Ever since we purchased our Chevy Volt (sister car to this one) it has been nothing but trouble. I plan to do a follow-up review soon. The charge door mechanism is electronic on the 2012/2013 model Chevy Volt and broken 3 times in the first year of ownership and 3 more times over the last 2 years. Both Chevy (GM) and the dealership I purchased the car from admit the charge door assembly is defective and all they can do is keep replacing it until the warranty expires because GM isn't going to fix the part for the older cars and only fixed it on the 2014+ models by removing the electronic components and making it a manual door. If you own a Chevy Volt and experience this same problem please contact me at BarnaculesManCave@gmail.com immediately and let me know about your experience. Also if you own any other Chevy vehicle like this Cadillac ELR and have experienced problems please contact me and tell me about them.
Page One Auto and GM loaned me a Cadillac ELR to conduct my very first nerdy car review! I really was sad when they took the car back because I fell in love with it. I can't wait to review my next car!
This was my first car review and I learned a lot. Unfortunately audio issues and some other technical issues rendered a lot of the DirtFish footage unusable but I'm still happy with how the review turned out and hope you enjoyed it! Can't wait to do my next review!

Fun Fact - Did you guys know this is the video Graham Laing (Volair Media) and I first met? It's also the first time Xaqaria helped me with a project. I've met so many great friends doing this CZcams career đ
I already miss the car horribly. It's amazing how much you get used to a car just driving it for a week :D I got in the STI and was looking for the 'ON' button :P
It makes me really happy that you have a sti :D
ill go for 2015 audi sq5
+Barnacules Nerdgasm You should try the Tesla Model S, Just kidding, It cost more than 100k USD.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm I love the Cadillac car but gas versions still beats it for power, driving distance and ease of refueling and cheaper too. The sound of power isn't included in the electric version.

what kind of real world mpg(e) did you get?
Dude, very cool! Congrats on a great review!
Thanks David Di Franco, I can't wait to review my next car I had a lot of fun. But I learned so much from this review. The biggest lesson is shooting out doors and on location is a whole different beast with much more to contend with then shooting in the Nerd Cave. I had to throw away a shocking amount of video due to audio and video technical problems because I just didn't have the right equipment to combat the outdoors (Wind, Sun, etc).
Hunter Pence !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
David! God I love the tech corner of youtube. What a massively small world =)
It is a cool car , but it doesn't have enough safety. I'm correct. I'm dead serious.
well it just shows that tech is not the only thing that can be sent to a person for him to review it looks like a awsome car and the review with the camera is just next level stuff so BIG thumbs up to jerry for love it man and hope in the future david i hope you get to do a car review thank you guys :)
I'm happy to see you producing different types of videos man, especially one as well produced as this. Great job!
I don't watch a ton of car reviews but this is by far the best one I have ever seen! Very informative and entertaining and that car is amazing. Definitely would like to own a electric car one day (for less than $75,000 though). Love the camera work as well. Great job, Jerry!
Thank you so much!
Wow this is an awesome review well done!
Wow, thanks man!
This honestly blew my mind! I didn't expect the video would come out this nice! I really hope you get more opportunities like this in the future! Great video as always! Barnacules Nerdgasm
Thank you, I put a lot of work into the editing and filming on this video an despite all of the technical problems I just kept on shooting until I had enough to make a great video! I had to go back for b-roll 4 separate times :D But I'm passionate about this stuff!
Barnacules Nerdgasm I can tell! Definitely took you a good while to edit and it really shows!
***** Wow...I'm subscribed to you. I never expected you to be here.
Diamonddozen Well thats awesome man! Thanks for supporting me it really means so much to me.
This is the best ELR review I have seen. Good work.
Loved this review! You're one of my favorite CZcamsrs and I love cars, perfect mix.
+woodzy jr I would reply to you but you don't have Google+ so it won't let me reply.
Barnacules Nerdgasm Dude amazing review. I've watched many reviews on cars and yours is the best so far! any tips for my channel sorry to bother with that honestly..
***** a 3D chess set would be sick
Woodzy jr ....australia ?? hahaha nice to see you here to. - ekb -
You can tell that jerry hasn't been in a more expensive car before :P
Especially the model s :P
I really enjoyed the way you did this review. You didn't try to make it look like a commercial and you weren't just spewing out random facts. You just spoke from personal experience and highlighted the good and the bad. I hope you continue to do more reviews like this in the future.
Wow, this was actually a very professional and simple yet great review. I never really looked up to Cadillacs but now I am actually very interested in the ELR.
Same place where the last episode of Roadkill was filmed for those Motor Trend fans like me :D
Yup!
Awesome review man! Maybe when you hit 1million subscribers Bugatti will let you borrow a Veyron........
#FingersCrossed
Man time flys when you're so entertained. Good video!
This channel is quickly becoming my favorite channel on CZcams!
I think you need to pay a visit to the North America International Auto Show in Detroit this coming January! Most car releases of any other event due to the Big 3 being based in none other than, Detroit.
That would be awesome!
Barnacules Nerdgasm yeah you should come over to detroit for the auto show, its really frickin cool!
Yea its amazing id meet your there for an autograph lol
Oh best of all tickets are only $15 and less for general admission on normal days. But obviously you would be spending more since you don't live here.
Dude i would buy you and your family tickets and treat you to Lunch at greektown casino its a blast man
Can this run Crysis?
No, tried and it said it had insufficient memory :P
Barnacules Nerdgasm Pfft, it can't even download more Ram? Pass.
Made my day
Best Cadillac review video I've ever seen, ever. Best car review video I've seen in a long long time!
Now that was one impressive review, The aerial footage was a nice touch. Good job Jerry!
Am i the only one who says "IT'S TIME FOR NERDGASM" with Jerry at the beginning of the branding intro? Anyone? Just me? okay.
I hope not, I hope everyone does! :P
Still faster than a Honda
Depends on the Honda :P
Barnacules Nerdgasm Tru but when ever I think about Honda, the community usually Rices them out and give them a bad name. Can't tell if its my neighbors lawnmower or his car. Didn't you own a Subi?
Revy I have a Subaru STI that is my daily driver. I love it! But I know what you mean about riced out Honda's :D But I do have a friend that has a very fast 2 door coupe civic with over 200hp and it really moves!
Have you done mods under the hood?
Barnacules Nerdgasm Didn't Road Kill do their latest episode at that rally school?
Glad I watched all the way to the end, seeing you climb in the trunk was absolutely classic.
I'm 16 and I couldn't get anything like this for while but u somehow kept my interest thru the entire video! Greatjob
One of the most entertaining car reviews I've seen!
Awesome review! Nice editing and camera angles. I love your videos!
Great shots with the drone. Onest, funny, keep up the good work and give us more quality content. Respect to you sir.
Dude, your production quality is growing! Much like! Keep it up.... MAN!
Jerry just wanted to say that you did a amazing job on this video. in my opinion this is the best video you have made to date keep the great work and keep the vids coming.
Really Great Car Review!
Great review. Great shots with the quad chopper! Really looked good. Editing was great as always also.
who else agrees he is a very good explainer?! love this guy!
I didn't expect a car review from you, but this was very high quality. You're really great at reviewing products. Hope to see more car reviews in the future!
This is a badass car review, ALL of them should be done like this. Barnacules you have the standard chap.
Love it jerry it feels like a quality review from a pro like you :D
Good review. It kept my attention unlike other car reviews
We need more car reviews from you! This was awesome! :D
Nice and professional Barnacules Nerdgasm , keep up the great work :)

That was one hell of a video Jerry. I love the very few overhead shots

Great review Barnacules well done, thats a really nice car, your videos are cool.
Amazing review of a car. I love cars and I love watching your videos so this is just awesome. Great work doing it 'cause it's not easy to review something like that Cadillac!
Wellp. Time to practice my programming and become a software engineer so i can buy this beautiful piece of work. Great review, Barnacules! I was so stoked all week for this review and was well worth the wait. Thumbs'd up!
Great review Jerry, hope to see more car reviews from you in the future, that was well done review.

Man you really are a funny guy, been watching your videos for sometime now and i hope everything works out for you brother!
Great review and editing !

Great review! And that "bird view" at the end was awesome! It reminds me starting sequence of Knight Rider! LOL
This is a really good review, cant wait to see more.
Nice barnacules :D I always love your videos ;D
That was a freakin' GREAT review! I am really considering purchasing one in the near future.
I am so glad to see this is an American car you are reviewing -- way to go GM and Barnacules! Quit sending all of your money overseas people!
Great car review! I love the way you review stuff
Really enjoyed this video. Hell if you can keep the cars rolling in with the manufacturers, keep doing it! Also love the DJI Parrot footage. House mate has one and they are great fun. Have been working on a wee vid that I'm going to upload soon!
Sorry did I say Parrot? I mean Phantom! I've been drinking so please excuse me...... :D
Good review on the car actually got me thinking about getting rid of my big 4x4 and moving to a electric car keep up the vids man your doing great
Comparable to any dedicated car reviewer! Fantastic sir
Excellent video as always, damn video y u only 20minutes long???
I could seriously watch you do review for hours!
Keep up the good work and hope for more car reviews
Cheers :)
Fantastic and quality review!! Good work ;)
Hey, I loved your review. It's really cool that you don't just focus on one topic. You do vlogs, reviews on more than just tech, but cars, those subscription boxes, and pretty much anything. It's like what I aspire to be... If only I could finish all my videos XD
great review Jerry, amazing job!
Great work Barnz! Fine job here.
Awesome video Jerry! I really enjoyed it !
Great job with the review. Amazing, really enjoyed it.
Awesome Review! I love your content :)
Well done Barnuclues. I'm a new sub, from Chris' channel. Really enjoyed your review and you of course. What a great guy.
Great review and also very funny, can't wait to see more
Awesome video. Nice car review informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Great Review ahha, u brought your own personality into it, which is awesome :D
Wow, I didn't know there was this much to EV/Hybrid vehicles. No one usually breaks it down so well. Thanks Jerry!
Sound affects made it beast, lol, nice vid jerry
Loved it Jerry. Far better and more fun than some of the 'professionals' that I have seen. Only wish now that this was available in the UK :P
I see you doing more car reviews in the future, Jerry.
Informative, entertaining, and not filled with technical jargon or catchphrases.
Manufacturers are going to be getting in touch with you, buddy...bet on it!
The drone angles were perfect!!!
Nice video Jerry, keep up the good work, i hope they will let you review other cars in the future
GREAT review Jerry!
i need to tell you this my brother is a recognize streamer of video games and stuff like that and i never like to watch video blogs or gaming stuff but my gf break up with me and just watching ur videos make me feel better >3 keep going man thank you
Amazing review! Love it!
Was having a bad day so i sat down to check CZcams and saw you released this video. Day still sucks but it doesn't suck as bad now
I am a massive car person and watch lots of car reviews. You're really good, Jerry. You do tech well and now car reviews. Good length to cover it all but you didn't talk a lot of rubbish. Well done, hopefully there's more to come! Also Roadkill! Shame you couldn't rally the ELR.
I'm on school iPad watching your video :) love the new video
Fantastic first car review my friend. Really enjoyed it.
best video Barnacules.
Sweet...keep it, Jerry, GM will never miss it! Finally, a car review that covered everything without being boring. Loved the sound effects. Typical Barnacules humor. Love it! But getting into the trunk...well, that was the icing on the cake!
Very cool heli camera footage! Great video!
