Or is that cutting off your nose to spite your face? I certainly have
no alignment with GM and have never owned a GM vehicle.
Sometimes the best way to get mass acceptance is to get the resisters on
board. Want to get more EVs on the road? Get the big guys to promote
them. Want to get more solar and wind? Get the big utilities to see
investment in them as better for their bottom line than coal. You still
might have to hold your nose, though :)

I'll still never forgive them for what they did to the EV1.
As you well know, GM's sins extend far beyond what they did with the
EV1. They insured that the only battery at the time suitable for an EV
would never be used in an EV. Not only did they kill their own EV1
program, they set back EV development for ALL EV and potential EV
makers by ~15 years.
No sense in cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I'd HAVE to cut my nose off to buy one of those. I wouldn't be able
to hold
it long enough to get out of the showroom.
I'm certainly with David here. I will claim that anyone that is
willing to buy a Bolt just hasn't been informed of GM history.
Besides, it has that bloody Onstar spyware. But then that's not much
different from having Elon Musk riding in the back seat of every
Tesla.
David, i suspect you have not yet had your Tesla test drive. I
encourage you to do so.
Apparently, OnStar will give the Bolt the capability of doing "over the
air updates" as Tesla does. But GM will not use that capability; every
Bolt will have to be taken to a dealer to have such updates installed.
One of the many joys of owning a Tesla is that you wake up every once
in a while with a software update that adds new capabilities, corrects
problems, or just generally makes things nicer.
