Happy to sit out the first model year. My 2019 BoltEV is a solid vehicle, and the Blazer had me interested in an upgrade, but not so much anymore.

Yeah? Glad they paid more attention when they assembled yours. Our 23 Suburban came from the factory with a misaligned steering wheel, improperly sealed passenger rear door by the robot, a broken interior door panel on the drivers rear door, random electrical gremlins that move the mirrors when it feels like it, it sees ghosts in the backup camera and freaks out, like they almost couldnt have made a worse car and they laugh everytime someone pays $70,000 for it. At least our engine has not blown up in the 35,xxx miles it's had in its first year.

Positive side, it is an absolute monster in the snow with blizzak tires. It runs I-70 during the winter for airport transportation and it has never had issues with snow.

Perhaps next time you will consider not buying an obnoxious vehicle which makes everyone on the road less safe?

While I don't like the monstrous vehicles the US produces either, that's very irrelevant to this discussion

GM isn't capable of continuing to make a good car that isn't a truck or the corvette. Once they find something good they have to kill it or somehow make it awful.

Such a solid vehicle that it had two software updates for its battery, followed by a complete battery replacement.

Those things didn't impact me beyond an afternoon in the shop getting work done in warranty.
