After getting tied up in the BOLT recall last year, and walking away from my orange 2017 BOLT EV, I'm happy to say that I'm now back in a BOLT...this time a BLUE BOLT EUV! 😎
It was a long time coming. I'm happy to be in one that checks all my boxes. 😁

I've had my 2023 EUV Premier for a week, and I love it. What a great car. Yeah I didn't want "Super Cruise"...mostly because it's a subscription for it to work. After the trial three years are up it's $30 a month. You pay $2200 for that option, then have to pay a monthly fee, that's deal breaker for me.

That's why I looked into Comma Ai. I just couldn't get it to work. I kept getting the message, "CAN Bus Disconnected: Likely Faulty Cable" ...I tried replacing BOTH the network cable and the USB-C cable to no avail. After returning it I started to wonder if there was a setting in the car I needed to adjust first that may have been the root cause of that message. Until I can get a solid confirmation on that front I can wait before attempting to get one again.

I have nearly the same car, ‘23 blue Premier that also has Super Cruise. It’s fantastic, I’m really enjoying the car. Hope you enjoy yours

Happy to see a video from you again! I think the EUV looks much nicer than the regular Bolt as well. I've had the 2019 Bolt and now the 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR, and they're both great cars. I hope the CCS charging stations become more reliable than they were in the past. I know EA had replaced hardware at quite a few sites.

No. At this time there is no tax credit for the BOLT EUV.

I saw that...I'm not sure what was wrong with my setup. I kept getting a message "CAN Bus Disconnected: Likely Faulty Cable" I tried replacing both the network cable (to which tech support said wasn't the issue) AND the USB-C cable to no avail...I finally gave up and returned everything as I was done messing around with it at the time. IF I can figure out what the issue was or see someone else with detailed instructions on how to get it working on a 2023 BOLT EUV I may give it another try....what I would like to see is someone explain in detail the "CAN Bus Disconnected: Likely Faulty Cable" error and how they resolved it. Where both of my cables were good I'm guessing it was something else, but the message was sending me on a wild goose chase.

Does the base EUV have the 360 camera?
@bmhsonic
Жыл бұрын
No, the base EUV would be an LT...a step up would be the Premier...the Premier has the 360 camera...one of the reasons why I went with the Premier...also coming from a Tesla I'm surprised that my Model 3 didn't offer a 360 camera...it's a great feature to have.

So why did you switch away from the Testla?
@bmhsonic
Жыл бұрын
I had an opportunity to cut my vehicle debt in half, and I took it...after already being a BOLT EV owner, and having a chance to try out a TESLA it wasn't as hard of a decision for me to make as opposed to if I hadn't had either vehicle before to compare to. The TESLA was great, but as Elon Musk has said himself their prices are "embarrassing". I still can't believe I got what I got for it. IF pricing ever comes down I *may get another, and that's where Chevrolet won me over. What *was a $42K car just last year now cost me just shy of $35K The long range Model 3 that I bought new at the time last year cost $52K...it really shouldn't be much more than $42K IMO. Both cars are great, and I enjoy driving both of them, but I find there's more value for less cost in the Chevrolet so that's why I went back.

I am glad you went back to a bolt. I hated seeing you get a Tesla after how excited you were to get the 2017 bolt. I was with you when you got the leaf and bolt . I want a bolt euv too . I still have my 2012 leaf. Hope you and Ben are good and glad to see you back on youtube after a long drought.

This is what I was originally trying to put myself into when I got caught up in the recall last year. I see no need being $50K+ in debt on a vehicle. The Tesla was nice, yes, but at the end of the day all I need is a car to get me from point A to point B and this does that quite nicely for me.
