Boltpals: I received the OTA software update email like the rest of you. Has anybody actually had a successful OTA software update yet?

Boltpals: Love my Bolt. Really do. I continue to have bluetooth flakiness. I have an iPhone 7 with all the updates. My Bolt is a late December '16 build, so I have one of the Bolts where I can remove the fuse and eliminate the low speed buzzer...but that is another story. My head unit is...

Boltpals: I have a late December 16 Bolt LT. I got the 14.1 software update a few months ago. My bluetooth still is flaky, and sometimes causes the head unit to crash during a call. Have others continued to have this problem after the update? Is the firmware update different, and perhaps it was...

Hi guys. Got my software updated recently per the TSB to 14.1. My car is a 12/2016 build. I had lots of software bugs before the update. Seems better now, but just wanted to report that the bluetooth reset problem still occurs. That is, sometimes initiating a bluetooth call from the touch...

So, I was driving home today from work at about 6 PM on Highway 12 into Sebastopol in Northern California where I live. Going the other way was a white car, small, with the characteristic front of the new Tesla! Saw it for just a moment, but it sure looked like it. Any idea if they are testing...

Dear Bolt Team: Love the Bolt. Interesting software bug that is rather annoying. At night the center screen does the correct thing, and becomes the night theme with dark background. The 10 inch radio screen is supposed to do that too, but often upon starting the car at night it stays with the...

BoltPals: I have my front seat heaters set to auto on my LT. How can I tell when they are on? I have not seen the dash light come on in the infotainment screen showing they are heating. I set my heat to auto on cold mornings, and all is well, but I can't tell if the seats are heating or not. If...

BoltPals: I have my home charging set up to use the hill top reserve, so the car charges to around 90% on the departure setting. I do that to preserve the battery long term, like I did with my Leaf. Probably not necessary, but there you have it. Now, some days I may want to do a full charge if...

Well, here are 4 pieces of 8 foot lumber inside my Bolt.

BoltPals: There seems to be an interesting software bug. A number of times I have had the situation at night where the 8 inch dashboard screen shows the appropriate night dark theme and dim illumination, but the 10 inch touch screen stays on the day configuration. I think this has happened when...

BoltPals: Just discovered that the center console armrest slides forward! I love that. My Honda did that, and I prefer the elbow position. I do not see that listed in the manual anywhere. I have the LT trim line.

BoltPals: I am driving to the airport soon. 70 miles. Plan to leave the car for a week. Perhaps 50 degrees or so. Should be plenty of range to return without charging, but what about the active battery management system? Will it draw down the charge? Not an issue with my past Leaf, since it...

BoltPals: I have an AeroVironment 30 amp EVSE that I had installed with a dedicated 40 amp line in 2013 for my Nissan Leaf. Works perfectly with the Leaf before I traded in the Leaf. Now with my Bolt on occasion it errors out, and does not charge. Last night I plugged in the Bolt and got the...

BoltPals: When considering the possibility of longer range travel with our new Bolts, I want to understand if my math is right. If I have a Bolt with say 1/2 the battery drained, and I use a Chargepoint DCQC with 24 kW max, if all goes well, I would add 24 kWh in one hour? So, at about 4 miles...

BoltPals: I have had my Bolt for 3 days, and I think the car is terrific. I thought I would jot down some impressions after reading numerous likes and dislikes in this forum. I have 3 years of EV experience with my 2013 Nissan Leaf. I really liked that car. It did what it was designed to do...

BoltPals: Just got my orange Bolt LT. Love it. Past Leaf driver. Loved it too. I live in California. Can I apply for the $2500 from the state for my 3 year lease? Or, did Chevy do that? Also, can I apply for the PG and E $500 rebate too?
