This is so true. Road tripping in my Tesla vs my bolt is a night and day experience. I've basically stopped taking my Bolt on trips where the hotel doesn't have a charger (or only has a couple). If this is the state of things in CA it doesn't bode well for non-Tesla EVs until NACS adoption happens.

FWIW I'm in the same boat and have a lease ending in March, so I've been keeping track of the build year/month when people post issues.

First off, thanks for all the posts - it has been very helpful to read both positive and negative ones. Due to the uncertain timeline of our R1S delivery, we leased a bolt which ends lease end of March. Our delivery estimate, however, is Sep-Oct. Does anyone have any experience with delaying...
