    Aftermarket seat cushions

    Just had a thought. :idea: GM should offer the original seats as optional "Sport" seats. :D No one would ever complain about them, and the rest of us could get the comfortable version included at no cost. That should offset the cost of developing the new comfortable seats too.

    That worked about a day, then it came back. Last I checked there were 4 instances of 0.0 in my favorites list... :x Update, now there are what looks like 10 instances of 0.0. Hard to count as scrolling down just shows 0.0 for the whole way to the end of the list.

    Anyone else having trouble with going to fast?

    The only problem I've had with speeding is explaining to my wife why her range went down from 248 on Friday to 199 on Monday. That's after a "Full" charge with Hilltop Reserve turned on and AC off. It's going to take awhile to get used to her slow daily commute after our high speed run on...

    No driver's charge state display on 220V!

    I always see the display the first time I open the door. Subsequent times it's blank. Never used 120V, always 240. You don't actually need to look at the display, the dash light blinks once in the lower 1/4 of charge, then blinks twice till half charge, then 3 times, and then 4 blinks. Solid on...

    Update. We did get one phone to connect for a while, but it dropped out when moving the phone, suspect bad USB jack. Second phone then setup identically, same model, same versions, worked for almost 20 minutes but dropped out for no apparent reason. USB jack NOT the problem on this one. Still...

    Still just getting this today: Seems like junk software to me.

    Problems, Bugs, Weird Stuff, Glitches, Concerns Here

    14.1.0 installed, all the same symptoms I described still occurring... Today it refused to acknowledge the phone was compatible at all. Perhaps in a few hours it will decide to connect and drop the connection at the first sign of activity as before. The dealer has told me that the TSB does not...

    1st Malfunction

    For the record, I wrote none of that quote. However my experience with my android is similar. When it does connect it drops out at the drop of a hat, or the first attempt to actually use it. Useless at this point. {mod edit. Fixed quoting error.}

    Anyone else feel that this TSB is piss-poor? No VIN, no software version, just a date, and the plate on the car does NOT say any more than month/year. I took my car in and asked if this applied after my backup camera failed to work one time and was told it did not apply. The date on the...

    1st Malfunction

    Mine did just the opposite. Put it into reverse, no camera, just the Bolt screen. Cycled power, no help. Finally walked the keyfob away from the car for 10 minutes, maybe more. Came back and it had cured itself. Dealer could not duplicate naturally, but they did check if there were any updates...

    Aftermarket seat cushions

    Be aware that the color may not be what you want. I ordered gray, and got something closer to beige. After getting that refunded, I ordered the same thing from a different vendor, only to receive the same not-gray item. Black or white may be OK, I can't say, but the gray is definitely off, IMO.

    Aftermarket seat cushions

    This one fits well enough: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Front-Seat-Cover-Pad-Car-Seat-Cushion-Cover-Full-Surround-Protect-Seat-/332179033042?var=&hash=item4d5769cbd2:m:mj07tbDoyo28jjJ_UzXAyFQ&vxp=mtr Needed some zipties to hook it down, sort of difficult to tuck inside the hard plastic on...

    200 Miles - Sausalito to Bear Valley. HEIP!

    Two things: The included EVSE ("trickle charger") can be used at 240V IF you have an outlet AND an adapter to fit the outlet. That will double the trickle charge miles. On the other hand... Hilltop reserve takes only 10-15 off the full charge, the 6000 ft elevation changes will probably add...

    100 miles of charge overnight from included charger

    I have not even removed the included EVSE from it's hidey-hole. It would be nice to know if it has a label stating the voltage range it's designed for, maybe I'll look at it a little closer someday. The adapter would be easy-peasy to make. I've found that I use a 240V station, or DCFC pretty...
