Thanks Ed, Mike for the informative reply. I still don’t understand why GM doesn’t display on the screen and users manual (like my Tesla Y and Nissan Leaf) does to only charge to 80% most of the time for local trips. Seems like this would help their 100% when hot charging cell (rare) fires. I got a letter from Chevy saying that they were going to reduce the range to 80% (presumably over the OnStar air network). A month or so it appeared that I had less range on long trips but could be a placebo effect…. Anyway I’ll check the link you recommended on the battery replacement status. Sounds like they’re replacing the whole battery pack and not just individual cells since they can’t determine the cell shorting problem without destroying it. My 21’ Tesla Y has 50K miles and no issues so far (except annoying display over the air tweaks) contrary to Consumer Reports last month black eye on reliability. They put the Ford Mach E (mustang) at the top (for reliability) this time but EPA gave it a low efficiency rating (along with the VW). Not sure why some EV manufacturers don’t spend more time in the wind tunnel… Stay Charged (on solar power), Mark
