2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland: One Week Owner's Review
The reviewer provides an in-depth, first-week owner's perspective on the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland, highlighting its significant upgrades over ... moreprevious models and the Chevy Bolt. Key positives include the refined interior with ambient lighting and comfortable, ventilated seats, the intuitive and fluid infotainment system, and the impressive driving dynamics, particularly the road grip and continuous acceleration. The reviewer praises the removal of physical stalks for turn signals and gear selection, despite the initial adjustment period for the steering wheel buttons. The technology suite, including Autopilot, is a major draw. However, the review doesn't shy away from Tesla's notorious build quality issues, with the reviewer experiencing a non-functional passenger door release and a persistent fan hum requiring a service appointment shortly after delivery. While acknowledging these flaws and the potential for software features to be removed, the reviewer ultimately finds the overall package, technology, and driving experience at the $39,000 price point to be a compelling value proposition, making it a significant upgrade from the Bolt. less
Hyundai Ioniq 6 Review - A Chevy Bolt Owner's Perspective!
The Metz Tech review of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6, from the perspective of a Chevy Bolt owner, highlights a striking exterior design with its unique pi... morexelated lighting and smooth, modern lines. The interior is praised for its innovative design elements and comfortable seating, though some materials are noted as being too scratchy or oddly placed, such as the window controls on the center console. The reviewer particularly admires the infotainment system's graphics and responsiveness, but notes the disappointment of wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Positives include the spacious rear legroom and the car's fun, engaging driving dynamics with ample power and good handling. However, criticisms are leveled at the busy rear design, the small frunk, the less aggressive regenerative braking compared to the Bolt, and the poor quality of the standard rearview camera. The reviewer also points out the excessive noise from the EV powertrain at certain speeds and the overly large control stalks. The limited trim offers significant upgrades like a 360-degree camera system, Bose audio, and remote parking assist, which are highly recommended. less
2022 Chevy Bolt EUV - 3 Years Later | How Has It Held Up?
After three years of ownership, the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is presented as a practical, albeit imperfect, electric vehicle. The reviewer highlights s... moreeveral quality control issues, including protruding liftgate lining, a detached seat handle, and problematic door locks requiring multiple actuator replacements, all thankfully covered under warranty. Real-world range is respectable, with the reviewer achieving 224-227 miles in summer, dropping to 150-180 miles in colder weather, with a noted range of 140-150 miles when heavy heating is used. Interior materials, particularly the cloth seats and trunk carpet, show some wear but have generally held up adequately. Driving performance remains consistent, though the reviewer suspects tire wear may be contributing to occasional traction loss in wet conditions. Despite the issues, the reviewer is considering the Equinox EV, Hyundai Ioniq 5, or a Tesla for their next vehicle, prioritizing semi-autonomous driving, modern tech, and more comfortable seats, with a lean towards Tesla due to its feature set and potential incentives. less
Your First Look at the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV
The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS is presented as an exciting new entry in the electric SUV market. The reviewer highlights its striking design, particu... morelarly the RS trim's aesthetic with its blacked-out badging and two-tone wheels. Inside, the cabin receives praise for its premium feel, featuring a black and red contrast with leather and microfiber accents, and a "velvety" Ecotex seating surface. The massive 17.7-inch infotainment display, powered by Google, is noted for its smooth operation and crisp graphics, though the camera interface is criticized for its odd layout and information density. Performance is described as adequate for daily driving and passing, with 288 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque, though it's explicitly stated not to be a "Model Y" competitor in terms of raw acceleration. The reviewer also touches on the unique gear shifter mechanism and the distinct electric "whirring" sound during acceleration, which is appreciated. Key omissions for this specific model include Super Cruise and a panoramic sunroof, though these may be available on other trims. Overall, the RS trim is presented as a stylish and well-built electric SUV with a comfortable interior and competent, if not exhilarating, performance. less
2022 Chevy Bolt Q&A - Is It Worth Buying?
This Q&A video addresses numerous viewer questions about the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, offering practical insights beyond the initial one-year revi... moreew. The reviewer confirms the vehicle does not come with a spare tire and discusses potential range impacts in extreme climates, suggesting cooled/heated seats as a practical alternative to heavy HVAC use. Real-world range is estimated to be around 200-220 miles, necessitating charging for longer trips. The video strongly advises against using extension cords for charging due to slow speeds and safety concerns, recommending a Level 2 charger or public charging. While roof rails are functional for accessories, a tow hitch requires significant modification. The reviewer highlights the substantial price drop for 2023 models, deeming them an excellent value, though the tax credit is no longer applicable. The owner's personal purchase details, including trade-in value and monthly costs (around $300 total including electricity), are transparently shared. The Level 2 charger installation process, while taking about two weeks, is praised as a significant convenience. The reviewer confirms the absence of interior ambient lighting and expresses strong satisfaction with the Bolt EUV, stating a definitive inability to return to internal combustion engine vehicles. The EUV is preferred over the EV for its rear legroom, styling, and standard dual-level charging cable. less
One Year With My 2022 Bolt EUV - Do I Regret It?
After one year of ownership, the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV 1LT presents a mixed bag for the reviewer. While praised for its cost-effective charging, amp... morele storage space for gear, and innovative features like the shift-by-wire pad and one-pedal driving, significant drawbacks have emerged. The reviewer highlights issues with the charging port latch mechanism, a faulty liftgate handle, a poorly affixed seal near the liftgate, and a broken seat adjustment lever, all within the first year. Additionally, the door lock/unlock buttons have ceased functioning, and the absence of adaptive cruise control is a notable regret. Real-world range is significantly impacted by cold weather, with an estimated 75-mile difference between summer and winter conditions at 80% charge. Despite these quality control concerns and the compromises of the base trim, the reviewer finds the overall ownership experience financially beneficial compared to a gasoline vehicle, particularly when a Level 2 charger is installed. less
Use This to Watch Netflix in Your Car - MMB Android OS 11 Adapter - 2022 Update
This video provides an in-depth review of the MMB Android OS 11 adapter for CarPlay, highlighting its "2022 Update" and third-generation imp... morerovements. The reviewer praises the significantly enhanced packaging and a more compact, sleek product design compared to the previous model. Key functional upgrades include the move to Android 11.0 from Android 9.0, the addition of a dedicated GPU, and an HDMI output for external displays. The adapter offers a comprehensive suite of features, including wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, phone mirroring, casting (with caveats on network requirements), and direct access to apps like YouTube and Netflix via the Google Play Store. The reviewer notes minor drawbacks such as a slight audio delay and potential stuttering with high-refresh-rate content, which are largely dependent on the vehicle's display and internet connection. The product is recommended for users with factory-installed wired CarPlay who desire advanced infotainment features without replacing their existing screen. An optional air mouse accessory is also reviewed. less
One of the First Owners in the Country - 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV - Review
The reviewer provides an early look at the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV 1LT, highlighting its value proposition as a more affordable entry into electric ve... morehicle ownership. Key positives include the updated aggressive front-end design with split headlights and blacked-out bowtie, the instantaneous acceleration from its 200 horsepower motor, and the modern digital interior featuring an 8-inch digital cluster and a 10.2-inch infotainment screen with standard wireless Apple CarPlay. The reviewer appreciates the practical cargo space, comparable to a Subaru Crosstrek, and the generous rear legroom. However, the 1LT trim lacks premium features like heated seats, leather upholstery, a sunroof, and advanced safety systems found in higher trims. The reviewer also expresses dissatisfaction with the 17-inch silver-painted wheels, considering them plain. A significant drawback discussed is the slow charging time on a standard 120V outlet (two days for a full charge), emphasizing the need for a Level 2 charger. While acknowledging the compact cabin size compared to larger vehicles, the reviewer concludes that the Bolt EUV offers a compelling package of modern tech and EV benefits for its price point, especially for first-time EV buyers. less
