@@WhirlinGraphics Thank-you sir! They get a little cheaper by the month. I plan to hold on to mine for as long as I can, but I do expect parts to become a problem, especially the unique suspension that the ELR has. They only made just shy of 3000 units.

Ok. I have 3 Volts - a 2012, a 2014, and a 2015...let's put that tune on mine too, and see which is fastest! My 2015 has the largest gen1 battery....would be very interesting!!!
It’s 2024 and I just watched this video. I’ve been thinking of buying a used 2017 or later. This car is still a real contender in today’s market, as far as I’m concerned. And, because I’ll be buying used, it’ll be much more affordable. Thanks for the video!

If I could tune the Chevy Volt with Gabes and Watch JR Goes I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and puff on the Cannabis Cigars with them and get all schmoked up.
Wish they went more in depth on what changed in the torque management. This could be fun to do, just wouldn't want to mess anything up. Mostly interested in unleashing more torque at lower speeds (which I assume the car is limiting by default)
Torque management doesn't do anything to the output power sadly, you need to use the internal gm reprogramming tool to get more power out of it. Right now people can get about 182kW out of them which is about 244HP
I have a 2017 Gen 2 and run the engine everyday. I bought it with 12000 miles on it and the previous owner ran all electric miles and didn't run the engine at all. I was worried but once I got it running it is like a new car at 90000 now. Wish I could reprogram it like you did. I hate 101. Lol
JR, a while back I was going through your videos trying to find the video where you and Gabe were opening boxes in the garage and you and Gabe kept pulling out bigger and bigger knives. Let me know if you remember the title of that video. That was epic.

I have a 2012 Volt that was bought outright with no payments. He got it in Oct., 2011 and everything was running great in Ontario until I moved to Edmonton, AB last Nov. 7th 2021 and during Christmas the air dropped to -35 and -42. After 10 years and 2 months the Charge Port broke down and it did not charge right. The 12 volt battery that runs all the electric inside froze and had to be replaced. Now I can get a full charge at 50 km ( before it was 45 ) and in Sport Mode my late dad had it going 148 km on the highway. Everything else is running good so far at just over 168,000 km in 10 years 9 months.
It's now out of warranty. It has as speed limiter and only let's you go so fast. So, let's see if we can break it by modifying it so we can go over that limit.
You can and other people did it years ago. You dont even need to put ELR software on it, just some additional tweaks in HP tuners. 148 MPH possible: instagram.com/p/Bm6-Xb5l-S9/?fbclid=IwAR0xDul7adb0JL2-7M7vu6ef3iFz26Rh9ZIrkY1Fgnwe5ILF_cUfZXNz8AU
So, can you set Sport as the default mode instead of Normal, or can you copy the map for Sport and apply the same values to Normal? That's the main thing I'd like to change on mine, to have the pedal mapping in Sport by default.

Gen 2's are a lot faster and are a great value currently. 7.5 sec 0-60 and 15.3 quarter. GM did a really good job with the 2nd gen Volts (2016-2019). Even have more battery capacity (53 miles / 18.4 kwh)
Congratulations on the "world record" Man i love my little cmax energi and wouldn't trade it for nothing assuming it continues to be bullet proof (2014 80k purchased last March with 66k and tires is the only major thing other than 1 oil change).

Tailwind and a very steep decline!
It's a hybrid, you can always add gas and drive some more.
"Mexico" is only about 6 miles away from Kansas according to the odometer.
Over 90,000 miles on my 2013 volt. Only problem we have ever had is the small 12 volt battery went bad. This prevented initial computer start up so Volt was unable to power up. Best most reliable car I have ever owned.

I noticed the battery drains really fast once you get over 75 on my Volt. The wind resistance starts eating battery charge more and more.
The wind resistance is exponential, so makes sense
The interesting thing is there's not a lot of mpg difference between 75 and 85.
Wind resistance is a function of velocity squared, rather than exponential
GABE! we missed you man.

You'd think they'd just accept it as a range extender and make it exempt.
@@boilerhousegarage Not in the state I live in. If it has an engine it must pass emissions.
I was told the Chevy volt should only have safety inspection and not emissions because it will not pass because of the hybrid set up

Hi
Nice video.
Do you know how to change the Chevy Volt's cruise control? Can it be activated from 0 mph rather than the standard 18 mph?
So, can you set Sport as the default mode instead of Normal, or can you copy the map for Sport and apply the same values to Normal? That's the main thing I'd like to change on mine, to have the pedal mapping in Sport by default.
