    Some trolls claim dealers can only do 2 a month, so nice to see videos showing how quick it is.

      Sure, some dealers only get two batteries a month. My big city dealer got stacks of them. Had my 2017 done months ago and the range increase is nice!

    Great idea to tie down the vehicle to the lift arms to compensate for the “weight loss” during the swap 👍🏻

    the chevy dealer in Columbus Kansas did mine. Overnight job. Got me a loaner. I live 82 miles from them but they are doing several and if you live somewhat close by, call them. Jim Hatfield Chevy. Dealership looks like it was built in 1960 but hey, they like doing this job. Obviously they are making money!

      BTW, the dealer service adviser did not give me any oral instructions or hand out any paper explaining how to "condition the battery. I guess I am supposed to drain it down and charge full a couple times soon rather than keep topping it off at the beginning. Does anyone know if Chevy has any such instructions?

      way easier (and less costly) to drop the entire battery and replace it than it is to open up the battery and replace an individual module...

      @@tichuang On UA-cam, there is a professor in a wheel chair that shows every component disassembled of a Chevy Bolt. On that particular battery, it looks like modules would be fairly easy to replace. On a Tesla, it looks like a nightmare. Obviously, since the recall on the Chevy Bolt involves 143,000 vehicles, time would be a definite factor. Many years from now, on an individual basis, it might be much cheaper to replace only what's needed.

      @@coniacman I have watched that video. He makes it look easy, sure, but he's a professor, not a regular mechanic. He knows every part, its design, its function, etc., not only of the battery but the entire car. As you've already mentioned, yes, there is the sheer volume of batteries that would make such surgical operations highly inefficient.

    • @jrharbortproductions
      @jrharbortproductions 2 роки тому +1

      The diagnostics software they're using when Bolt owners bring their car in for service is supposed to detect faults in individual modules. If a fault is found at the module level, they bump you to the front of the queue for an entire pack replacement like all Bolts will eventually get. Also a 2020 Bolt owner here btw.
