General Motors hasn't kept its promise of offering the entry-level Chevy Equinox EV 1LT at around $30,000; the new price is $34,995, including destination.

I have a Bolt EUV currently and my only wants are faster charging, more range, and a little more space. AWD would be nice too. The Equinox fits the bill perfectly. That’s just a huge price increase to keep my supercruise, and other niceties, though.

      I don’t think so. I’ve got a '22 Bolt EUV with AA, but I dunno what they’ve done since then.

          GM says the Blazer EV will come with “standard connectivity that allows customers to access Google Maps and Google Assistant, at no additional cost, for eight years beginning at time of vehicle purchase.”

          Oh great. That just means they are gonna convert to paying for access at some point. Yay, more subscriptions!

            They’ve realized that we’ve realized that OnStar doesn’t do much more than what our cell phones do anyway.

      Android Auto and Android Automotive are very very different products that were disastrously named by Google.

      Android Automotive is an entire head unit platform that runs on your car without a phone. It’s the OEM platform for the head unit.

      Android Auto is, like CarPlay, a way to project your phone onto a car’s head unit. GM is canning the projection systems, but is migrating to Android Automotive as the platform to power their head units.
