Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

I test drove a Bolt before Covid. I found it extremely lacking, even compared to the Nissan Leaf.
I think it'll take some kind of economic incident like the Oil Crisis to get car companies to make nice, small, electric cars. All they seem to want to make now are SUVs, CUVs, and trucks.
I've really liked it. Has enough range for me, and android auto takes care of everything that isn't driving.
I got a 2023 Bolt EUV a few months ago and I love it. (I wanted the EV but I couldn't find any.)
I'm curious if disabling the OnStar stuff is as "simple" as it is in the 2019 models.
