There's no downside to the Bolt battery issue. People that bought in 2020 were huge winners.
Thanks! That's kind of what I was originally getting at. With an ICE you may not see a defect for years and then it suddenly pops up right after the warranty expires. But on an EV (especially with 100,000 waranties) a battery defect is either noticeable or it just isn't there.
