    Lousy Paint Job on Roof Rack

    From Day 1 the roof rack on our 2017 Bolt EV never had quite the same lustre that the rest of the car's paint had. I didn't give it enough attention (as in scream bloody murder to the local dealership), and that inattention has bit us in the behind. If those roof rack components were a snake...

    No Bolts In Canada - 12 Month Wait??!!!

    Orange County to Zion National Park (via Las Vegas) in the Bolt!

    "...there will be so many of them (Model 3s) on the road that their charging infrastructure will NOT have kept up with demand and it will be a nightmare on the road for ALL of us..." That observation is not restricted to just Tesla. With the rapid acceptance of the Bolt, and the...

    From a Leaf to a Bolt: Early Returns

    We just went all-electric with the purchase of a Bolt for my wife. That one follows my CPO Tesla Model S85 that I got in Aug '17. We were in line for a Model 3, got an invitation to configure in January, but my wife wanted no part of the display screen, does not like sedans, requires a...
