Well, the first "glitch" is how bluetooth works in any Subaru too - and it is kind of annoying that there's no easy way to tell it to just connect in pause mode and I'll hit play when I want to hear my podcast or music. I kind of assumed it's how Bluetooth worked in cars. I guess I'm saying this isn't EV specific - I've rarely seen a good review of car infotainment in the last 10 years, and TBH the only things I thought anyone liked was the carplay or android auto (not that I want either, I do just want charging and bluetooth but would love those to be less stupid).

The rest though just confirms my belief that GM makes pretty shoddy vehicles and I would never buy a new one again. My family got burned by GM products for decades before moving to Subaru in the aughts and haven't looked back till Subaru's lack of real EV options.

That said, it's not like Subaru's don't have faults - they do and they take forever to fix known manufacturing issues. It's just that so far they've never stranded any of us anywhere. We've always been able to get home or to a shop, whereas like in this article we're all to familiar with GM vehicles needing a tow randomly.

I had hoped (and been told) that GM improved their cars in the early 2010s but clearly not for EVs, and really - I already know where to get reliable ICE cars and that wasn't ever GM really either.
