I just found your reviews of this and the Equinox EV today. Great, in depth reviews. And I think it's awesome that you're doing this from Houghton! I'm back living under the bridge where I came from but I went to Tech and I love the Keweenaw! It's great to see some familiar places in your videos but I can see the area has changed a bit too!
Thanks for the most detailed review I have seen yet showing the features of the Blazer RS EV. I just leased on a couple of days ago and researched it ahead of time but am still finding out new features.
Ok thanks! Best review ive s’en so far!!
I actually traded my Tesla Model Y for a Blazer EV RS AWD because I thought the Tesla was squirrels when driving at highway speeds. The Y was my second of that model and both had bad issues with navigation not knowing where it was and could not reset. Also, I think the Chevy is much better built, feels more solid, and has much less body squeaks and rattles. I agree with your assessment that ithe Blazer EV is very good over bumpy terrain. As far as the 0-60 time, I don't understand whey that is so important unless you are racing someone. Once you hit 60, it's the same speed in any car and you will get there at the same time.
0-60 can also have other benefits aside from just fun. Sometimes slamming on the breaks isn’t the answer to avoid a collision. The faster your car can accelerate, the faster you can get out of that situation. That’s why I still believe it should be evaluated even in non performance vehicles. You never know when you might need it.
You're testing out a rwd vehicle in the Keweenaw?
It’s not about which wheels are driven, it’s all about the tire… and the ability shut off Traction Control.
@@TheRandomAlphaDrive I think I'm going to pick mine up on Saturday. I actually seriously considered the RWD so I could get the Bose option. Major bummer that it isn't part of the standard RS package, and not even available in the RS eAWD. Makes no sense.
I went to Tech and lived in DHH for three years in the nineties... The cook in the DHH cafeteria, who lived in Hancock his whole life, never drove anything except extended cab, long box, rear wheel drive pickups. He insisted that's all he needed. And he must have been right because he never missed work in the dead of winter!
No auto up is a safety regulation.
It’s not actually. Typically you’ll find fully automatic windows in more expensive cars and the luxury car market. That includes the rear windows.
Why are you treating the Tesla Model Y as if it were the benchmark that all EV's are to be compared to?
That's all about how you think about such things because as you admit, its hardly the on of its type in the segment and as anyone who's looked at a Tesla knows, they're not vehicles that couldn't use more than their fair share of improvement (shoddy build quality - panel gaps aplenty - cheep seeming and feeling interiors, dangerous driver assistance technology, etc).
And as far as the frunk goes, you do know it has a roomy back way larger than any frunk, right?
A few pieces of advice for future videos.
Get a proper lapel microphone with filter. Your voice quality will vastly improve.
*CHECK YOUR SPELLING!!!* - Saw a couple errors that needed to be fixed. ( see time frame 5:02 for example- “Lauch” ) This is important if you want to be seen as a professional.
Annoying/Repetitive music - I know music is subjective but your choice is too heavy on the bass and repetitive. Best to not have it at all. It’s quite annoying.
Now onto a few corrections.
Yes there IS an motor under that useless plastic cover under the hood. Why they covered it…don’t know. Absolutely pointless though.
That Ultium EVSE can handle up to 11.7Kw….IF the EV supports it. Any GM EV 2022+ does support it.
The Ambiant Lighting is pathetic in this EV. The lights are tiny LEDS that are in the center of the vent “wheels”.
All in all it is a very in-depth review and you have an awful lot of potential. Keep it up. 👍🏻
And just so you know, it is impossible for that mobile EVSE to deliver 11 kW because of the 80% Rule. According to the 80% Rule within our building codes, any circuit running a continuous load past 3 hours (this includes charging an EV, even if you don’t allow it to charge for over 3 hours) must be capped at 80% of the circuit’s capacity. That EVSE comes with a NEMA 14-50 plug that supports up to 50 amps. The 80% rule limits that to 40 amps as a maximum for EV Charging. 240V x 40A = 9.6 kW. To get the full 11.5 kW, you will need to hardwire an EVSE to a 60A circuit. Last I checked, you can’t hardwire a mobile EVSE. That would make it no longer mobile, defeating the purpose of it.
I should have also confirmed the actual power rating of that EVSE. According to GM’s own website, that EVSE will deliver 7.7 kW to the car (32A after applying the 80% Rule).
Also there was no motor under the hood. My tester was the RWD model. Meaning a single motor in the rear and nothing up front.
I appreciate the feedback. I know my audio sucks, I just haven’t found a solution that works. I can’t seem to find any mic at a reasonable price that actually works! I’m actually surprised spell check didn’t pick up my spelling. Sorry about that.
And for the music, it’s not supposed to be important. I feel my videos need it, but I don’t want it the situation to be “Woah, this video only rocks but only because of the music!” I personally don’t think that track is the best, but I have yet to find another track that does the job better and it isn’t already used for my other channels.
bose system is supose to have a sub...do you saw a sub anywhere?
I never saw where in the vehicle it was located. But I definitely heard it! That's why I had to turn the volume done in that test or my ears would've been blown off!

Me. I love my LaCrosse!
YUH
Exactly the type of review channels I despise. Nitpicky,and lots of unnecessary complaining. Nobody cares that you have a personal bias again *gm.* Just review the cars for the people who _are_ interested in them, or *don’t.*
Too many young men, have grown up without a father around much. To show/advise them how to act like a MAN. Really not trying to insult. It isn't their fault. This dude is no different than most his age. But damn is it annoying!!
It’s hilarious that y’all think because someone is born a male that they have to be hyper masculine and macho. I guess you think women shouldn’t play sports either, huh? Or is it the typical double standard that females are allowed to be different while all males should behave exactly the same..?🤡

So in other words, you don’t want me to report the cons about a product. Yeah, not gonna happen dude. I wouldn’t be a fair reviewer if I didn’t point out the faults and the flaws.
Also, to make an unbiased review is impossible. Everyone, even reviewers have their preferences. I try to be transparent with my biases and preferences so the people who share them can factor that opinion in, or disregard it should they disagree with my preference.
If you’re looking for just a spec sheet or a feature list, then just go to the manufacturers website. You don’t need me to relay that. My job as a reviewer is to test the product and report my experience and findings. My apologies if you don’t like reviewers actually doing their jobs.
