Comments
Having a single zone climate control has always been a dealbreaker for me- me and my wife have disparate needs there…
But I find it odd that all the listings almost make a big deal itemizing that it has a “Single-zone automatic air conditioning and climate control”. It doesn’t make sense that this would be called out as a feature since its well, like saying “Includes 4 wheels”. Seems odd.
I can only speculate that this means we will see an option package in the not-so-distant future for a dual-zone automatic climate control?
I am not a small car fan but as small as the bolt is would there be a noticeably difference in temp from one side to the other ???
My 2015 VW e-Golf EV has the dual climate controls and it makes a difference, even for a small car.
The Driver Confidence II Package, should be standard safety equipment on all cars sold today. Like the first airbags, car makers wanted to make them top tier options. I’ll wait until they are standard equipment. This technology is a proven life saver just as Airbags, ABS & Traction control are.
Chevy should be a leader in making this life saving technology standard.
Just saying….
Yep, the “The Driver Confidence II Package” being an add on, especially one locked behind the useless to me infotainment package is very disappointing.
Thank you; please stop talking about this car, and get it out to the public, please! solar Jim
They forgot an option, IIRC, it’s RPO CB0? It the DCFC CCS capability to permit 30 minute charging. It is listed in the Fleet Guide.
I live in Mich. How can I get one before the end of this year???? Help!
