It has the original battery. GM is starting the battery recall with the 2019 model year. (There have been 19 battery fires globally and 12 were 2019 Bolts and 5 were 2017)
I'll drive on the original battery for as long as possible. My understanding is the 8 year / 100K mile warranty on the replacement battery starts from the date of replacement. GM will notify owners when they are eligible for the replacement.
I do have to look into tire kits for the Bolt. It doesn't have a spare and doesn't even have the air compressor / fix a flat that came with the Spark EV. The dealer did say you can get a spare kit for them and there is are foam cutouts in the rear hatch to hold the parts. For now it is covered by free On-Star towing but I need a long term solution.
I'll be looking into the PIDs for Torque but haven't yet. (I spend Friday - Monday in the plant for an equipment install)
I tried one-pedal driving a bit and found it odd. I don't see the point.
The paddle regen is strong but you can't modulate it - it is on or off. I'll have to experiment a bit and see if there is any real difference between using the paddle or brake pedal.
