#2This so reminds me of Barry Seals asking people to stand back everytime he started his car.

#3Is there a lawsuit to make GM take back the cars? This is ridiculous.

#4> The automaker told Bolt owners to limit the charge to 90 percent, plug in more frequently and avoid depleting the battery to below about 70 miles of remaining range.
Tesla's approach here would be to issue an OTA update that told your car to treat 90% as 100% and 25% as 0. I can't decide if I like that better or worse.

They've already done a recall. This is a temporary measure until the batteries can be replaced, however this article does mention they are buying some back apparently.

As long as it included messaging and an admission of fault, that seems significantly safer for the general populace.

I think there's the 5 second cool factor but after that novelty you're probably just as disgruntled as the fact that you lost 35% of the range for your car.
I hope the Chevy bolt is a rare case and stories like this don't pop up with the other upcoming electric vehicles. The new lightning F150 looks very attractive.

GM issued a recall for all bolts a month ago.

#10And do not taunt your cars, or they may blow up.
Tesla has had a very number of problems but imagine if this is where we got with them after a few years out in the market. There might not even be an EV industry right now.
