Chevy has an EV Blazer? Man they really suck at marketing, because I've never heard of it.

Im pretty sure they spent the entire marketing budget by putting it on the Barbie movie

It was in the Barbie movie? Wow I only remember the super cute pink Vette.

Modern cars are the epitome of feature creep. They have overladen these machines with overly complex systems that are all cascading points of failure.

Yeah I'm pretty tired of all of the overly complicated crap crammed into cars. If it's not for safety and the convenience it adds is outweighed by the complexity and reduction in reliability/repairability, it shouldn't exist.

Just stop with the fucking "entertainment center" they tie it into fucking everything. People only need a shitty $60 wallmart head unit with Bluetooth support. Everything else can be dumb as rocks and SHOULD be dumb as rocks.

You mean you don't want a 48" x 12" touch screen replacing all of your buttons and controls? /s

I am an unabashed Chevy fan and it hurts to see them constantly fuck up every single thing they do in the EV space. Maybe they'll get the electric Silverado right :(

I wish Thinkpad made an EV.

The execs at Chevy really have no idea what they are doing. With the discontinuing of the Bolt and now this Blazer drama, they on track to make themselves obsolete in the next 5-10 years.

leading Chevrolet to put a stop-sale on the Blazer EV until it can get its software sorted out.

Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea!
