Yes.

That is not correct, I have my USB Auto Launch set to off and my Carplay works just fine, launching all on it's own. It will resume whatever I had playing last time I unplugged from the car without issue and without me needing to touch anything. Make sure your Carplay settings on your phone...

What settings do you have the car set to for the auto lock / unlock in the settings screens? I have mine set to not lock with the key in the car and I have left the key with my kid in the back seat and it chirps at me that I am leaving my key in the car and it won't auto lock the car. As a...

I did the ghetto fix, black electrical tape. :)

One thing I would be curious about is if a car cover like these would negatively affect the cooling system for the battery/charger. I have noticed when it comes on the fan seems to exhaust out around the front left wheel. If the car cover is over that would it blow it up like a ballon? Make it...

You do, you can't see the cut unless you are under the car though. Pretty easy to cut as well.

I bought and installed the same one, I have been happy with it so far. It was really easy to install.

If you have a smart phone you can install the myChevrolet app and do that. http://www.chevrolet.com/my-chevrolet-mobile-app

This video makes it appear that the install is pretty straight forward. None of the drive components would be affected, just whatever is under the battery to cover/protect it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67jJ90cacV0 Of all of the major components I would be the least concerned about the...

Not sure what they did to you but my buying experience was simple and they treated me fair. No up charges or anything. While I was sitting there getting ready to sign paper work someone offered 3k over invoice for the car and they said they already sold it for invoice.

Yeah, i'm not concerned with it. Just interesting observations to me really. I'm mainly just curious about how it all works and I don't have the equipment to really dig into it. Plus with sharing my observations perhaps that will help those who have the time and equipment.

Yes, it doesn't state the 90% figure in the manual. There are however reports from engineers who worked on the Bolt that it is supposed to charge to 90% with Hill Top reserve set. http://www.motortrend.com/news/chevrolet-bolt-ev-engineers-reveal-11-cool-facts-car-year/ That is just one place i...

I don't think with Hilltop set that the charger does any balancing of the cells. I say this because if I watch the car charging in hilltop when it hits 90% or close to it, the charge cycle just stops. However if I let if charge full there is a time period where the car reports as fully charged...

That is my assumption as well.

Once i figured out the toggle between D/L it made me happy. I use it really often on highways as where I am I may be going full speed for a few miles and then stop and go for a few miles. So for those full speed times I can kick it into D real easy to let me coast better. Then when I approach...

You would be correct. I assumed what they told me was correct so i've never looked into it. Not really a shocker that a dealer got it wrong, I mean it is a completely new model.

For what it's worth i've run my heater at max (while parked) when outside temps were in the mid teens (think it was 16 degrees that night) and I never saw my draw hit 9kw. I never saw it go higher than 7kw and once the temps were reasonable within the car it was sitting closer to 3kw most of the...

Until Chevy gives us a way to select charging capacity (beyond hilltop mode) I will just be using that. I am not all that concerned about charging to 90% as compared to 60%. Sure 60% max SOC should give overall less battery fade but to me it isn't such a significant difference that I am going to...

Just got mine two weeks ago. :)

While I was there buying mine three different customers tried to take if for a test drive. Luckily my dealer was like nope, it's sold.
