As someone who got out of a 19 Bolt through the buybacks after the first recall, good riddance. The software update limiting range to 90% was one thing, but with the second defect the suggestion is to avoid letting it go below 70 miles of range (~30% charge). That certainly takes a bite out of the usability of the car.

From the first recall the continual "the real fix will be out next month" got old really fast. Hopefully GM does better this time. Good luck to all the current Bolt owners, I'm happy I'm not in that group anymore.

I "predict" two strains of comments:

How this is way different from Tesla's batteries catching fire for some reason (Tesla's "obviously being worse")

Fight club was right all along!
