Ugly? Yeah, no disagreement there. But weren't they made so they redirect the wind away from side mirrors to avoid wind noise? So there's at least a reason for them being ugly. As per topic, if you look only at the headlights, then S or X headlights look better compared to the 3. But, if you...

Some folks here have reported that when it's cold enough you notice that charging is much slower than normally but you still get some charge from 230V/13A. So it uses portion of the power to heat up the battery.

Yeah that makes sense. That's pretty much only thing that does make sense in the dealership-model that seems to be used in the USA, at least from my perspective :D

Yeah, that's why I said I understand why they are doing it, it's still silly though :)

Agree, but I think it's stupid for journalists to compare it to the model 3. I mean, I get why they are doing it but it's still stupid. It's like comparing VW Golf to BMW 3-series or something like that. Completely different cars for different segments.

Haven't been following those bills since those don't matter here in Europe. But I think I saw one comment somewhere (can't remember where) that the bill would've only allowed Tesla to sell directly while other OEMs would've still been locked in the dealership model? If that's true wouldn't it be...

So most likely 60kWh usable and real battery size is a bit bigger? I guess there are no facts about the battery's real size at this point. Edit: grammar

Ok, thanks :) I don't usually mind dislikes since I can usually understand why someone did it, I just couldn't spin my head around this one and it left me puzzling :D Edit: typo

Hi Jeff N. You're free to dislike my posts but I would like to know what about that post was that you disliked? If there was something factually wrong I'd like to correct it.

I am not quite sure why you seem so hostile, maybe it's just me misinterpreting you. I merely pointed out that the length isn't that exotic considering that it's supposed to be a hatchback. As for price, I'm not that interested in digging too deeply in to that since Chevy's website is horrible...

For a forum seemingly interesting in success of BEVs (granted, not every member is interested in that) there's plenty of bashing going around when someone publishes IMO a reasonable BEV. Is the Bolt for everyone? Of course not - there isn't a car in the world that would be suitable for...

Would be interesting to hear about this in more detail. If nothing else then a PM would be nice :)

Indeed, I see no reason to drop reservation (excluding possible financial reasons etc. [people do unfortunately get laid off]) before some real facts are provided, be it about interior, SC payment scheme or battery/range sizes.

Offtopic, maybe this should be split into separate thread? But how much do you get from feeding the grid? The little (and I mean *little*) investigation I've done here isn't too promising.

Agree with idle fees, have to disagree with charging idle fee for charging above 80% or even 90%. Plenty of valid cases where someone needs to charge that high.
