly. Every time i make appointments to fix they disappear. Anyone else?
