Exactly. I'm sure there's something in the fine print in the owners manual saying its not covered in the warranty.

The Hummer EV is for early adopters and poseurs - and there's nothing wrong with that. For us mere mortals, the Silverado/Sierra EVs appear to give you much of the EV goodness of the Hummer but on a narrower track and with a midgate to overcome the tiny bed problem. And once they get through the loaded first editions, the Silverado/Sierra twins should be available at (somewhat) saner prices and option levels.

I have 120k on my Bolt, just did my first maintenance/repair, replaced a leaking seal on the drive unit, $12 part and my local shop did it in 15 minutes. I figured I'd change the drive unit fluid as it had 120k on it. The fluid was perfect, the rest of the car is perfect, I still have 8 years and 80 k warranty on the new battery upgrade GM just put in for free. No alternator, starter, sensors, exhaust, etc. Once my warranty is up I can easily replace charger, controller, etc myself, they're just boxes.

Regarding the remote mirror, it looks like they haven't changed it, my 2018 Sierra only does it if I hold the lock button down on the remote after I set it in the menu. Or maybe it's a glitch and it is supposed to do it every time. My wife's Mazda stows the mirrors automatically, which I prefer, although you need to be careful in the winter - if it's crusted over with ice it can get stuck.

Email GM about the mirrors and a hood release. Or a battery on off switch.

Of note it does exist a DCFC that works with a 240V split phase input. Delta makes a 25KW DCFC unit that works on a 125A 240V circuit (and costs roughly $5K). So you don't necessary need 3-phase for DCFC. That being said a 125A 240V circuit is still not practical for most residential installations.

Crab mod is oddly helpful in certain trailer parking situations.

Cold weather saps the range. My EV is a 2017 with 100 miles of range and I lose around 30% of my range between running the heater and cold temps outside. Keeping the battery conditioned using L2 charger at home mitigates the loss somewhat. For a daily driver, it's not really an issue since new EVs have well over 200 miles of range and will be topped off at home. For road tripping, depends on charging infrastructure, distance, and speed.
