GM tells 50K Chevrolet Bolt EV owners to park outside due to fire risk

Seinfeld good-luck-with-all-that.gif
 
I saw that last night, apparently happening after a recall. For what they didn't say.
 
Some great comments, like this one .....


Goes 300 miles before needing a charge, takes 8 hours of charging to get to a full charge, most places do not have charging stations, and might start on fire if you charge it too much, all great selling points for dealers.
 
They sold 50,000 of those???
 
Generic Motors...They don't sweat on the details. A fool and their money are quickly departed if anyone would even buy one...cr8crshr/Bill:screwy::screwy::screwy::usflag::usflag::usflag:
 
I'd park it outside of the dealership while I wait for my money back.

Heavily promoted "pushed" praised to buy
even forced on US, by a previous 2009- Jan 2017 admin.
even gave huge tax insentives to buy, taxpayers funded

cost more to produce than they sold for
not a great business practice

the huge flop, after all 'said & done'
govt. subsidies & all

some people loved them too :screwy:
even promoted them on here

They (feds) have no business getting in the EV or car business
or pushing such things/crap, especially taxpayer-funded

Govt. picking winners & loser, unfortunately, they are losers,
more often than not

I'd agree with you if politics weren't involved. Government will dictate full electric.
They can mandate all they want, but if the technology isn't ready it won't matter - especially the infrastructure needed to support the cars isn't anywhere near ready.

Socialism has failed every time it's been tried in world history.
The same will befall it here, eventually.

I agree, well said. Capitalism is a great thing and when It's ready for mainstream big money will be ready. Now It's the cart before the horse. Who builds a house and then puts a basement under it. Just the way I see it.

8 hours to charge and you can’t charge it over night?
When you say it like that, I find myself asking how is this the consumers problem. Make them buy them back.
 
Yeah. Can’t charge it at night, can’t charge it while your at work. Charge it too much and it explodes. This just isn’t gonna work.
 
LA Sheriff dept (?) was selling their fleet of BMW EVs sometime last year, under 10k miles: ANOTHER waste of public money!!! Question is: HOW THE HELL YA SUPPOSE TO CHARGE EM WITH ROLLING BLACKOUTS due to poor generation availability due to greenie mandates???? :rolleyes:
