We’re not! And we don’t charge it (leave it plugged in) overnight either. Per GM’s recommendations… makes it difficult to get the charge up… gah.

"Buckle to drive" is there on several models to further nag the driver this year, and next year the feature will be further expanded... but HEY this all looks like 1974 all over again.

As of now it is just the teens...

GM will be telling Bolt owners who are concerned about parking in public places that it recommends keeping 50 feet from a parked Bolt to other cars in garages and lots, according to spokesman Dan Flores.

Tesla's prototype battery with 5 times more energy storage comes to life at Panasonic

Quote:
Tesla long promised big changes for its future batteries, and Panasonic hopes its latest prototype battery will deliver for the electric carmaker. On Monday, Automotive News reported on the Japanese company's new prototype battery created specifically for Tesla. It promises fives times more energy storage, which may increase ranges significantly.

In addition to more energy, the battery will cost 50% less to produce and help boost battery production at Panasonic "100-fold," by 2030, according to the report. These three elements could produce a game-changing battery pack for Tesla with a lower cost and more range at the core of EV adoption hurdles. Panasonic did not immediately return a request for comment and more information on the prototype battery. Tesla does not operate a public relations department to field requests for comment.
