So they got a lemon and decided to write an article about it... definitely not intended to cause more EV hesitation, of course not.

It should be noted that this car does not yet qualify for Lemon status and qualifying for lemon status is actually harder than the average person would casually think in most US states. So it's actually entirely fair that they wrote the article, as they do with every car in their long term test fleet. Manufacturers use all sorts of tactics to hide real world reliability data, if you're looking to them to source it you're buying your rat poison from the rat company.

IMO, it's a chevy issue more than an EV issue. We have a 23 Suburban for work that you can tell they gave zero fucks when assembling.

Yeah, seems like everything is going that way recently.

It's Edmunds, not GasCarsOnly.com. They're just reporting on their cars. All those Alfas that everyone bashed a few years back wasn't to try to convince people not to buy gas cars, just not to buy the Alfa.

Same here. You shouldn't give GM a pass for their shit tier cars just because they're EV.
