Yeah messing around with the base price like they did the Model S would be unwise.I don't think they will, but the idea that they would raise the base price after ~400k reservations seems less than incredibly unlikely.

I don't think Tesla will raise the base price of the Model 3. I think it will be available at some point for $35,000 plus destination. But option pricing could be set anywhere.
By then there will be the 2018 or 2019 Bolt with whatever specs and prices those vehicles have.
And apparently GM could also since it is priced almost $6,000 cheaper in Canada when accounting for the exchange rate (Canada has no national EV incentive).
This implies that GM can/will drop the price below $35,000 when the US tax credit runs out.
For whatever the reason, GM seems to be selling the Bolt at an unexpectedly lower price in Canada. That implies that GM has the ability to lower the price in the US as well at some point such as when the US federal tax credits phase out. Lowering the price when the tax credits are gone is critical to keeping the Bolt competitively priced against gas cars and against other BEVs from companies who will still have tax credits because they joined the plugin game later (VW, FCA, Toyota, Mazda, etc).I am not really sure what you're implying.

I was going to argue wasted opportunity, in removing that shifter, putting it somewhere else, and giving us more usable space for other stuff. But there is an argument of "people are used to it", and perhaps it's just a preference, so, well, I didn't argue.There are no gears, no cables. It's single speed. "Electronic Precision Shift" refers to the shift selector. It's marketing.
Then I saw the images which show this shift pattern:
R N
P
D
Now, that has to be worst of both worlds. Something that looks like a shifter people are used to, but without the PRND. Why would they do that?

So in light of the proposed full camera suite for AP 2.0 and Self Driving, what is the over under that GM will do the same for the 2018 Bolt?
For the Left Bolts are they using Lidar? Seems everyone else if going that way for Self Driving, whereas Tesla isn't.No idea. They are certainly working on it. Whether it arrives in Cadillac or a Bolt first is unknown. Supercruise is the next incremental step past the existing ACC, LK, AEB systems.

Ah so they are going the Tesla route. You think they will jump on the Drive PX train or will they stick with MobilEye?GM has been focused (har) on video image processing. My daughter's 2013 Chevy has it. It uses both sensors and video together to warn of danger.

I was reading an article on Supercruise. It doesn't appear Chevy is going the crowd learning route. That seems shortsighted.GM has been seriously quiet about what they are doing. The Supercruise project isn't ready for release, and we know little about it. I've read it will track the driver's eyes, and if the driver is asleep or disabled, it will try to wake him, and if that doesn't work, it will pull over safely, turn on the hazards, and call 911 with the GPS coordinates.
