The Chevy Bolt is electric, but that's not the really good part

It feels just like any other car Though it's the first electric car that is both affordable and has a range over 200 miles, the Chevy Bolt is almost aggressively normal. Slipping into the driver's seat, it feels like any number of other cars I've driven.

    It's an intriguing car and as a current Chevy Volt driver on my list to check out. However, right now I'm aiming at the Model 3 as my next car, and there's one big reason: Customer Service and the broken dealership model.

    With the burgeoning success of the Gen 2 Volt, I had hoped that GM would start to get its dealers in order, especially the service departments, but I'm finding at least in my neck of the woods that's NOT the case.

    I took my 2016 Volt in for its first oil change last week at 37,000km (12,000 of those used gas) with the oil life indicator sitting at 15%. According to the manual, the oil should be changed when it reaches 10%.

    The Service tech, and then his supervisor BOTH berated me and tried to tell me that my warranty was now void. I had to call my Volt Advisor and get them to talk to him to NOT try to void my warranty...

    And that's all outside of the hassle I went through to purchase the car in the first place.

    Even if the Model 3 cost $10K more to get close to the same range, I'm still going that route. Besides, Tesla at least is investing in electric car infrastructure with their Super Charger network.
