> ok yeah the Bolt was quite good but they didn't bother launching it in my country (uk) so its not on my radar, and they didn't bother trying to sell any That's not really fair. You can't buy a Renault Zoe in my country (US), even though it is by most accounts a great electric car. I don't get to ignore their entire lineup, just because they don't happen to sell them here -- the world is bigger than any one particular country. The Bolt is quite good, it's highly competitive against modern EVs, and the only reason it's sold "at loss" is because they sell out instantly, and can't make more of them fast enough to fulfill all demand -- a problem they are actively trying to fix https://electrek.co/2018/07/03/gm-increasing-chevy-bolt-ev-production-demand/ https://electrek.co/2018/07/03/gm-increasing-chevy-bolt-ev-p...

Its not vapour ware no, but if you don't have an option to buy it... The parent said "so its not on my radar, and they didn't bother trying to sell any" which is true, and from my reading, fairly neutral.
