    Hyundai will annonce Ioniq EV for U.S. market

    My current BEV has a 93 mile EPA range and is my only car. I've done 37,000 miles in it without range issues. The Ioniq would give me 33% more range and 10% more power for a lower MSRP and likely a lower monthly payment. It also has standard or available: a heat pump, homelink, power seats...

    Bolt self started/moved, and backed into garage wall/cabinet

    I'm not dismissing that this could be a design fault and I'm of the general opinion that automakers should stop tinkering with such an important interface so well-understood by all drivers (PRNDL lever). However I find it extremely difficult to believe that this car started itself from a...

    Bolt self started/moved, and backed into garage wall/cabinet

    While some sort of comically-bad software could conceivably start a car without keys, put said car in reverse, and crash itself into a shelf, I think it's extremely unlikely. I would imagine that the systems and software that operate the key authentication and bootup process are very distinct...

    Bolt self started/moved, and backed into garage wall/cabinet

    It looks like the damaged bench wasn't particularly robust in the first place; a 3500 lb car bumping it at 0.5 MPH could have been sufficient to break it apart as shown in the photo. It appears the car sustained nearly zero damage and the wall behind the bench was undamaged, implying a very...

    Bolt self started/moved, and backed into garage wall/cabinet

    Just trying to eliminate variables here. I think the concept of the car turning itself on without keys, putting itself in reverse, and driving itself into a bench is borderline impossible. If we can determine that the car could have been left running in Neutral and that the OP would have...

    Bolt self started/moved, and backed into garage wall/cabinet

    This all seems so implausible. When you say you left the car and the doors locked automatically, did you verify by pulling a door handle to make sure they were locked? How are you certain they locked? Could the car have chirped to let you know that you shut the door and walked away while it...

    The seats are a deal killer.

    I have a March 31st 10:00 am (Pacific) Model 3 reservation so if that car materializes on time it's plausible that I'll be able to get mine when my Soul EV lease is up. Otherwise I'm moving on to the Ioniq or '17 (124 mile) eGolf. I can't deal with the Bolt's seats and I had a very bad...

    The seats are a deal killer.

    I initially experienced the Bolt at the LA auto show in November and the car on display did not give off a good impression of interior quality for a $44,000 car. It was that nauseating sea of grey plastic that GM used to be so notorious for and there wasn't a soft surface in sight. The seats...

    Bolt Review after 2 weeks - Purch 12/31/16

    While in an active Apple Maps route through CarPlay, touch the screen once to present the options at the top of the map. One of them is "Detail" which will give you a 3D map that will zoom in/out at necessary. Alternately do the same thing while in 3D mode and the button will change to...
