Default The Chevy Bolt, the hottest car on the market

I'm no writing this as some weird thing that electric cars don't work. I'm just more wondering about what the possible marketing campaing could be.



Chevy Bolt - Hey do you mind not parking your car in front of my house.
Chevy Bolt - Looks nice in the distance
Chevy Bolt - From zero to inferno in 10 seconds.

Chevy Bolt - A salute to the past . . . A salute to the Pinto

General Motors on Wednesday recommended Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle owners parking in decks do so on the top floor or on an open level, at least 50 feet away from other vehicles, citing potential fire risks.

Quote:
The precaution would “reduce potential damage to structures and nearby vehicles in the rare event of a potential fire,” a company spokesman said in an email. GM sent a notice to consumers who had asked about parking issues, he added.
GM had previously asked owners to park Bolt vehicles outdoors, away from structures, and to not charge them overnight.
GM also urged owners to not leave Bolt EVs charging unattended, even if using a charging station in a parking deck. Bloomberg News reported the recommendation earlier.

Man, you just reminded me how annoyed I was that Roadkill was pulled off of youtube onto a paid service that no one uses.

I liked it enough to pay $5 once a year to binge each season through Amazon. No regrets!

Favorite episode was either Disgustang, or Stubby Bob wheely.

Uh… sorry about the burning Chevy Bolts. That sucks.

Costly mistake / cost of learning process.

I drove a Bolt for 6 months last year, and I really enjoyed it, great car for my needs.

With the troubles, somewhat glad the 6 month lease was all I had it for, but then again, they have had 15 issues out of about a million cars?
