You have to be a nut to want a bolt.
Pinto Deja vue.
Obamamobile. They sold for $30k but cost $50k to build.
Park your bolt outside so it doesn’t burn your house down...
Oh, and the Chinese control the materials to make electric car batteries.
They are bolting from the Bolt?.................
Makes more sense.
“Mr. Jones, I’ll be late for work today. I forgot to plug in my car last night.”
Another “woke” company.
Well, that’s a relief. We don’t have the electric generating capacity (especially in California) to run these coal cars anyway.
My 25 year old Saturn (GM) is still going strong. It hasn’t caught fire once or ever been recalled.
That’s an easy fix.
Just install fire extinguishers in key places around the car.
Is NBC soaking the interior of the BOLT for better pyrotechnics? They fabricated Pinto stuff didn’t they?
$1 billion additional for an additional 73,000 cars. That works out to just under $13,700 per car.
With gasoline and diesel engines you would occasionally hear of engine fires. The repairs would be something like part of the wiring, or a switch, or fuel injector. The repairs would be at most a few hundred bucks a car WITH labor!
Here they are replacing the entire battery packs: the most expensive component in the car, and one that the target buyers couldn’t even afford at the price GM would have to charge without taxpayer subsidies.
I’ve heard these batteries are obsolete and don’t use the same technology as GM’s newest stuff. How many of the public will get that message or understand it? And are these obsolete batteries even still in production? Do they exist large enough numbers to support the recall?
Bleeding edge innovators - gotta have the latest and greatest... :-D
Based on the number of vehicles recalled (73,000) and the cost to repair ($1 Billion), the cost of replacing the battery in vehicle is $13,698.63
GM ought to just put in a 4 cylinder gas engine in each one and give each owner $2500 on a gas card. They would be money ahead...
The Bolt is much more dangerous than covid vaccines.
At least you can still light your cigarette off it even though they’ve deleted the lighter from the dash.
