From my 20+ years working for Chevy dealers I learned it was best to wait until the 3rd model year to buy a new GM model, my wife was wanting to replace her Cadillac CTS with a 2020 CT5 told her to just be patient, we got a 2022 3.0TT and it has been perfect, I like the Eray and have my sights on a 2026. I've never understood the first on the block mentality.

I wonder if these problems that are popping up with the E-Ray is the reason why there’s a delay in them being delivered from the factory?

@finwaydiddy1977 Ай бұрын

Great video. To be honest there are not a lot of erays out there so, GM had this problem on test cars and instead of fixing it they just waited to see how many people will have this problem. Imagine in the future when the warranty is out and this happens!!!! GM should do better. They always rush and probably don’t care about the eray. Their focus is on the Zora model and the next gen C9.

@lukewalker1051 Ай бұрын

They care. The Eray is incredibly complex. Statistically all failure modes can't be covered in the first year based upon time compression to develop and release the vehicle.

Welcome to the first model year of any car! I believe every Corvette model has had faulty components or systems that were discovered by their customers in the first year. "We're working on a solution" is terrible to hear since it could happen again to your car any day. The good news is that it doesn't incapacitate your car.

@doughooks7411 Ай бұрын

Hey Mike, I like the “interim” wheels on 3.0, and will be interested to see what the future brings for this build. Very nice of Darren to do that. I actually sort of like the ERay wheels, and mine was going to have those in black. As to the electric motor issue…I don’t know, man. Growing pains, I guess. For my personal situation, I am satisfied that I made the right decision in bypassing my ERay build as I anxiously await the C8ZR1. When I started seeing the dropping values of the C8Z06 as supply started ramping up and the delay of the ERay as the C8ZR1 seemed to be getting closer, it just made sense for me and where I am. No regrets here but excited about the ERay content and what more we will learn on the ZR1 in two weeks. Good stuff, Mike!

The speed limit sign disappeared and the note said that I needed a plan, which I had. I called Onstar and they helped get it fixed. I just got a new Chevy dually and have had it for less than the three weeks - exact same problem but this time, Onstar could only fix GPS. Now I have to deal with this at the dealer.

No. Chevy engineering likely don't even know the root cause of the failure. Maybe a design fault and not a manufacturing anomaly. As a Chevy Engineer, sometimes its a combination of both. When a design lacks robustness, its a veritable lottery as to when/if a replacement part will fail again. Eventually a design or metallurgy change will be made, part number will be rev'ed and next replacement should be more solid.
