The issues of going above the cover are security (people can see that there's stuff in the back of the car) and safety (an accident can cause cargo above the lid to shift into the passenger compartment, rather than agains the backs of the rear seats). It isn't all about rear visibility, though there is that too. We don't really use the rear mirror camera. That feature seemed interesting at the dealer, but we ended up not liking it.At least on the Premier trim of the Bolt the rear view mirror is also camera-based so any luggage in the hatchback area doesn’t obstruct the rear view.
Last October or November, wow that's almost a year ago now!When was that?
The AC Destination chargers. Assuming the property owner is cool with it, and I'm not sure why they wouldn't be, as they aren't controlled by Tesla at all.
I don't know if they can handle the 277V AC ones, though?
The Superchargers are an entirely different deal, as your vehicle needs to identify itself and be linked via a Tesla account. That'd be a hellva hacking feat and I have little doubt Tesla would be all over it like white on rice to patch/thwart. That sort of thing would have to come via a manufacturer taking up Musk on his offer of buying into the SC network.
Yea but sometimes you just have a tall object like a carboy full of water, or wort, or a C02 Tank, or propane tank that you don't want to play down in transport. That's where hatchback's are way better.The issues of going above the cover are security (people can see that there's stuff in the back of the car) and safety (an accident can cause cargo above the lid to shift into the passenger compartment, rather than agains the backs of the rear seats).

Don't get me wrong. We love our Bolt. It's been a great car.
I've talked to one neighbour at length since I got the Model 3. "This looks really nice.... I don't mean to say bad things about your Bolt but...." *cringing face* "Why can't GM make a nice looking electric like this?"I don't get this mocking of the Bolt's appearance. Sure it's far from a sexy sports car looks. But it looks like a normal hatchback/wagon to me. Not weird like the Leaf or Prius or i3. The Tesla X, on the other hand, looks like an egg, Lol. That's what my non-EV friends said when the X was first released.
I don't understand what this is referring to?Last October or November, wow that's almost a year ago now!
I loved that sentenceIf the Model 3 was made to drive, the Bolt was made to park.
My character probably deserves a beating, but I've never understood the desire to hurry to a red light.What can I say? Patience is a virtue, and if you’ve the patience to wait for a Model 3 to drift to a stop, I’m sure that speaks well of your character. I do hope you can forgive me for being glad not to be behind you while you do this.
Same here. But then I'm the heretic that turned regen to *low* in the settings.Yes, I can. Do it all the time. But then I’ve practiced using minimal braking on ICEs over the years as well. Admittedly, I don’t like jerky braking. I like the braking to be real smooth with not a lot of inertia and when the vehicle finally stops I want it to flow into the stop with absolutely no bump at the end. It’s just a thing I picked up as a kid from my dad.
I think the idea is that a 100 kW rated DC charger will succeed in pushing the maximum Bolt rated 60 kW.According to what I've ready, our Bolt tops out at a 100kW charge rate.
The nearest one to me is 277V and yes the Model 3 works with it (now, it was a stealth update some time back), it's actually apparently more reliable on it than the S or X. I don't know exactly how many are like this but they are going to be at least semi-common in facilities that are 3-phase, so larger malls and such, that's where the number comes from.I think there are few 277V destination chargers and I have the sense that they may not work with the Model 3.
....in the 0.01% of vehicles that have cell failure problem. Again, this is absolutely nothing like the Tesla patches (the next one isn't either is my understand, although as I've said I haven't got the letter yet). These are recalls, not upgrades.The patch improvements were aimed at improving the car’s behavior while driving the car.
Yes it is. A cynic would say intentionally so. I started in on the purchase process thing "yeah, I need to get that, no brainer, future proofing for resale". The more I dug the more I shook my head. The actual peak charge rate, the charge rate curve. What it'd practically look like to road trip, even assuming good L3 placement down the road, what that was going to cost. In 5 years nobody is going to buy a 2017 Bolt in this area thinking "yeah, this is something I want to make a trip in", even with the DCFast.I think the idea is that a 100 kW rated DC charger will succeed in pushing the maximum Bolt rated 60 kW.
It is confusing.
Source?Here is a map fragment showing (only) approximate Electrify America locations around Texas that are planned for completion within the next year or so:
@Jeff NSource?
Because that looks a lot like someone did a fuzzy trace-over of the SC network (and skipped AE off Sawmill in the The Woodlands?).

Um, I said the map shows approximate locations.... They are still in the process of signing leases for exact locations that match these approximate high-level planning locations for the ~300 highway DC charging clusters. It also shows the 17 communities that will get ~186 community DC charging clusters.This map looks like faked trash, that's the good scenario. If it's not it's my worst fears about EA made manifest.
So it's imaginary crap you tried to shovel on us. "Approximate". LOLUm, I said the map shows approximate locations....
I certainly wouldn't accelerate to a red light, but yeah, I prefer to reach my spot in the line of cars reasonably quickly and then stop, so that whoever is behind me doesn't have to watch me keep creeping forward after they pull up behind me. I think traffic at a light works better that way for all concerned.I've never understood the desire to hurry to a red light.
This is where TACC really shines, IMO. Set it and forget it.I certainly wouldn't accelerate to a red light, but yeah, I prefer to reach my spot in the line of cars reasonably quickly and then stop, so that whoever is behind me doesn't have to watch me keep creeping forward after they pull up behind me.

The only exceptions that come to mind are those infrequent, happy occasions when you know that by the time you reach a red light, it will turn green, and so it makes more sense to go up to the light slowly, but not come to a full stop, and retain as much of all that hard-won kinetic energy as possible.
