There's only 1 "GM approved" device and given it requires about $1000 in hardware (MDI) and ~$2500 in annual software (GDS2) subscription costs it is likely out of the range of your average consumer....

This is incorrect. Their margins are about the same for any other $40,000 vehicle. However they have spent quite a bit on capitol investment (tools, equipment, parts) as well as training costs so...

This is true but keep in mind, this would be an "exhange only" price. You cannot buy the Volt battery "across the counter" at that price.

We discussed this on the other thread. You are NOT losing capacity.
You are simply making incorrect assumptions from this data

If you were losing significant capacity your range would be...

The passenger side DLC is not techncially designed to be fully OBD2 compliant. It is specific to the Volt and is present only to permit specific testing and reporgramming of specific (non-OBD2)...

DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) today announced first quarter net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.9 billion, or $0.58 per fully diluted share. These results include a net...

Did they identify a leak then? To have the condition degrade to the point of the DTC would lead me to believe there is might be one. Did they specifically say they removed the coolant leak inspection...

Here's some threads with additional good information on the advanced airbag systems used in the Volt:

The annunicator only lights up when a paired phone connects to the car.
Did you repair the phone after the reprogramming?
What year and radio do you have? Nav? MyLink?

I was referring to Teslas web page that lists the starting price for the 60kW version as $77,800
Is it incorrect?

I agree. Very nice car but nearly twice as much as a Volt. (I actually far prefered the Fiskar but alas they couldnt swim)

All good. Unfortunately you would be far from the first person that's seemingly well versed in hybrid/EV technology that seem to have a LOT of misconceptions regarding the technical details and...

This is where you are dead wrong.
Not sure where you have received your information on the older vs. newer BAS systems but I can assure you it is incorrect.
