    Great review guys! I traded my 2023 Model Y for a 2024 Blazer EV RS AWD and couldn't be happier. This car is built so much better and the ride quality is better, in my opinion. Sure, the Model Y has a faster 0-60 time, but who races at every light? 60 mph is the same no matter what car you are in and a few seconds longer to get there isn't such a big deal. I didn't even consider the resale value, but I'm sure the Tesla will keep having issues since there are so many of them just sitting around and the fact that Elon Musk changes the price of the vehicle on a whim.

      I hope you are ready to give GM all your personal data! Without CarPlay anything you input (contacts, destinations, driving habits) they will now have! There are several lawsuits going on over this with GM and how much data they collected and sold for like 10 years!

The other part is in-car systems by GM, Ford, Honda…all of them are horrible at updating the systems and security, whereas Apple is the best at doing this (especially security updates). Finally all I do is plug in my phone and everything is there - even setting up a driving destination (I use Apple maps - superior to any car nav) - No messing with the in-car system!

We have level 2 charger at home and she never has to step foot in a gas station again. A peace of mind for me too. So far things are going well. If we like it a lot and treats us well in two years I'll by a new one for her.

      Depending on a person's needed mileage, leasing doesn't always equate as a better transaction. Most EV's right now, especially here in SoCal, have insane lease deals but only with 6k-7.5k Mileage Limit per year. Some don't even offer those discounts as you go higher and others that do ends up pricing the same as if you'd buy.

      @@Cee-i4p that’s a very subjective point of view. Every person is going to have a different reasoning for lease over buy and vice versa. The same reasoning goes for EV’s and ICE vehicles. I personally would never lease and never have on any of the cars I’ve had in my 20 years of driving. Maybe if I needed a new car every 3 years like Apple bros need new iPhones every release cycle, it’d make sense for me. I just bought my first EV and plan on keeping it for way longer than a lease, and in my particular case the incentives I got and the price I got it for greatly outweighs the inflated cost of the lease with capped mileage.

    Be sure not to park it in a garage, near other vehicles, or near your home! Make sure you have a good tow truck service on speed dial!! It may take months to obtain repair parts, so always have a second backup vehicle as well! Since they use up tires quickly, shop for them ahead of time!

      My insurance was similar for my Blazer, Ya a little more than a Silverado 1500 I had but it's value is more. I already shopped tires and they are available and there are choices of tires. My dad had a Cadillac burn in his driveway so I guess it's not only EV's that can burn. Just because it's different isn't a reason to hate on it. Mine drives and rides great. Quieter and smoother than my truck or my wifes Pathfinder. My commute went from $25 day to $4.50 a day.

    No Apple CarPlay - A BIG NO from me! GM wants to collect as much data as it can from their customers and without CarPlay they will know all your music, your personal contacts, where you drive, and everything else! That is why GM is phasing using CarPlay and Android Auto. No other reason!
    Using CarPlay is a “pass through”, and if you use Apple Maps your information stays with you. Same for everything else. Apple is not perfect but I trust them far more than GM! GM has recently even slammed for collecting and selling personal data on your driving, etc. since 2015. They have sold that information to brokers and insurance companies so they can keep track of YOUR driving habits. Don’t believe me? Look it up -this all came down just a couple of weeks go (Aug 2024).
    Tesla doesn’t have it either, but that Elon Musk. I am not sure why Rivian doesn’t, but that would be a NO for me as well.

If you are using CarPlay and Apple Maps as an example all that information is staying on your iPhone - You are just using the car’s screen, etc. to access it. All your contacts, podcast and music you listen to, etc. stays with YOU - Not GM (or Tesla, etc.). Also you do not have to go through the hassle of inputting all that information into the car’s system - it is already there on your phone! And car manufacturers are notorious at creating much more complicated systems and then hardly ever updating them.

    Wow, only 33" cargo depth with the seats up? That's compact Mazda 3 hatchback territory. I would value floor space more than volume for something in this class. Who would want to stack groceries and squish the bottom layer stacking bags to fit? Other than that, I don't get the need to lose the start/off button? I get GM's reasoning why but people would like to ensure that it's truly off rather than just walking away. I do like it however it's still too pricey for what I'd be willing to spend on something like this.
