HOT permit came in the mail yesterday for Jan - March. Guess my GTI can identify as a hybrid now?

Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?
- Thread starter PrivatePilot
- Start date
Grrr.
This is not a new problem. Google "whompy wheels".

With all of the sensors being constantly recorded in Teslas, if the driver truly did abuse the vehicle and damage it, tesla should be easily able to bring up the date, time and gps coordinates of each blow (even moreso on a vehicle with 115 miles and they probably have video of the entire life of the vehicle). The fact that they don't shows they are being aholes.
I keep trying to consider a Tesla if I can afford it...but damn it...these articles just keep pushing me off.
DC fast-charging was optional on the early ones, then made standard later on. All of the facelift models 2022-2023 have it.
In 44,000 km, I've still only ever done two trips that needed DC fast-charging. As with all lithium batteries, they charge fastest when empty and slow down as they fill up. 50-ish kW when the battery is below half and is at reasonable temperature is pretty normal. At an OnRoute, half an hour ish while having a meal will get it from 20ish% to 65ish%. Beyond that, it really slows down, so it's better to do multiple shorter charging stops with the state-of-charge as low as you dare when you plug it in. I did Toronto to Ottawa and back, 950 km, in 16 hours which included three hours of the car sitting outside doing nothing at the job site, and that was last January. It's definitely not the best cross-country road-trip car ... but it will "do" it. For daily running around, charging up at home overnight, it has been great.
The facebook group is filled with posts from first-time EV owners who don't get it (and don't search).
"In summer when I bought the car, it was charging up to 240 miles, and now it's only charging up to 200. What's wrong with it?" (Nothing. It's winter. You're using the heater. You've installed winter tires. You're pushing through denser air. The battery isn't as effective when it's cold. And you're thinking in "miles" and the battery charges in "kilowatt-hours" ... how you make use of those kWh, varies depending on conditions.)
"At Electify America it was only charging at 20 kW. What's wrong?" (Q: what was your state of charge, and what was the temperature outside? "Uhhh I dunno." Probably nothing's wrong. The battery is probably either too full, or too cold, to accept more.)
Maybe I'll buy a Blazer, hmmm, maybe not.... looking to be a half baked product.
You would think they learned from the BOLT fiasco.
Still anxiously waiting to see multitudes of Ultiums in real world conditions..... time will tell if GM got it right.

All of those faults look like network-communication faults, i.e. canbus. The common element is the canbus gateway module or the network cable. It would be silly, but unsurprising, if all this was due to an unplugged network cable or power-supply cable, or an open-circuit in a harness connector because a wire didn't get inserted into the connector properly.
This sort of thing can happen on any modern vehicle. For that matter, it can happen in industrial automation, too. Been there, done that.

@Scuba Steve dont you have one of these on order? Any ETA yet?Maybe I'll buy a Blazer, hmmm, maybe not.... looking to be a half baked product.

If you check the blazer ev forums. A lot of ppl are having similar problems.
The sample listed above, GM sent an ev engineer and an ev specialist and they spent 2 weeks trying to figure things out, and I believe with little to no success
Looks to be a bigger problem, I doubt it's a one off thing.
Lastly and sadly, it's no secret honda and acura adopted this platform. With further GM collaboration on a 2027 model of some sort
All I can say, is I will be waiting for their proprietary in house ""e-Architecture" platform to make its way on to showroom floors before I take a leap.

Yeah the Ultium cars are not starting off well for GM and some of the issues seem to be from the new Google Ultifi system that replaces Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
These issues are making me look at a 2023 Bolt EUV as it's tried and true and includes Android Auto ... I'm not sure I wanna wait for the new Bolt on the same platform with no Android Auto. And chances are it'll be more expensive too.

The Honda Ultiums will have AA and Carplay.
I can't wait to see these cars in deeper depth to see how "different" they are to the GM counterparts. I wouldn't be surprised if Honda has the electronics sorted out. They seem to be more attentive to details in their designs.
2024 Honda Prologue Will Come with Apple CarPlay, Google built-in and Android Auto™
The first volume EV from Honda, the all-new 2024 Prologue SUV, will offer customers the latest digital services technology and features, with wireless Google built-in, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ compatibility.
