My water bottles don't fit in the standard cup holders - so I bought these:

I find this works well. I bought the two pack but wound up just using 1 and leaving the other cupholder as is.

I I think in previous cars I’ve had pieces of french fries live down there for years. 🤨

But without those fries how will you survive a stranding in bad weather?

Any way to extend the armrest? It is just not comfortable. More like an elbow rest.

I don't think this will make the armrest any longer, but It would protect the arm rest. Amazon Bolt 2023 arm rest protector

Yeah, such a design shortcoming (pun unintended but very appropriate).

I really miss the 360 dash cam coverage I had with my Tesla.
I’ll definitely be using a small Garmen for the front. Just too much trouble for my appetite for the back, unfortunately.

What model Garmin dash cam would you recommend?

Good one.
It seems they prioritized the cup holders over the armrest. The Prius has a very comfortable armrest long enough for your whole arm. The seats are ok for an hour and then get pretty hard. Hope they will break in. Anyway the Bolt is not for long distance driving (sorry to say) Love it for daily driving though.

This is my #1 wished for upgrade

I'm hoping someone crafty comes up with a whole new part that would make the entire top slightly longer toward the front -- even if it limited the height of the back cupholder, I'd take it ... and pay like hundreds of dollars for it.

I HATE the comfort situation on the armrest now -- my elbow lands on the front edge and it's wildly uncomfortable.

This one thing is singlehandedly making me not love my 2023 vs 2020 EV.

Absolutely! Or any 10mm wrench to keep in the car, just in case:

(Edited 11 days after this "incident"... My 2022 Bolt EVU I believe is too new to have a problem with the wee battery and having less than 2650 miles... As of today, 1-16-22, this problem has not occurred again. I am placing in bold text below what I did to correct this problem so I could drive...

I just got my center console tray, and it fits perfectly. Drops in and pulls out easily, and no problems closing the armrest. The divider layout is different from the other organizer mentioned earlier, though. The coin section is in the back, which means the front section is the right width for something I want to keep there. The larger middle section is perfect for my glasses case, a pen, and my 10mm wrench.

My only disappointment is with the color. It is actually black, while I was expecting balck.

Isn't that supposed to be like a chalky version.

You could ******* fix this with a piece of wood shaped to fit into the rear cup holder and tall enough to act as a rest extender. Shoot, you could put a cutesy little cushion on top if you know how to sew...

Only half-joking here.

So I'm relatively new here and see that the system censored the term r******k. Is that an offensive term?

I noticed the FIRST day I had my 2022 Bolt EUV that the fingerprints on the infotainment screen were just awful. Worse than any screen on any product I have ever owned. I purchased the screen protector linked below and it fits perfectly, nobody would ever know there is a screen protector on it. Fingerprints are MUCH, MUCH less. And you can easily clean it with a lint free cloth without have=ing to worry about scratching the factory glass.
