Newer Volt. (see my sig.)
First gen is on hold since no-one has found anything to update. When we're able to read the tune from second gen Volt, the Volterado tune may change, but I can't imagine any major changes. Right now Volterado is stock Volt above around 3000 rpm, although below is modified 2017 Buick Encore. Other areas are one or the other, depending on what we liked better. Probably parts of second gen Volt might be incorporated into the tune, but again, I can't imagine the end result being much different from what we currently have.
One thing that has never worked properly is the electronic thermostat.
Higher temps yield better mileage. Second gen runs about 209F, yet, unless it's a hot day, first gen tends to run a lot cooler, well under 200, despite changes to the thermostat settings. Even Encore thermostat settings run cold on first gen Volts. Maybe we need the grill shutter to achieve that. Still, that will be one of the things to try.
So it's on hold, unless someone finds something to update and most of the current group consists of enthusiasts, not tuners.
