We Don’t Need No Blazin’ Sparky Cars

[Weatherman2020]

Blazer, what an appropriate name for an EV!

While the EV might have been the first automobile, there was a reason as to why it didn’t last and was dropped in favor of the ICE.


General Motors has issued a stop-sale order for the all-electric Chevrolet Blazer. As previously reported, the model has been criticized for presenting reviewers with electrical problems. That’s not what you want to see from any vehicle and absolutely intolerable on an EV. Even worse is the fact that the Blazer EV uses the Ultium platform GM claims is about to underpin its future lineup.[…]

The Fast Lane Truck noted electrical problems with the GMC Hummer that made it un-drivable, requiring help from the dealership and a software flash. Meanwhile, both Edmundsand InsideEVs recounted similar problems with the Chevy Blazer EV.

Automotive News reported the stop-sale order was issued late on Friday, when people would be preoccupied with the holiday weekend. “We’re aware that a limited number of customers have experienced software-related quality issues with their Blazer EV. Customer satisfaction is our priority and as such, we will take a brief pause on new deliveries,” stated Global VP of Chevrolet Scott Bell.

Those “quality issues” included repeat crashing of infotainment systems and problems charging. InsideEVs said it received feedback from readers claiming that they had likewise endured issues with Ultium-based products — including the Chevrolet Blazer EV, GMC Hummer, and Cadillac Lyriq.

Don't get them wet either, or they will explode. They are the Gremlins of the automobile industry.

Looks like the EV industry done up and ran out of virtue-signalers to sell them to....I guess we should be glad we now know how many virtue-signalers there are.

EVs are a fool's errand. The grid can't handle it and their not as environmental friendly as the left claims

I don't know about anyone else, but the idea of tooling around with a 4,000 pound incendiary device strapped to my ass doesn't sound like a fun time.

Ok? Who cares? They aren't even sold in the US. All cars sold in the US must pass US federal safety tests.
