Definitely occurred to me that it's something else about my car that's killing the battery, but, as you say, they don't know what it is. Or IF it is. The real issue for me, then, is that if this is true, I'll always be at risk of having the car stall and being stranded, and as far as I know...

That's pretty much it: I went to the dealer today to have a software update recall seen to, and they tested my battery (my new battery, as the first high-voltage battery failed in January and was replaced) and found that it has a defective cell and must be replaced. Again. So. Bad luck, or is...

Them, and Yelp, yeah, once I've gotten my car out of their hands today. It'd be okay if the car took a few days to diagnose, if they started working on it when they said they would, and gave me a loaner so that I didn't have to rent a car when clearly the issue is a failure in a six-month-old...

Hey there - I've had my Bolt for three months without issues, but for the past two days, it has "lost" my home location, such that, when I get home, it wants to be in "immediate" charge mode and has to have the home location deleted and reset to get it to use the "rate and departure time"...
