Chevy needs to get their battery fire issues under control. They've had so many recalls and disasters I doubt anyone is going to rush to buy a Chevy ev

My battery was replaced. It was annoying but ultimately a free range upgrade. I would buy another Chevrolet EV, it's been a great car .

I hear the seats are terrible and they hurt you after a while. How do they hold up in long driving distances?

I think ultimately the car manufacturer has to take some blame for selling you a car with a faulty component, even if the component came from someone else. I’m not going to become an expert in automotive supply chains and figure out gazillions of different components that must be used to make the car.

Irrelevant. When MS Windows will get BSOD, nobody is going to blame company which wrote crappy device driver writing into protected kernel memory. Microsoft will get the blame.

If you are technical, you will blame and upgrade or remove the bad driver. If you aren’t technical, your technical friend will just tell you to get a Mac.
