This video provides an update on the ongoing efforts to address issues with a recently acquired 2016 Cadillac ELR and a 2015 Chevy Volt. The host details the process of sourcing and fitting new tires for the ELR, noting the current summer tires are worn and unsuitable for colder weather, leading to a $1,700 expense for four tires, TPMS sensors, and an alignment. He also discusses the ELR's non-functional heated seats, with a diagnostic visit to a Cadillac dealership quoted at $216 just for inspection, and a potentially flaky touchscreen infotainment system. For the Chevy Volt, a rattling noise was traced to a loose charging cable, a simple fix. However, a mechanic recommended replacing the rear brake rotors and pads, estimating $525 plus tax, though the host opted to defer this as it wasn't deemed an immediate safety concern. The review highlights the ELR's refined interior with no rattles or wind noise, contrasting with the Volt's excellent heated seats. A future comparison video between the two is teased, with the ELR being the preferred vehicle.
