    Auto braking question

    I wouldn't call it braking, but on my 2017 Premier, it does put the car into a regen mode. It doesn't stop, but it feels like I took my foot off the accelerator. You have to push down a bit to override or let off in L mode and the car will stop.

    OTA Software Update

    Yes, the update resets the charge settings back to the defaults. So go back into energy settings and customize them to your preferred settings.

    Pre Conditioning

    You can pre-condition anytime you can reach the internet. It doesn't have to use bluetooth. I have my vehicle far from my phone and pre-condition in the mornings. It uses the cellphone connection inside the Bolt to connect from Onstar, just as the other Onstar functions work. So you can also...

    New Software 14.5 installed by Dealer

    I visited my dealer yesterday, but didn't realize that 14.5 was installed until today. That is when I removed the charge cord and the alarm turned on. I had turned it off in settings. So, I can report that Keypass now is working on my car with this new software. I don't play mp4's so I didn't...

    Android Connects and Disconnects

    Each time this happens to me, I first reboot the Bolt screen and then reboot the phone. Seems to clear it up each time. However, it is a pain.

    Keypass just stopped working and now refuses to pair?

    Doesn't work on my Pixel XL either and Bolt doesn't have the Pixel XL on the supported list.

    Infotainment ===> 15.0

    Android Auto is experimenting with connection without the cable. The WiFi is already in the car. When it is available in Android it would be nice if Infotainment also supported that mode. It would be great if Infotainment supported messaging without the cable also and that doesn't need a new...

    Infotainment Software 14.1.0 to 14.4.2

    Just had the dealer install this update today. Bluetooth is solid. Keypass still has issues. Overall it seems to be a better release than the previous one I had. However, still has the bug that if you don't get the Bluetooth the first time correctly, you have to power down the car and let it sit...

    Charging in peak when set to off-peak only

    I have the same problem and changing the departure time to 4am fixes the problem. That gives it an extra hour during off-peak.

    Charger Efficiency

    Level 2 chargers are slightly more efficient. Once you get a meter on the EVSE on a dedicated line, I think you will see better efficiency. The numbers you are seeing are way low.

    So Fl environmental questions

    I am not in So Fl, but here in San Diego we are having 90 degree weather with 80 percent humidity and I keep my Bolt outside attached to a Level 2 charger all the time. The end result is no effect. The Bolt charges and doesn't have to use extra power to handle the temperature and humidity. As...

    Microphone works with OnStar but not with Carplay or Bluetooth

    I can only tell you from my experience that for some reason the bluetooth doesn't pick up the car microphone, but instead it is using the phone's microphone. Not sure why that happens. Try making the call using the phone when it is connected and speaking into the phone. For some reason on my...

    The return of the missing key fob

    I had the same problem and hitting the physical home and Fast Forward buttons until the screen rebooted fixed it. I tried many other combinations of solutions, but a reboot fixed it. It seems to happen when the linux OS that runs the console is having issues. I also know that the bluetooth radio...

    How does Bolt predict mileage ranges?

    I think it seems to be a simple calculation of the miles per kWh and the kWh left in the battery. It doesn't seem to vary until my miles per kWh changes. I drive fairly consistently, but as I have become more familiar with the Bolt I drive more efficiently and the miles per kWh is going up. I...

    Software update to make camera much more useful

    I just put the car into reverse and then back in drive. That turns on the camera without the three touch situation.

    On the Model 3 waitlist, but seriously considering a Bolt (Lease? Buy? Wait?)

    Lease is negotiable between 3 years and 4 years. There maybe shorter options, but I wasn't interested in them. The lease is a fair deal. Not as good as GM has had in the past when lease rates were 0, but fair in today's economy. There are dealer advantages in this lease so your dealer has room...

    Key Fob not recognized

    Interesting new problem tonight. Stopped by local store. Exited car and it autolocked. Returned to car and driver door unlocked when I hit the button, the passenger door did not unlock when I hit it again. Opened driver door and got in, but unlock buttons did not unlock car. Hit power button and...
