That's a fantastic post, Paul. thanks.

Thanks for the info. I saw the post about Mammoth on MNL, and have signed it.

Paul, the most recent thing I remember about these was your 5/30 post on MNL about the awards not happening until early this month, and completions allowed as late as June 2019: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=25946 and then this post from July here (and ISTR reading it on MNL)...

http://gmauthority.com/blog/2018/07/two-future-gm-electric-cuvs-to-use-bolt-ev-platform-launch-by-2020/#ixzz5QH8AyiDu The only reason I want AWD is for convenience in conforming with California's snow chain requirements. Presumably owing to the fact that most Californians live at low altitude...

I test drove one in February, and enjoyed it a lot - it still torque steered, but even though it had even more torque it seemed easier to control under hard accel than the Spark EV I'd test driven a few years earlier, maybe due to the longer wheelbase. Unfortunately, all of my driving was on...

My understanding is that you get variable regen using the paddle by holding it and adjusting the accelerator. I have no actual experience of that, but have read it. Personally, unless I have a prolonged steep descent such as the ones I've mentioned, I expect I'd use 'D' on highways, with...

No worries, I'd forgotten that exchange myself until I did a search of my posts! Memory's the second thing to go, and I forget what the first one is ;)

Paul, Thanks for the info, and I look forward to your impressions. I've only been over Walker pass once maybe 15 years ago, and IIRR wasn't driving at the time, so don't remember much about it other than the wildflowers (it was spring, and we were on the way back from Death Valley via a long...

Been a member for awhile actually (see my join date and this post in reply to one of yours a while back: http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4894#p9093), but rarely visit or post. Thanks for the info.

Paul, I was wondering what 'gears' you used descending from Tioga Pass to Lee Vining (actually, just the steepest part in the first five miles or so). Were you in 'D' or 'L' the whole way or switch between them, and did you use the regen paddle and if so, in which 'gear'? As I am often...

I'm aware of the charger situation in Yosemite (i surveyed then all as well as potential new locations last September), but there are eVgo dual-mode QCs along Hwy 99, so the Bolt should be able to make the round trip from them to/from the Valley, perhaps taking it a bit slowly - from the QC in...

I'm surprised no one's mentioned doing so so far.

The Datsun (with Hitachi-SU carbs, like mine, instead of the Solexes) had 135 hp @ 5,600, and 132 ft./lbs @4,400, but its curb weight was only 2,100 lb. By modern standards it wasn't particularly fast, somewhere in the low to mid 9-sec. 0-60 range depending on who tested it IIRR, but for its...

Yep, that's me. It's a question of a daily commuter, which my Datsun 2000 was, as well as my 'take it out for an hour and push it on the twisties' car. Don't get me wrong, the S2000 wasn't bad, just the torque curve required a little too much rowing around town to be ideal, where by contrast...

[First post here, but regular on several EV forums] Yeah, when it finally comes time to get a PEV, giving up a clutch and stick will be my biggest regret, as by choice that's all I've ever owned. I at least want maximum control of regen steps to give me something to do while driving on winding...
