Have you ever gotten an OTA update from Chevy?

A year later, has there been any improvement I wonder?

Sweet! Nice explanation. Will try tonight and comment back results

Does the equinox EV RS trim have AC Seats? I thought they didn’t

I was comparing these two, but the VW stop sale decided for me.

Imcan confirm that the eqnx will precondition when choosing Tesla SC from google maps

VW are horrible at cars.. always will be

Complained about EA charger but didn't say what was wrong. What charge speed did you get a EA?

👍

Same with Blazer EV. It showed up in mine last week. BUT, I haven’t had the Google Maps update to add the Caution icon to report hazards/speed traps/etc. Routing to NACS enabled TSC sites didn’t work a few days ago for me either. I’ll keep trying though. Also just received my first system OTA, but it appears it was only an update to prep the system for future OTA updates 🥱😐

Hey! Would you happen to know what length the Chevy equinox ev cable is? And it it for a 120volt outlet?

When would you be using adaptive cruise and thus lane centering on a road that is NOT mapped for supercruise? I don't think people use adaptive cruise for around town driving. It would be pointless.

What a momentously hideous user experience. Truly truly horrible! On a tesla, plug in, walk away. Stop charging walk up, press button on charger, get in car and drive away. There are manual controls to start stop, both of which are one click from the home screen

So sad Elon is such a shat show. Because if Tesla was free of him I would dare to say… their cars are much much SIMPLER than that.

Does anyone know, if the "Ready By" and "Preferred Charged Time" are different which one wins? The time I charge does make a great difference in price ( 8 cents per KWH vs, 28 cents per KWH). I want to make sure it only charges at the preferred charged times. So if my "Preferred Charged Times" are between 10PM and 6PM. And the "Ready by: is set to 8:00AM. What happens? Thx! :-)

Have you seen similar throttling on the L2 charging side? I plugged my Equinox into my 9.6 kW L2 charger and it took 12 hours to go from 12% to 100% (had a long trip the next day). Today I charged from 53% to 85% and it took over 4 hours. In both cases the 40 A (9.6 kW) was throttled to 28 A (6.7 kW) around the 60-65% SOC area. That's so early. My 2023 Bolt EUV did this but was much later in SoC.

So GM places the charging port for the Silverado EV on the driver's side rear exactly like Tesla, so no issues charging on V3's. The short cable reaches perfectly and you only take up 1 parking slot just like Teslas. Yet, a good number of people tow with their trucks, so they would have to unhitch to charge. Why not place it on the passenger's side right? But on other GM EV's (which generally don't tow), they placed the port on the driver's side left, requiring taking up 2 parking spots on V3's. Can someone explain all that logic that to me?

The good news is when I spoke with a Tesla Energy tech that was commissioning the 20 stall v3 Magic Dock site is the current v3 dispenser footprint is the same as the v3+/v4. The only difference is that they’ll need to run an additional communication cable for the on post payment terminal if required by law. For the most part is the v3 dispensers is considered obsolete unless it was approved bill of materials prior 2024 during the permitting process. There’s a 40 stall site that’s in the process of being built outside of Tampa International Airport (TPA) that’ll have v3+/v4 posts. Also 24 Level 2 destination charging spots to boot.

That button has been an OnStar error for months in my Blazer EV 😂

I’ve always found the multiple models and multiple packages thing very confusing. My Tesla Model RWD didn’t have any options other than paint color, interior seats and trim color, and wheel size. That works better for me.

The my gm/my Chevrolet mobile apps are garbage! The charging/charge management section of the does NOT refresh/update on its own, the user has to log out and log back in each time

Good commentary, glad to see it’s working well for you and other GM EV owners. Driver’s rear, driver’s rear, driver’s rear. @GM, when you design your next EV, put the charge port on the driver’s rear end please (Silverado EV for example). Easier to utilize without screwing up the rhythm of people who want to use Tesla chargers. As we move fwd, these particular locations are just going to get busier and busier.

Don't move here! It was great in the 90s but it sucks now. HTH!

The chevy looks a lot better in and out. That is the one I got after comparing both for a week.

If you have time and/info, a video on possible switch from Google account for different drivers, if I'm driving if Spotify can switch accounts or how to play others music. Etc

Great overview. Loved seeing the roof of my old workplace and the Twsn Sheraton building...

we are considering an equinox as a commuter car and short trip car as any long trips would be taken with my truck and camper but its nice to see the actual costs of charging. everywhere i have looked i usually see just what it costs per kwh and i am not a math person. also would probably be charging at work once a week with our short commute

Jeezus man, glue the dam handle in place and move on. Kinda whiney aren't we.

You want the adaptive cruise for the non adaptive cruise price. I want a Ferrari on a Vw budget.The thing uses a radar transmitter and receiver plus software and hardware to function.

Great information

I've heard horror stories here about the I.D.4's software. At 12:39 you haven't (yet?) mentioned anything about software.

Can you show in video how to do it in the vehicle?

I can charge cheaper at home. I am just glad I have more options!

$199+ for the Tesla adapter seems a bit steep. Maybe I can wait till they install v4 superchargers?

I have free charging on my Cadillac Lyriq for 2 years In my 3rd year I can charge at home. Being able to use TESLA charging makes me feel much more comfortable about road trips.

He didn't mention the Tesla URBAN SuperChargers aka V1. They are a different type and only available to Teslas.

Great video, thank you!

I test drove that very car last year from the same dealership! Very nice ride for my first time. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to buy it at the time I was just curious. I ended up renting a model 3 from hertz for a few months and I’m definitely sold on Tesla now. Glad to see you’re enjoying it and it found a good home. Can’t wait to get my own in a few months hopefully.🤞

Can someone help me- I’m new to EVs but I just bought a Chevy equinox ev 2lt. I’m interested in taking a long road trip from Minnesota to Texas (1221 miles), when I enter this trip into my navigation on the cars computer screen it says it will take 24 hrs- is this pretty accurate? With the Tesla chargers available, will that shorten the trip having more access to faster chargers potentially? Normally this trip would take 17 hours in a gas powered vehicle for reference. Trying to get on a cruise ship so I wouldn’t want to be late obviously! Should I realistically plan 24 hours for this trip?

Which Tesla App are you using specifically here? When I looked at Apps on the store, there was only 1 App made by Tesla and it seemed like you had to own a Tesla vehicle to use it. Thanks in advance.

They opened up a 20 stall v3 Magic Dock site and it has been much needed just off the interstate exit. Compared to 3 miles for the 6 stall EA that’s usually full or you’re the next contestant of charger roulette. If my memory serves me correctly they’ll be building a 40 stall v3+/v4 just outside of the airport. The current 12 stall that’s a mile away always has a 5 minute wait time minimum.

Very informative video! Thanks so much!

How many km/miles you got so far?

On larger Tesla V3 sites 12+ as a quick quality of life improvement they should consider rotating the right most stall 180degrees. That way cord is a bit more than 1 foot closer to the 2nd most common non Tesla inlet location left front driver side fender. This would also make it less necessary to park strangely, depending on vehicle layout remark the lines a bit possibly saving a space. This has been done at ccs2 locations before as well. I figure possibly as much as 1/3 of sites are capable of doing this.

It would be great if you could do a video demonstrating the self parking feature.
