r/BlazerEV

We took a trip to the GTA last week, as well as about 3 hours north to a friend’s place.
3 times we lost route planning in the native Google Maps. It worked fine on my phone. During driving the route planning returned on its own.
The first time it happened I called OnStar. They tried a couple things which didn’t work, and then wanted to do a hard infotainment reset. Since I was charging while talking to them I told them no. So I just used my phone through EV Play. During the drive the route planning returned.
Anyone else have this happen to them?

GM agreed to buy back my current Blazer EV. I was looking at replacing it with a 2027, but I haven't seen any rough estimates for when they might start arriving.

Just went it for my 2yr inspection and they charged me about 400$ first for the inspection which was free last time I did it at 14k. Was there a difference in the inspections? The rotated the tires and changed the filter.

Anyone dealt with a rattle from the cargo area. Sounds like it’s coming from around the latch. I’ve checked all the storage area. Pulled the rear hatch panel and check everything there. No idea. It’s pretty loud and you don’t have to be hitting bumps to hear it. When we first got it there was a noise but it turned out to be the license plate flapping in the wind. It’s not that.

Anyone had this issue?

I was reading about Lucid's new Gravity GT-S today, and the performance numbers are honestly ridiculous—in a good way.

Over 1,000 horsepower.
0–60 mph in 3.1 seconds.
Three rows of seats.

A few years ago those specs would have described a hypercar. Now they're attached to something you could drive your kids to school in.

What really caught my attention isn't the horsepower itself. EVs have made huge power surprisingly easy to achieve thanks to instant torque. The bigger question is whether we're entering an era where manufacturers are chasing bigger numbers simply because they can.

Personally, I'd rather see companies compete on things like charging speed, efficiency, battery longevity and interior quality. Once you're already around 3 seconds to 60 mph, I'm not sure another few tenths actually change everyday driving.

That said, I think Lucid is doing something smart here. A halo performance model can make the entire lineup more desirable, even for buyers who will never purchase the GT-S.

So I'm curious where everyone stands on this.

Would you rather buy a 1,000+ hp electric SUV, or would you trade some performance for another 80–100 miles of range and a lower price?

(Just a vent post).

Pretty much every time I go into the App (I'm using the Buick one but it doesn't matter), I have to sign in again. Sometimes twice in a day. It's especially infuriating because my password manager doesn't get triggered for whatever reason so I have to open that app and search for the password . Then I have to open my 2FA app and copy the code from it. It's just a whole bunch of steps when you're walking around somewhere and want to check if your charging is done or whatever.

I have a 24 Equinox EV lease ending in 2 months. I’m considering buying a used Blazer EV to replace it. A problem I have with the equinox is that if it’s hot outside or I’ve driven it a lot, the fan runs for a long time to cool down after I’ve turned off the car. Sometimes the fan will turn to cool off when plug in to charge the car. Note, it’s not the AC fan but a battery or engine fan designed to cool off the car.

Also, is the blazer prone to phantom sudden braking aka it thinks there will be a collision and emergency brakes?

I’ve considered just getting another equinox but the fan is annoying, I dislike the windshield glare in sunny conditions, and I feel like the AC can barely keep up when it’s 100+ outside.

Well, I was hoping that somehow the gods were pleased with me and would spare me the telemetrics module replacement. Nope.

I've been having issues sending destinations from my phone to Google maps but was dealing with it. A few days ago super cruise stopped working. Yesterday I got a message saying to service emergency call or something to that effect. I tried rebooting radio, no dice. Onstar said to take to dealer.

15000 miles, 25 SS. Dealer is ordering module. We'll see how this goes.
