Thanks for the update! I've watched all of your Bolt EUV videos as research. I just picked up a 2023 Bolt EUV last week and it's been a great experience so far. I'd love a Redline badge for my EUV!
Got my 2022 Bolt EUV a few months after you did and its been so nice following your journey from the start! Been loving the car and recently added a 2023 Bolt EV to our household fleet! :) I have to look into getting a redline badge myself
I got my Bolt EUV in January 2023 so now it’s been over a year and over 6000 miles. All of my driving is within 100 miles and most within 30. I charge up every few days for a few hours and I often charge to 100%. I have leased Hondas; Accords, Civics, CRV’s and even a Prelude and an Odyssey over the past 45 years. They are great cars. This was my First Chevy and it is the best car I’ve ever had. Quick, quiet and comfortable. It’s been completely reliable and with no maintenance. We still have our 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid which again, is a great car But I never drive it. I mean, we still do drive it to Charlotte, about 100 miles away, in part because we can pack more, it rides higher and of course no range anxiety. We’re at the end of that lease which has always been a welcomed cycle and time to go get a new Honda but this time is much different…. So like you, I am debating what car to get next. Test driving is the most fun part of getting a new car so I’m test driving everything… everything electric. I’m completely sold on EV’s I never had a nicer, more fun car to drive. My best friends had Chevy classics growing up but I never did. To get a Chevy EV was a huge leap but turned out to be a good one. I like the OnStar feeling. I haven’t needed to use them at all but I called just to see what they do. They were able to ‘see’ my car and would provide roadside assistance if ever needed. It was a pleasant experience. So I’ve test driven the Blazer, the Lyric, I would like to try the Equinox and or the new caddy EV when it comes out. I’ve also tried the Volvo, the Mercedes, the Nissan Ariya and the Kia EV6. They were all nice. Size and style wise we might consider the Volvo. Two features I’m looking for are extended range of 300 plus and vehicle to home charging ability. We want to get down to one car so I’m strongly considering just selling the CRV but I also want to try the Prologue which should be out in a couple months. They would probably offer a better trade in than a sell price so I just extended my lease which gives me some options. Like leasing the Prologue and selling the Bolt at the end of its lease. These are all first world problems as you pointed out. We have reached an age where hey, this could be our last car so get the one you really really want. So we’ll see. In the meantime I really appreciate your real world experience videos. You do a great job and best of luck to you!
I had a BOLT for a 3 year lease. The best feature was factory heat-blocking glass. The car stayed cool on 100F+ days with little effort by the AC. I now have a BOLT EUV. No special glass! I've had to add ceramic tint to achieve a cool interior.
I’ve driven a bolt EUV premier for 13 months now, I’ve put 28,000 miles on it, and one month ago I got the model y as a second car. The model y has so much more space than the bolt, but it’s also a bigger car, it feels more stable on the road and the seats feel more comfortable and charges faster on superchargers. But I miss the bolt’s 360 parking assist, ventilated seats and digital view mirror, even though those features on the bolt are not perfect, they’re soo much better than the Tesla. I’d still take the Tesla due to its vast amounts of space and fast charging.
It’s so strange that Tesla doesn’t do a 360° view. The cameras are all already there, it would just be a software thing. The pro there is that they could always add that later while legacy manufacturers just can’t do that.
@@MetzTech I think the issue is they don’t have a front bumper camera so they can’t see towards the front accurately, at least in the non highland refresh models, but maybe they can improve their software for 3D reconstruction parking assist enough to become something we can rely on
The power door locks have been a major issue for me on all of my previous GM vehicles over the last 20 years now. Multiple doors failed on each by 50,000 miles. Our 19 Volt has had 3 of the 4 doors fail by 50,000 miles. I'm annoyed the Bolt has this issue too. Wish GM would get this right. Love the Bolt EUV otherwise, it's been a fantastic vehicle. I have 23K miles on mine and just past 2 years exactly as of today actually.
I've had my 2019 Premier since brand new (i.e. I'm into the 6th year of ownership) and it is THE best car in my life. The only hiccup during those years was the failed 12-volt battery - all it took was a call to OnStar, they sent a tow truck and had the battery replaced. Other than that, zero defects. Joy to ride.
I love my trunk liner for my Equinox. It is the one that also attaches to and goes up the seat backs. I was sceptical of the material when I picked it up from my dealer but it has made loading and cleaning the rear area so easy. Also is protecting the carpet. GM loves the LRR tires for EVs for better range. But I replaced my Volt tires with standard tires for Chicago winters and never really noticed too much of a range decrease. I’m in Orlando now and we just got the Equinox EV in the Epcot GM showroom. It looks so much better in person. As for Tesla, I will never own another. I waited a few years to buy my Model 3. loved my stereo, autopilot, and the seats were the best seats I’ve ever had in a car. But I spent so much time at the Service Center that they made a joke one day that my car spent more time with them than with me. And that’s not a joke you should be making when your car was the premier mass market EV. I know they were trying to lighten the mood but that never sat well with me.
I’ve got a 2022 Bolt EUV that was built after the battery fix, so I never had limited charging. I can get close to 300 miles on a full charge in the summer, down to the 180 range when it’s really cold. Anytime the temps get into the 40s or below, you see the range dip. I’ve got 52,000 miles on mine and just replaced the original tires. The OEM tires have limited traction when new, and it just gets worse over time. Other than a loose occupant sensor connector in the drivers seat I haven’t had any warranty repairs. So far the Bolt EUV has been a tough little car. Mine definitely gets used hard for full time Uber. It’s also done Home Depot runs, carried furniture, etc. my biggest gripe is the suspension. Somehow it is both harsh and soft. Potholes crash through the whole car, and it is easy to bottom out over speed bumps. Also, the factory wiper blades barely lasted a year before they started stuttering across the windshield (I had the same set of wiper blades on my 2017 Chevy Cruze for 5 YEARS). Overall I love the Bolt EUV. It’s a way better vehicle than my old Cruze. I’ll be keeping it until the battery dies
Congrats on 3 years! I'm cheap so I would buyout the Bolt's lease and wait a couple years for the Equinox or Blazer to get sorted. As far as channel content, the Model Y seems like a no-brainer.
When the bolt came out I went to the dealer 100% intending to trade my car in and come home with a Bolt. Then I drove it, and the folding lawn chair seats changed my mind. And yes, it was a premier with the ‘upgraded’ seats.
Trust me I know. It’s tough to drive nice cars for a living and then go back to the Bolt seats. Especially the cloth ones. Luckily I don’t have a ton of body pain yet… but 🤷🏻♂️
So, my Subaru Forester finally kicked the can after 200k. After watching your content and some others, I went with a 2023 EUV. I wanted to wait for the Equinox EV, but I’m not convinced it will be $35k since dealers will probably mark it up, and I need a car now. (My Subaru was hemorrhaging oil and it needed about $3k of work). I’m digging my EUV. Base model with a few added features, was only like $22k after the $7500 tax credit taken off at the dealership. The interior is a little smaller in terms of width compared to my Subaru, but WAY more leg room. So far I’m pretty happy with it.
A lot of the complaints you're saying seem to be addressed in the new Bolt EUV coming out next year. It will be on the Ultium platform I plan to wait and check that one out before I switch to an electric. The price is just too hard to ignore
Just picked up a 23 Bolt EV, seats are definitely a little stiff, even the leather ones, but putting a folded blanket down mostly solves the issue for me thankfully. Thanks for your videos. Will be looking out for these issues (also going to go easy on the hatchback handle hehe)
Ioniq 5 is the move. I had a Bolt and went into the Ioniq 5, and most of the issues with the Bolt are solved with the Ioniq 5. Especially the tires/ride. I feel like the current deals on 23 Ioniq 5s plus dealer discounts will give you a very affordable payment.
I would look at the battery issues a few Canadians are having before touching a Hyundai EV. If you get a scratch on the battery protector, it voids the warranty apparently and they make you buy a whole new battery which costs more than the vehicle.
@@halifaxstar this is why the news isn’t the end-all, be-all. If you watch these stories very carefully, the instances of this were when the car ran over something substantial and bent the casing of the battery cover, damaging other components in the process. Yes, the warranty is voided because running over something does not constitute a defect in workmanship as prescribed in a warranty. You have heard of this happen what, twice altogether? Same thing for many other EVs. It is fair that they should work on a stronger casing… but if you don’t run over something quite large in the road, this is never going to be an issue.
@@MetzTech also keep in mind: - Build quality in the Ioniq 5 is far superb. - Ride quality is far better - if you choose AWD, power between that and long range AWD is very similar. - personally, the Model 3 is boring and kinda meh in design and the Ioniq 5 is one of the best-looking cars on the road. - Way better warranty for Hyundai - Vast dealer network (esp being around Louisville.. I live near there as well and know going through Tesla for things isn’t nearly as convenient).
I got my 22 EUV two years ago and it's been great for me. I'd love one of those red line badges for mine :) As for what I would upgrade to, probably an ID4, with the battery made in the US and qualify for the tax incentive.
Dang, I just picked up an EUV Premier the other week, in particular after watching a bunch of your videos covering the car. Already got 1700mi on it after 2 weeks of road tripping and driving all over. Absolutely love the thing, despite getting unlucky with the transmission pump failure showing up in newer models, and fully intend to drive it until it will no longer drive. Especially enjoying the premier features tbh. I was originally going to go redline, but the dealerships with them didn't implement the new tax credit systems so I ended up going for a normal one, which actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise! I got a decent deal, and it turns out I love the silver flare I got. All the redlines nearby were flat white(wasn't a fan in person) or black(california sun would kill me). The black/blue interior has also grown on me a lot, and I think I like it more than the flat black I would've had in a redline. Although the red/black badges would be a very nice fit on the silver if you have spares or know where to get em 👀 Thanks for all the info you've put up about the EUV! Hope you enjoy whatever you end up in next.
Not a fanboy of Tesla, don’t like the speedo in the center of the car, and not a fan of comrade Elon. I have a 2023 Nissan Ariya Venture +. 304 epa miles, I get about ~340. I preorder my for $46.9K plus the $7.5K tax credit. I think they have good lease deals now, but I would get the Venture + fwd with the extra range. I am interested in the Equinox EV in the 1LT or 2LT models in about 18 months. 319 epa miles sound really sweet and can’t wait to test drive one!
I would love the badging, although I would probably customize it. I have a 2021 Bolt EV, and I'd love this. Been thinking about doing some red accents, making it look nice. This would be a great way to kick things off
Bought my 2023 EUV LT almost exactly a year ago. Was able to pick it up for $19k after tax credit/discounts. Still love it. I have almost 20k miles with no issues on mine. It's my first EV, i get the sense that a lot of ev owners move on to the next model in 2-3 years, but I'm hoping to be able to drive it for a very long time. (Let me know if you are still have any of the redline badges available)
Just picked up a new Bolt Black EUV yesterday. Your videos have really helped in making my decision. I think a redline badge would look awesome on the black exterior if you have any left over!
Not really the topic but I never understood the appeal of getting a lease on a vehicle vs owning it outright and driving it into the ground. What am I missing?
I think for me it makes more sense to lease EVs. 1. You are always under warranty 2. Battery tech is evolves quickly 3. You typically pay a good bit less than a loan payment 4. You get a new car every few years. Obviously the cons of more or less renting a vehicle but I’m not in a position to buy a car outright so paying monthly to rent a nice one doesn’t bother me
Congratulations on your Model 3 highland. I also upgraded to Model Y from Equinox LS. I got really good price. I still have a Bolt EUV 2022 2LT I would love to have one of the Redline badge. No more gasoline on our line up.Subscriber here
I just purchase a used redline 2023 EUV and it didn't come with the redline hatch badge. It doesn't have one at all. Carfax said the car had been in a minor accident and I guess they didn't put the badge back on. I'd love a badge if you have any...or know where I can get one. Thanks and thanks for all the videos. I watched many before my purchase!
I’m at 33,733 miles with my 2022 Bolt EUV. I agree with your top 3 must haves as I’m considering the model Y for my next car. I would also add the supercharger network. Way more reliable than electrify America as someone who uses public charging stations quite a bit.
What type of climate do you live in? That’s a big factor. It kinda learns your style and habits and seems to adjust the estimate based on that. I have had mine project like 180 in the winter bc I blast the heat but I won’t for a few drives and you can watch it adjust
@@MetzTech thanks a lot for quick reply. I live in New York and it's winter right now. I am a little rough driver. I'm not gonna deny that. Let's see how it changes once it gets a little warmer.
I'm very curious as to how big of an upgrade this would be for me, coming from a tempramental 2014 Mazda 3 which causes me to spend $90 a week on gas...this car would cost me under $12 a week on charging. I drive about 650 miles a week just for work.
I love my 2022 bolt euv premier …. Took it to the dealer for updates and it gave me the 80% limit you mentioned but the dealer did not tell me that it did that … I was freaked and had them check it for 2 weeks to make sure the battery was good … after 2 weeks they said it was great … I go 3k a month on it so 2 months now and I will know if that software update is true … the stock tires were worn down at 50k miles .. replaced with some firestone model … a bit quieter and 80k warranty and a bit cheaper than chevy stock tires … I think I will replace this car with the next bolt euv ultimium edition… we love it (adjust wish it would still have CarPlay ) I appreciate your videos … thanks
Great video! I too will be coming up to the end of the lease on my Tacoma. I want to go electric, and I don't need a truck anymore. I'm paying $290 a month right now so I am not sure what to do. I am pumped you are getting a Model 3! I very much want to know if you are leasing and how you navigated the money down and such. The configurator online from Tesla is pretty bad as far as the actual price from my research. I went to a Tesla showroom to ask about the $399 Model Y lease, and they said I would need $5900 up front after all said and done. I never put money down on my leases. I'm looking forward to your future videos!
I would 100% be leasing if I could in KY! Super frustrating. I’m going to be making a video on that soon. Leasing just makes so much more sense for EVs Thanks so much for the support 🙏🏻
I would love one of the Redline Bolt EUV badges for my 2023 Bolt EUV 2LT that I just picked up on January 31st. It is also red, and am looking at locating a set of redline rims for it eventually.
'23 EV 2LT - love the rubber tray in the bottom of the door handles. I plan to do some fake badging or subtle stickers. I wanted white, got a deal on silver, I so not usually like silver, but this is a good 1.
I rented a 2023 model 3 for a week, very uncomfortable. Sits very low to the ground and the B pillar is located weird, as well as the roof line very low. My wife and I both feel our 2023 Bolt 1LT is more comfortable. The model Y however, a whole different story. That’s the one to go with. Stay safe and God bless.
If I were in your position, I'd buy out the lease on the Bolt and wait for the 2025 models equipped with NACS charger ports to come out. Both battery technology and charging speeds are going to improve between now and then. Thanks for sharing!
Hey there, your comment was randomly selected to get a Redline badge. You can message me on instagram @MetzTech or email metz.technology2@gmail.com to connect so I can send it to you!
You probably don't have any badges left where can I get one? Thanks, good review! I think GM fixed the sunroof sealing problem, our 2023 didn't have it. Sorry about the door controls, that sucks!
That's a great list. However, I think that Volvo EX 30 EV for around 35 grand is going to be a huge seller. I've had my new Bolt for about 2 and a half months and so far so good. But there's one thing that does bother me. If the screen is in direct sunlight, even if it's 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside, it gets really hot. I've never had an infotainment screen before. Is this normal? Gr8 vid as usual. 🚙 🇺🇸 🔌
You mentioned that you're not ever going back to ICE vehicles. Could you go into more detail about why this is the case for you? Or possibly point me to a video where you've discussed this in the past? I've heard this same thing in so many videos of people who try EV's. But it's rare that any of them go into specifics. I'm looking to possibly buying/leasing an EV, and I'm trying to get some real world data.
I will never go back to ICE: EV is much cheaper to “fuel” per mile No more stinky gas stations/costco gas lines Full “tank” every morning/no waiting to be a low tank to refuel Quite/smooth/no pollution while driving Much zippier performance/driving experience compared to similar ICE vehicles No oil change/tune up or plathora of other maintenance that ICE needs
@@edsmale If you're willing, could you tell me about the cost of insuring your EV? Is the cost comparable to your previous ICE vehicle? Did you keep the same coverage and insurance company? My big concern is that insurance companies will try to gouge my on premiums.
@ts9658 2 year old chevy bolt, inc new car replacement insurance and higher limits, about 1000 a year. To compare, my 20 yo honda civic, with minimal insurance, was 500 a year. Same insurance company. I think that's reasonable and would be similar to other comparable new ICE vehicles. I do hear teslas are high insurance
Cool I’ve been getting 100-130 miles, without regen break and heat is on with temps 20-40F. Moving to San Diego so that will improve, and was going to trade in for Tesla now with price drop it’s a good deal but enjoy supercruise is nice but took Tesla Y out so much better and safer I would like to get that Red Line Badge too Love your videos

For the charging network alone, Tesla might have to be the choice. I'm hoping GM will come out with a 3rd row EV option that isn't ridiculously expensive in the next few years, like a Traverse.
I have a lot of issues when the car connects to android auto. Sometimes all the buttons on the screen work .Sometimes the bottom buttons don't work. Sometimes the left hand buttons don't work. The solution is to restart my phone. Several times.
I have owned a 2017, 2020, and currently a 2023 Bolt EUV Redline Edition that I use for my Uber business. I also have owned a 2020 Model Y Long-Range, a 2021 Model Y Performance, and currently a 2 months old 2023 Model S Long-Range. I therefore believe that I have a little bit of knowledge of a decent EV for the money. I believe that with your preference of an SUV, the Model Y Long-Range is an excellent option for you. If you can find one in stock right now, It can cost you around 39000 dollars after the 7500 tax deductions, which you can use at the point of sale. You can't beat the Tesla charging network, and remember that the Model Y Long-Range comes with an 8 year and a 120000 mile warranty on the battery, and a 4 years and 50000 mile bumper to bumper warranty on everything else. I have traveled to 6 different states without a single charging incident. You will also love the fast charging speed. The current Model Y Long-Range is also a much more comfortable car than when they were first made. Good luck with your choice
Our low-miles 2022 Bolt-loaded EUV (say for SC) is a great car. And frankly, I thought it would morph into an Equinox EV. But after the devastating reviews on the Blazer and the huge price increase on the Equinox, I've decided that it's time for Chevy and me to break up! I think Volvo is going in the correct direction and as such I've put down a $500 deposit on an EX30. I'll drive the EUV till whenever the EX30 hits Ohio. Regarding the Teslas I simply want something a bit different and I think Elon doesn't need any of my money...
@@bck0001 That's funny, everyone said the same thing about Japanese cars in the 70's... Meanwhile, you most likely have a Chinese Phone in your pocket right now and a Chinese TV in your living room. In my opinion, if we can't build a good affordable EV the buyers will certainly go where they can buy one. Where's the Tesla Model 2, why kill the Bolt and sell $110.000 Hummers instead... Our car companies are making terrible decisions!!
Hey Metz, I don't know what to call you, you never say your name!. Anyway Hi, truly enjoy your videos. In your last one thinking what to get after the bolt I feel you, I was almost in the same situation. The Equinox EV has too many open questions like is it going to have the same issues as the Blazer EV, higher price, software issues!, its better to let those teething problems work out. The Hyundai is an excellent choice, since your not a speed demon and high millage guy, the standard battery is more than enough and Hyundai is throwing the equivalent of the tax credit. The Teslas are always an excellent choice , their so far ahead everybody else, but here is a word of caution from a Tesla Owner. I have a Model Y Dual Motor with the new batteries , its my second Tesla the first one being the model 3. I've had it for a year, and no issues whatsoever, apart from the crazy wipers!. But I've soared with it lately. My insurance has kept increasing every renewal , I live in South Florida and thats part of it, but the latest increase was $600. Is costing me $1888 every 6 months and my agent tells me its one if the best rates. I'm sure you can get a lower rate in your state. Tesla applies the $7500 credit monthly if you lease it, but still have to put almost $6,000 down with the down payment and fees and taxes. So on that note I was trying to get rid of it and getting something cheaper. After doing a little research VW is offering great deals on the ID4, since you did a video on it you know is a great alternative. I found a Pro S plus AWD on a $408 a month lease. Almost $11,000 incentives. By the way I love my Tesla but the cost is making me look elsewhere. So check it out, you can probably get a better deal at your VW dealer!. Good luck.
I had a 2023 Model 3 that I paid cash for, and I had been using EVs from 2015-2020. A couple months ago I sold it and bought a 2024 Kona Limited AWD. I honestly would just recommend getting a hybrid or even a 2024 Hyundai Elantra that can do like 50mpg easy. I road tripped a lot during my Tesla and that's what finally pushed me away from EVs for now. I will stick to PHEV or Hybrids into the future because the car companies seem confused about what consumers want. Maybe if the new Bolt will be affordable to the masses and not a massive SUV, it would seem the market would be moving in the right direction. But as of right now, companies are starting to shift towards PHEV and Hybrids in the near future. Just a consideration seeing how cheap a VERY efficient 2024 Hyundai Elantra is.
If you have not already got the Model 3 or Model Y yet, you should get the Model 3, because it was improved a lot in the 2023 model. but you really should get it in January of 2025 from Hertz, because they sell them for the least amount of money and as long as you qualify you can get it for 4,000 less with the used EV tax credit because it's technically 2 years old .
I'm surprised you are thinking about Tesla. I understand the seats are better but aren't you concerned about the ride quality being so rough it makes the better seats irrelevant?
when you complained about your door locks acting up and then admitted you didnt take the car to be fixed under warranty for over a MONTH, I stopped watching cars are not self healing, or self driving, or self reproducing
“Milage drops to 150 miles in winter… i’m not a person that drives a lot.. you might have to charge your car everyday…” Like .. who drives 150 mikes every day ?! Uber deivers ?! Ok.. maybe ..
Question: after your lease was up with what 25k miles on the bolt. What was your purchase option $$amount? Surely they tried to sell it to you right? Just was curious
@@MetzTech no worries, with the major depreciation with those things and what you pointed out also I thought maybe lol just maybe! 😆They would have gave an offer you couldn't have refused etc. 18 20k sounds typical stealership bs Thanks for the reply doh
I wouldn’t describe the problems I had as very significant. But every car has problems of varying degrees. Expecting to get one that doesn’t is just unrealistic
I wouldn't get a Tesla. Aside from Elon Musk being an absolutely horrible person, their car quality is so bad because they don't care about their employees. They're several lawsuits from employees right now.
Don't you work for a Chevrolet dealership ? And if so why would we believe one word of this video ? There is a possible bias problem with your videos. You seem like a pretty decent human being but if you do work for GM you might be accused of bias.
I work for an Auto Group. We have Chevy but also a bunch of other brands. However, I make videos all across UA-cam on tons of different vehicles and never say anything that isn’t my honest opinion, if I don’t like something I’ll say it. Idc who I work for. That’s how I do it here. Everything said in this video is also my honest opinion. I don’t make a dime from Chevy the brand.
Thanks for the update! I've watched all of your Bolt EUV videos as research. I just picked up a 2023 Bolt EUV last week and it's been a great experience so far. I'd love a Redline badge for my EUV!
That’s awesome! 👏🏼
Got my 2022 Bolt EUV a few months after you did and its been so nice following your journey from the start! Been loving the car and recently added a 2023 Bolt EV to our household fleet! :) I have to look into getting a redline badge myself
Very nice! I appreciate you following along, James!
I got my Bolt EUV in January 2023 so now it’s been over a year and over 6000 miles. All of my driving is within 100 miles and most within 30. I charge up every few days for a few hours and I often charge to 100%. I have leased Hondas; Accords, Civics, CRV’s and even a Prelude and an Odyssey over the past 45 years. They are great cars. This was my First Chevy and it is the best car I’ve ever had. Quick, quiet and comfortable. It’s been completely reliable and with no maintenance. We still have our 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid which again, is a great car But I never drive it. I mean, we still do drive it to Charlotte, about 100 miles away, in part because we can pack more, it rides higher and of course no range anxiety. We’re at the end of that lease which has always been a welcomed cycle and time to go get a new Honda but this time is much different…. So like you, I am debating what car to get next. Test driving is the most fun part of getting a new car so I’m test driving everything… everything electric. I’m completely sold on EV’s I never had a nicer, more fun car to drive. My best friends had Chevy classics growing up but I never did. To get a Chevy EV was a huge leap but turned out to be a good one. I like the OnStar feeling. I haven’t needed to use them at all but I called just to see what they do. They were able to ‘see’ my car and would provide roadside assistance if ever needed. It was a pleasant experience. So I’ve test driven the Blazer, the Lyric, I would like to try the Equinox and or the new caddy EV when it comes out. I’ve also tried the Volvo, the Mercedes, the Nissan Ariya and the Kia EV6. They were all nice. Size and style wise we might consider the Volvo. Two features I’m looking for are extended range of 300 plus and vehicle to home charging ability. We want to get down to one car so I’m strongly considering just selling the CRV but I also want to try the Prologue which should be out in a couple months. They would probably offer a better trade in than a sell price so I just extended my lease which gives me some options. Like leasing the Prologue and selling the Bolt at the end of its lease. These are all first world problems as you pointed out. We have reached an age where hey, this could be our last car so get the one you really really want. So we’ll see. In the meantime I really appreciate your real world experience videos. You do a great job and best of luck to you!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Pete! And thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Check insurance rates on the Tesla - they are high even with an outstanding record! Cheers Louis
That's for sure
I had a BOLT for a 3 year lease. The best feature was factory heat-blocking glass. The car stayed cool on 100F+ days with little effort by the AC.
I now have a BOLT EUV. No special glass! I've had to add ceramic tint to achieve a cool interior.
I’ve driven a bolt EUV premier for 13 months now, I’ve put 28,000 miles on it, and one month ago I got the model y as a second car. The model y has so much more space than the bolt, but it’s also a bigger car, it feels more stable on the road and the seats feel more comfortable and charges faster on superchargers. But I miss the bolt’s 360 parking assist, ventilated seats and digital view mirror, even though those features on the bolt are not perfect, they’re soo much better than the Tesla. I’d still take the Tesla due to its vast amounts of space and fast charging.
It’s so strange that Tesla doesn’t do a 360° view. The cameras are all already there, it would just be a software thing. The pro there is that they could always add that later while legacy manufacturers just can’t do that.
@@MetzTech I think the issue is they don’t have a front bumper camera so they can’t see towards the front accurately, at least in the non highland refresh models, but maybe they can improve their software for 3D reconstruction parking assist enough to become something we can rely on
That’s true they don’t, but there are 3 cameras facing forward. So you would think they could do something
I have a bolt & my brother has a Tesla 3. I will never buy a Tesla and my brother wants to get rid of his Tesla because of the crazy nuts Elon M.
The power door locks have been a major issue for me on all of my previous GM vehicles over the last 20 years now. Multiple doors failed on each by 50,000 miles. Our 19 Volt has had 3 of the 4 doors fail by 50,000 miles. I'm annoyed the Bolt has this issue too. Wish GM would get this right. Love the Bolt EUV otherwise, it's been a fantastic vehicle. I have 23K miles on mine and just past 2 years exactly as of today actually.
I've had my 2019 Premier since brand new (i.e. I'm into the 6th year of ownership) and it is THE best car in my life. The only hiccup during those years was the failed 12-volt battery - all it took was a call to OnStar, they sent a tow truck and had the battery replaced.
Other than that, zero defects. Joy to ride.
I love my trunk liner for my Equinox. It is the one that also attaches to and goes up the seat backs. I was sceptical of the material when I picked it up from my dealer but it has made loading and cleaning the rear area so easy. Also is protecting the carpet.
GM loves the LRR tires for EVs for better range. But I replaced my Volt tires with standard tires for Chicago winters and never really noticed too much of a range decrease.
I’m in Orlando now and we just got the Equinox EV in the Epcot GM showroom. It looks so much better in person.
As for Tesla, I will never own another. I waited a few years to buy my Model 3. loved my stereo, autopilot, and the seats were the best seats I’ve ever had in a car. But I spent so much time at the Service Center that they made a joke one day that my car spent more time with them than with me. And that’s not a joke you should be making when your car was the premier mass market EV. I know they were trying to lighten the mood but that never sat well with me.
Just bought a 23 bolt euv and would love a redline badge
I would like the OEM redline badge. Thanks for the update and honest reviews!
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
I’ve got a 2022 Bolt EUV that was built after the battery fix, so I never had limited charging. I can get close to 300 miles on a full charge in the summer, down to the 180 range when it’s really cold. Anytime the temps get into the 40s or below, you see the range dip. I’ve got 52,000 miles on mine and just replaced the original tires. The OEM tires have limited traction when new, and it just gets worse over time. Other than a loose occupant sensor connector in the drivers seat I haven’t had any warranty repairs. So far the Bolt EUV has been a tough little car. Mine definitely gets used hard for full time Uber. It’s also done Home Depot runs, carried furniture, etc. my biggest gripe is the suspension. Somehow it is both harsh and soft. Potholes crash through the whole car, and it is easy to bottom out over speed bumps. Also, the factory wiper blades barely lasted a year before they started stuttering across the windshield (I had the same set of wiper blades on my 2017 Chevy Cruze for 5 YEARS). Overall I love the Bolt EUV. It’s a way better vehicle than my old Cruze. I’ll be keeping it until the battery dies
Congrats on 3 years! I'm cheap so I would buyout the Bolt's lease and wait a couple years for the Equinox or Blazer to get sorted. As far as channel content, the Model Y seems like a no-brainer.
I definitely considered that! Not a bad path either. Especially since interest rates could ease up a bit 😮💨
When the bolt came out I went to the dealer 100% intending to trade my car in and come home with a Bolt. Then I drove it, and the folding lawn chair seats changed my mind. And yes, it was a premier with the ‘upgraded’ seats.
Trust me I know. It’s tough to drive nice cars for a living and then go back to the Bolt seats. Especially the cloth ones. Luckily I don’t have a ton of body pain yet… but 🤷🏻♂️
So, my Subaru Forester finally kicked the can after 200k. After watching your content and some others, I went with a 2023 EUV. I wanted to wait for the Equinox EV, but I’m not convinced it will be $35k since dealers will probably mark it up, and I need a car now. (My Subaru was hemorrhaging oil and it needed about $3k of work).
I’m digging my EUV. Base model with a few added features, was only like $22k after the $7500 tax credit taken off at the dealership.
The interior is a little smaller in terms of width compared to my Subaru, but WAY more leg room. So far I’m pretty happy with it.
.What year was your Subaru?
It was a way different class then the Bolt. I can see it has alot more room
A lot of the complaints you're saying seem to be addressed in the new Bolt EUV coming out next year. It will be on the Ultium platform I plan to wait and check that one out before I switch to an electric. The price is just too hard to ignore
Definitely interested to check it out once the new model is released!
Just picked up a 23 Bolt EV, seats are definitely a little stiff, even the leather ones, but putting a folded blanket down mostly solves the issue for me thankfully. Thanks for your videos. Will be looking out for these issues (also going to go easy on the hatchback handle hehe)
I’ve had the 2017 Bolt, and am getting one of the 2023 2LT Bolt EV. Great vid 👍
Very nice! Thanks for watching
Ioniq 5 is the move. I had a Bolt and went into the Ioniq 5, and most of the issues with the Bolt are solved with the Ioniq 5. Especially the tires/ride.
I feel like the current deals on 23 Ioniq 5s plus dealer discounts will give you a very affordable payment.
It is very tempting. I want to go test drive one
I would look at the battery issues a few Canadians are having before touching a Hyundai EV. If you get a scratch on the battery protector, it voids the warranty apparently and they make you buy a whole new battery which costs more than the vehicle.
@@halifaxstar this is why the news isn’t the end-all, be-all.
If you watch these stories very carefully, the instances of this were when the car ran over something substantial and bent the casing of the battery cover, damaging other components in the process. Yes, the warranty is voided because running over something does not constitute a defect in workmanship as prescribed in a warranty. You have heard of this happen what, twice altogether?
Same thing for many other EVs. It is fair that they should work on a stronger casing… but if you don’t run over something quite large in the road, this is never going to be an issue.
@@MetzTech also keep in mind:
- Build quality in the Ioniq 5 is far superb.
- Ride quality is far better
- if you choose AWD, power between that and long range AWD is very similar.
- personally, the Model 3 is boring and kinda meh in design and the Ioniq 5 is one of the best-looking cars on the road.
- Way better warranty for Hyundai
- Vast dealer network (esp being around Louisville.. I live near there as well and know going through Tesla for things isn’t nearly as convenient).
The new model 3 redesign looks very very good IMO
I got my 22 EUV two years ago and it's been great for me. I'd love one of those red line badges for mine :)
As for what I would upgrade to, probably an ID4, with the battery made in the US and qualify for the tax incentive.
If the 2024 could get here faster I would definitely consider it
Dang, I just picked up an EUV Premier the other week, in particular after watching a bunch of your videos covering the car. Already got 1700mi on it after 2 weeks of road tripping and driving all over. Absolutely love the thing, despite getting unlucky with the transmission pump failure showing up in newer models, and fully intend to drive it until it will no longer drive. Especially enjoying the premier features tbh. I was originally going to go redline, but the dealerships with them didn't implement the new tax credit systems so I ended up going for a normal one, which actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise! I got a decent deal, and it turns out I love the silver flare I got. All the redlines nearby were flat white(wasn't a fan in person) or black(california sun would kill me). The black/blue interior has also grown on me a lot, and I think I like it more than the flat black I would've had in a redline. Although the red/black badges would be a very nice fit on the silver if you have spares or know where to get em 👀
Thanks for all the info you've put up about the EUV! Hope you enjoy whatever you end up in next.
I always thought the silver looked really nice in person. Not typically a fan of silver cars but it looks good. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Great information. Thank You for your excellent information and sharing your experiences with your Bolt. 😊
Not a fanboy of Tesla, don’t like the speedo in the center of the car, and not a fan of comrade Elon. I have a 2023 Nissan Ariya Venture +. 304 epa miles, I get about ~340. I preorder my for $46.9K plus the $7.5K tax credit. I think they have good lease deals now, but I would get the Venture + fwd with the extra range. I am interested in the Equinox EV in the 1LT or 2LT models in about 18 months. 319 epa miles sound really sweet and can’t wait to test drive one!
this
I'm looking at getting either the 2025 Bolt or whatever they call it then or the Volvo EX30.
I would love the badging, although I would probably customize it. I have a 2021 Bolt EV, and I'd love this. Been thinking about doing some red accents, making it look nice. This would be a great way to kick things off
Bought my 2023 EUV LT almost exactly a year ago. Was able to pick it up for $19k after tax credit/discounts. Still love it. I have almost 20k miles with no issues on mine. It's my first EV, i get the sense that a lot of ev owners move on to the next model in 2-3 years, but I'm hoping to be able to drive it for a very long time.
(Let me know if you are still have any of the redline badges available)
Just got mine!
Impressed how clean you’ve kept the car with dogs. Any tips?
Get a pet seat cover for the back. If they ride in the front we typically put a blanket down. And get a air gun lol
The Ioniq 5 is an absolutely stellar vehicle.
Just picked up a new Bolt Black EUV yesterday. Your videos have really helped in making my decision. I think a redline badge would look awesome on the black exterior if you have any left over!
Thanks for watching, Randy!
Not really the topic but I never understood the appeal of getting a lease on a vehicle vs owning it outright and driving it into the ground.
What am I missing?
I think for me it makes more sense to lease EVs.
1. You are always under warranty
2. Battery tech is evolves quickly
3. You typically pay a good bit less than a loan payment
4. You get a new car every few years.
Obviously the cons of more or less renting a vehicle but I’m not in a position to buy a car outright so paying monthly to rent a nice one doesn’t bother me
Extended test drive.
Also, some cars won't last you 10 years anyways.
Agreed I buy, usually used. $
Great video, dude. Thank you. How often did you rotate the tires in the 3 years and 26K miles you had the car?
I think they did it two different times when I went in for other service items
Cuál es el porcentaje ideal para mantener la carga de batería? 30 al 80 o 20 al 90%. Los leo. Gracias
I have a red bolt EUV, Thanks for your videos. I'd like the badge for my bolt.
Congratulations on your Model 3 highland. I also upgraded to Model Y from Equinox LS. I got really good price. I still have a Bolt EUV 2022 2LT I would love to have one of the Redline badge. No more gasoline on our line up.Subscriber here
🙏🏻 thank you!
Some good info. Just purchased a 2023 Bolt EUV. Any Red line Badges left? Would love to put on my Bolt EUV.
I just purchase a used redline 2023 EUV and it didn't come with the redline hatch badge. It doesn't have one at all. Carfax said the car had been in a minor accident and I guess they didn't put the badge back on. I'd love a badge if you have any...or know where I can get one. Thanks and thanks for all the videos. I watched many before my purchase!
I’m at 33,733 miles with my 2022 Bolt EUV. I agree with your top 3 must haves as I’m considering the model Y for my next car. I would also add the supercharger network. Way more reliable than electrify America as someone who uses public charging stations quite a bit.
That’s definitely a huge consideration
Hope you are doing good. I have a bolt Euv 2022. It used to get around 250 on 80% charge but now it gets 165. Can't understand why.
What type of climate do you live in? That’s a big factor. It kinda learns your style and habits and seems to adjust the estimate based on that.
I have had mine project like 180 in the winter bc I blast the heat but I won’t for a few drives and you can watch it adjust
@@MetzTech thanks a lot for quick reply. I live in New York and it's winter right now. I am a little rough driver. I'm not gonna deny that. Let's see how it changes once it gets a little warmer.
Yeah it will definitely be significantly worse in the winter, it gets better lol
I'm very curious as to how big of an upgrade this would be for me, coming from a tempramental 2014 Mazda 3 which causes me to spend $90 a week on gas...this car would cost me under $12 a week on charging. I drive about 650 miles a week just for work.
I love my 2022 bolt euv premier …. Took it to the dealer for updates and it gave me the 80% limit you mentioned but the dealer did not tell me that it did that … I was freaked and had them check it for 2 weeks to make sure the battery was good … after 2 weeks they said it was great … I go 3k a month on it so 2 months now and I will know if that software update is true … the stock tires were worn down at 50k miles .. replaced with some firestone model … a bit quieter and 80k warranty and a bit cheaper than chevy stock tires … I think I will replace this car with the next bolt euv ultimium edition… we love it (adjust wish it would still have CarPlay ) I appreciate your videos … thanks
Great video! I too will be coming up to the end of the lease on my Tacoma. I want to go electric, and I don't need a truck anymore. I'm paying $290 a month right now so I am not sure what to do. I am pumped you are getting a Model 3! I very much want to know if you are leasing and how you navigated the money down and such. The configurator online from Tesla is pretty bad as far as the actual price from my research. I went to a Tesla showroom to ask about the $399 Model Y lease, and they said I would need $5900 up front after all said and done. I never put money down on my leases. I'm looking forward to your future videos!
I would 100% be leasing if I could in KY! Super frustrating. I’m going to be making a video on that soon. Leasing just makes so much more sense for EVs Thanks so much for the support 🙏🏻
Think about the Kia EV6
I have reviewed it on the channel. I like it a lot. Just not sure I could afford it
I would love one of the Redline Bolt EUV badges for my 2023 Bolt EUV 2LT that I just picked up on January 31st. It is also red, and am looking at locating a set of redline rims for it eventually.
Wait for the model 2 in 2025?
I wish I had that long 😳
'23 EV 2LT - love the rubber tray in the bottom of the door handles. I plan to do some fake badging or subtle stickers.
I wanted white, got a deal on silver, I so not usually like silver, but this is a good 1.
I rented a 2023 model 3 for a week, very uncomfortable. Sits very low to the ground and the B pillar is located weird, as well as the roof line very low. My wife and I both feel our 2023 Bolt 1LT is more comfortable. The model Y however, a whole different story. That’s the one to go with. Stay safe and God bless.
Thanks for the advice, Darryl! I’m definitely interested in how I would feel riding that low!
If I were in your position, I'd buy out the lease on the Bolt and wait for the 2025 models equipped with NACS charger ports to come out. Both battery technology and charging speeds are going to improve between now and then. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. If you have anymore badges I'd love one
Hey there, your comment was randomly selected to get a Redline badge. You can message me on instagram @MetzTech or email metz.technology2@gmail.com to connect so I can send it to you!
You probably don't have any badges left where can I get one? Thanks, good review!
I think GM fixed the sunroof sealing problem, our 2023 didn't have it. Sorry about the door controls, that sucks!
That's a great list. However, I think that Volvo EX 30 EV for around 35 grand is going to be a huge seller. I've had my new Bolt for about 2 and a half months and so far so good. But there's one thing that does bother me. If the screen is in direct sunlight, even if it's 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside, it gets really hot. I've never had an infotainment screen before. Is this normal? Gr8 vid as usual. 🚙 🇺🇸 🔌
I have definitely noticed that before. I think it’s how it’s angled. If it were straight up and down I don’t think that would be as much of an issue
Hi nice video . Am I the only one getting 320 mile to the Charge I have a 2022 bolt I do drive like a grandpa 😂.
That’s the best efficiency I have ever heard of! 😅
@@MetzTech ua-cam.com/video/f8HLleP66kw/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
@MetzTech can u check the video out thanks.
I got a 2023 EUV Premiere Redline Edition with 14600 mi to sell bonus Michelin Xice snows on own rims with less than 2000 mi all option packages
Thanks for your information. I'd like to have the badge please
Take a look at the Ioniq 6 and EV6 also.
I actually have reviewed both! Great vehicles, but it was Tesla all the way for me
Model 3 Highland if you need it soon or a Model Y Juniper if you can wait.
Someone didn’t watch till the end 😉
Oh I did & I mentioned Highland & Juniper since plenty of 2023's are available. You really shouldn't insult your viewers.@@MetzTech
Haha I’m not insulting you, homie. Not in the slightest
You mentioned that you're not ever going back to ICE vehicles. Could you go into more detail about why this is the case for you? Or possibly point me to a video where you've discussed this in the past? I've heard this same thing in so many videos of people who try EV's. But it's rare that any of them go into specifics. I'm looking to possibly buying/leasing an EV, and I'm trying to get some real world data.
I would love to! I’m going to make a video specifically answering this questions for you!
I will never go back to ICE:
EV is much cheaper to “fuel” per mile
No more stinky gas stations/costco gas lines
Full “tank” every morning/no waiting to be a low tank to refuel
Quite/smooth/no pollution while driving
Much zippier performance/driving experience compared to similar ICE vehicles
No oil change/tune up or plathora of other maintenance that ICE needs
@@edsmale If you're willing, could you tell me about the cost of insuring your EV? Is the cost comparable to your previous ICE vehicle? Did you keep the same coverage and insurance company? My big concern is that insurance companies will try to gouge my on premiums.
@ts9658 2 year old chevy bolt, inc new car replacement insurance and higher limits, about 1000 a year. To compare, my 20 yo honda civic, with minimal insurance, was 500 a year. Same insurance company. I think that's reasonable and would be similar to other comparable new ICE vehicles. I do hear teslas are high insurance
lol thats funny my car payment was the same. When I hear how much people are paying for car notes now I have a mini heart attach lol. I cant.
It’s the interest rates. It sticks
Cool I’ve been getting 100-130 miles, without regen break and heat is on with temps 20-40F. Moving to San Diego so that will improve, and was going to trade in for Tesla now with price drop it’s a good deal
but enjoy supercruise is nice but took Tesla Y out so much better and safer
I would like to get that Red Line Badge too
Love your videos
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Hey there, your comment was randomly selected to get a Redline badge. You can message me on instagram @MetzTech or email metz.technology2@gmail.com to connect so I can send it to you!
What about the mustang?
For the charging network alone, Tesla might have to be the choice. I'm hoping GM will come out with a 3rd row EV option that isn't ridiculously expensive in the next few years, like a Traverse.
What's about the Kia EV 6, great EV.
It is great! I think it’s a bit out of my budget.
I have a lot of issues when the car connects to android auto.
Sometimes all the buttons on the screen work .Sometimes the bottom buttons don't work. Sometimes the left hand buttons don't work.
The solution is to restart my phone.
Several times.
ive heard a lot about EV tires lately. seems they wear out sooner because of the battery weight.
I can see that for sure
They do wear out faster, but I'm happy with that considering the savings I get
Ionic is too pricey but so cool. The tesla charging network is excellent.
😏
I’d love one of those Bolt Red Line you’re giving away please ! I have a black 2021 Bolt EV Premier
I have owned a 2017, 2020, and currently a 2023 Bolt EUV Redline Edition that I use for my Uber business. I also have owned a 2020 Model Y Long-Range, a 2021 Model Y Performance, and currently a 2 months old 2023 Model S Long-Range. I therefore believe that I have a little bit of knowledge of a decent EV for the money. I believe that with your preference of an SUV, the Model Y Long-Range is an excellent option for you. If you can find one in stock right now, It can cost you around 39000 dollars after the 7500 tax deductions, which you can use at the point of sale. You can't beat the Tesla charging network, and remember that the Model Y Long-Range comes with an 8 year and a 120000 mile warranty on the battery, and a 4 years and 50000 mile bumper to bumper warranty on everything else. I have traveled to 6 different states without a single charging incident. You will also love the fast charging speed. The current Model Y Long-Range is also a much more comfortable car than when they were first made. Good luck with your choice
Our low-miles 2022 Bolt-loaded EUV (say for SC) is a great car. And frankly, I thought it would morph into an Equinox EV. But after the devastating reviews on the Blazer and the huge price increase on the Equinox, I've decided that it's time for Chevy and me to break up! I think Volvo is going in the correct direction and as such I've put down a $500 deposit on an EX30. I'll drive the EUV till whenever the EX30 hits Ohio. Regarding the Teslas I simply want something a bit different and I think Elon doesn't need any of my money...
The EX30 looks great. My family has had some issues with Volvo which gives me pause. But I would definitely test drive one.
The Chinese ownership does Volvo in for me, and reputation of the modern ones. Good older memories of a 740 wagon though.
I would avoid Volvo wait for GM iron out their EV issues
@@sa2005 I've owned a Volt, Bolt EV, and Bolt EUV and in every case GM has made terrible bonehead decisions on each of these platforms. I'm Done!!
@@bck0001 That's funny, everyone said the same thing about Japanese cars in the 70's... Meanwhile, you most likely have a Chinese Phone in your pocket right now and a Chinese TV in your living room. In my opinion, if we can't build a good affordable EV the buyers will certainly go where they can buy one. Where's the Tesla Model 2, why kill the Bolt and sell $110.000 Hummers instead... Our car companies are making terrible decisions!!
Hey Metz, I don't know what to call you, you never say your name!. Anyway Hi, truly enjoy your videos. In your last one thinking what to get after the bolt I feel you, I was almost in the same situation. The Equinox EV has too many open questions like is it going to have the same issues as the Blazer EV, higher price, software issues!, its better to let those teething problems work out. The Hyundai is an excellent choice, since your not a speed demon and high millage guy, the standard battery is more than enough and Hyundai is throwing the equivalent of the tax credit. The Teslas are always an excellent choice , their so far ahead everybody else, but here is a word of caution from a Tesla Owner. I have a Model Y Dual Motor with the new batteries , its my second Tesla the first one being the model 3. I've had it for a year, and no issues whatsoever, apart from the crazy wipers!. But I've soared with it lately. My insurance has kept increasing every renewal , I live in South Florida and thats part of it, but the latest increase was $600. Is costing me $1888 every 6 months and my agent tells me its one if the best rates. I'm sure you can get a lower rate in your state. Tesla applies the $7500 credit monthly if you lease it, but still have to put almost $6,000 down with the down payment and fees and taxes. So on that note I was trying to get rid of it and getting something cheaper. After doing a little research VW is offering great deals on the ID4, since you did a video on it you know is a great alternative. I found a Pro S plus AWD on a $408 a month lease. Almost $11,000 incentives. By the way I love my Tesla but the cost is making me look elsewhere. So check it out, you can probably get a better deal at your VW dealer!. Good luck.
Thanks for watching! My name is Louis!
That’s insane to hear about your insurance. Definitely something to consider!
I had a 2023 Model 3 that I paid cash for, and I had been using EVs from 2015-2020.
A couple months ago I sold it and bought a 2024 Kona Limited AWD.
I honestly would just recommend getting a hybrid or even a 2024 Hyundai Elantra that can do like 50mpg easy.
I road tripped a lot during my Tesla and that's what finally pushed me away from EVs for now. I will stick to PHEV or Hybrids into the future because the car companies seem confused about what consumers want. Maybe if the new Bolt will be affordable to the masses and not a massive SUV, it would seem the market would be moving in the right direction. But as of right now, companies are starting to shift towards PHEV and Hybrids in the near future. Just a consideration seeing how cheap a VERY efficient 2024 Hyundai Elantra is.
I respect it, but I could never go back to a gas/hybrid. Just not for me! But I get that they aren’t for everyone
If you have not already got the Model 3 or Model Y yet, you should get the Model 3, because it was improved a lot in the 2023 model. but you really should get it in January of 2025
from Hertz, because they sell them for the least amount of money and as long as you qualify you can get it for 4,000 less with the used EV tax credit because it's technically 2 years old .
Oh… I did. 😁
I'm surprised you are thinking about Tesla. I understand the seats are better but aren't you concerned about the ride quality being so rough it makes the better seats irrelevant?
Well the suspension has been improved on the updated model 3. Also to be fair I’m used to a rough suspension on the Bolt lol
used 2022 Kia EV6 with 10000mi or less about $35,000 or less

😏
when you complained about your door locks acting up
and then admitted you didnt take the car to be fixed under warranty for over a MONTH, I stopped watching
cars are not self healing, or self driving, or self reproducing
Well I appreciate the comment nonetheless!
Also…some are self driving 😬
“Milage drops to 150 miles in winter… i’m not a person that drives a lot.. you might have to charge your car everyday…”
Like .. who drives 150 mikes every day ?! Uber deivers ?! Ok.. maybe ..
That’s 150 estimated lol 😆
I would rent the car your looking into
This way u find out if like the car
Plus check into dealership
My co work had problems
I would recommend a Tesla Model 3 RWD with Tesla insurance.

Question: after your lease was up with what 25k miles on the bolt. What was your purchase option $$amount? Surely they tried to sell it to you right?
Just was curious
I think it was like 18k? 20k? I don’t remember exactly
@@MetzTech no worries, with the major depreciation with those things and what you pointed out also I thought maybe lol just maybe! 😆They would have gave an offer you couldn't have refused etc.
18 20k sounds typical stealership bs
Thanks for the reply doh
LMAO traction while turning is a driver issue not a tire or car issue
The parts are from China. On 20 percent of the parts come from America
This shows Chevrolet arent very reliable... It is only 3 years old and it has so much problems
I wouldn’t describe the problems I had as very significant. But every car has problems of varying degrees. Expecting to get one that doesn’t is just unrealistic
Equinox man, c’mon.
Tesla will put you in the poor house.
Why is that? My Model 3 was cheaper than almost all of the Equinox EVs
@@MetzTech A new 3? What did it cost?

I wouldn't get a Tesla. Aside from Elon Musk being an absolutely horrible person, their car quality is so bad because they don't care about their employees. They're several lawsuits from employees right now.

Don't you work for a Chevrolet dealership ? And if so why would we believe one word of this video ? There is a possible bias problem with your videos. You seem like a pretty decent human being but if you do work for GM you might be accused of bias.
I work for an Auto Group. We have Chevy but also a bunch of other brands. However, I make videos all across UA-cam on tons of different vehicles and never say anything that isn’t my honest opinion, if I don’t like something I’ll say it. Idc who I work for. That’s how I do it here. Everything said in this video is also my honest opinion. I don’t make a dime from Chevy the brand.
Don't lie to people I own GM cars that is cars and they are all POS
Everything I say is my true and honest experience. I’m sorry yours has been poor
