Searches on your two Bolt issues: uncomfortable seats, and the GoM (guessometer), I found the links below to explore. seats Uncomfortable Bolt seats seem a common topic on Bolt forum threads, as well as Volt pih seats also seem to be uncomfortable for some. https://www.google.com/search?q=chevy+%22bolt%22+seat+chafing+ribs http://gm-volt.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-285553.html A comment warned about using aftermarket seats, that incompatibility with air bags may have issues, etc. https://www.google.com/search?q=chevy+%22bolt%22+aftermarket+seat GoM I remember a previous Bolt news item that mentioned the GoM was more than just a calculator for KWh-used . That GM engineers made a special effort to include some predictive-guessing in their algorithm as well. Put simpler, if you were the only driver of the Bolt, it would learn/adjust to your driving style when giving its range left calculation results. If you read through the Bolt EV forum discussions on this, their comments tend to support: how the Bolt is driven, affects the range displayed. So, since you went for a test drive, we should assume many different types of drivers with just as many types of driving styles had affected the range calculations/readings on the Bolt you test drove (meaning the reading you got we not the best). https://www.google.com/search?q=chevy+%22bolt%22+range+gauge https://www.google.com/search?q=chevy+%22bolt%22+range+gauge+predict http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6804&sid=cc31bfd41d9feac138856c29ca2294c3 Perhaps a better test would be to have a Bolt to drive for a week, let it get to know your driving style, for the readings to have more accuracy, then then use those readings. But remember, a GoM is just that: a range meter that guesses what your range is.
