Thanks for the update.
For me personally, no Ultium is a deal-breaker. I like the peace of mind for upgradability and repairability.

I went to the live Chevy online presentation yesterday afternoon. The Equinox presenter and Ultium rep mentioned that no upgrade or repair can be done to this battery as it will void the warranty. I am not sure if they were referring to unauthorized repair/upgrade which I have no intention of doing or that by design it is not upgradeable or repairable. They only mentioned that if the battery has a defective component it will be replaced.Thanks for the update.

They were talking about Unauthorized 3rd party repairs. I think GM reps have prepared statements for general questions and some of us who ask more targeted and specific questions will not get the answers we want.I went to the live Chevy online presentation yesterday afternoon.

Already did that.If gas prices begin to surge and the current low price of a Bolt, do you think that GM would ramp up production in anticipation of increased demand?
It's 'Regional Market Adjustment'.

I dunno... I feel it really depends on what question they were answering. Shade tree "upgrade" stuffing modules in without proper tools and expecting no consequence to warranty needs a VERY different answer than late- or out of warranty repair at an authorized service shop and using a different generation of module than was originally installed but with proper process and programming. And the latter is all I'm expecting (and hoping for) from what GM's said so far.The Equinox presenter and Ultium rep are doing GM a disservice and dissing one of the advantages of the Ultium platform. They must be quoting from a bad script or are simply ignorant.
And that's how they should answer hellos, rather than a blanket, "nope, can't be done". Chevy dealers can do it, but not intended for DIY replacements.I dunno...
