I just posted this info on reddit:
Did they specify that? I wouldn't be surprised if they gave priority to high-level employees.Apparently, there are some later model Bolts that GM has determined are at higher risk than earlier Bolts.
My replacement was built on Tuesday this week!!!!They have started Bolt EV/EUV production back up as well...wonder how that will affect replacements? Enouhgh batteries to go around ?

4) due to greater cell voltage differences across cells in the 2017-2019 batteries, those batteries more often had lower capacity than nominal when new, even before any capacity loss due to use or age.I think there are a lot of 2020+ drivers like @CHASBOLT. There is a lot more incentive for 2017-2019 owners because of 1) greater risk (although unclear how much), 2) existing batteries for those years have likely degraded more under normal use, and 3) greater capacity than when new.
They did 19,274 in Q1, and 11,722 in Q2. At the Q2 rate it'll be December 2024.Looks like about 20K battery replacements per quarter. At this rate they should be about done with the 2017-2019s in October, and then maybe finished with the 2020-2022s by summer 2023.
