There’s always a genius in the comments who’s convinced they’re getting some “alpha” by indefinitely postponing battery replacement.

You’re ignoring the fact that your insurance will account for willful negligence of recalls, you’re missing out on 8% more range now, you you’re missing out on a slightly faster charging curve, you’re holding up the replacement process for other Bolt owners… just stop lying to yourself.



I didn't say I was going to delay it forever - especially because I am not putting enough miles on the car during the pandemic and no regular car commute to achieve the "alpha" you describe.

I'll probably take care of it before the end of the calendar year - and I think I've benefited from learning from the early adopters of the battery swap; especially around some reported instances of coolant not being adequately taken care of after the swap and even more issues resulting from it. I at least know of one thing to keep an eye out for after the swap happens.
