They were thinking wheel motors and transmission replacements over the week, and they said they'd (try to) have some concrete plan of action by this evening. In the meantime they lent me a brand new truck for the duration until they get Ruby sorted out, so this might be a long haul waiting for a fix!
I love the Volt, but this is the second one I've owned and I've had issues with both even though I've absolutely babied both of them. The first one they replaced the entire traction battery under warranty, and this one is only a year old and is already having issues.

Many times the dealer doesn’t have a clue, shorts, broken cables, bad sensors and even an air bubbles have been misdiagnosed driven thousands of dollars of unnecessary repairs .
Unfortunately besides a couple resources the dealership experience is a crap shoot
I recommend joining diy Chevy volt repair and mod group on Facebook.
