Given that real-world experiences don't seem to be painting a picture that's drastically different than GM's claims (and recognizing that for every individual, YMMV... literally, lol), I'm trying to figure out what misrepresentation folks are up in arms about.
Sure GM probably picked scenarios with high probabilities of success. But I'm not seeing reports that the average joe is getting only 175 miles of range under typical circumstances. If anything, folks seem to be meeting or exceeding the specs.
So... have I simply not seen a lot of real-world experience that belies GM's claims at this point?
I was talking in general...basically the several hundred pages of this thread, and about the several prolific pro-Bolt/GM commentators.
The Bolt is, by all accounts, a great BEV. However, it's not magic, it's not a competitor to the Model 3, GM doesn't actually want to build them (as they've done nothing to allow their profitability), the CCS network isn't comparable to SC stations (and despite continued future projections by others, won't be anytime soon).
It would be great to have a reasonable discussion about the vehicle, but since certain people go to great lengths to avoid everything noted in the above paragraph, it's impossible.
