I think we're actually in
I think we're actually in broad agreement, with the sticking point being whether or not it's reasonable to compare the Bolt with models that didn't exist when it was designed. On items like the charging profile, that's fair. GM tailored the BMS to the available infrastructure and I don't blame them for erring on the side of battery conservation.
On the subject of software updates, I think GM is definitely lacking... but only in comparison to Tesla. The fact that the vehicle is capable of receiving updates but hasn't bumped the 2017 model displays to the more intuitive 2019 screens (set charge limit by %, refined energy usage screens, that kind of thing) is a minor quibble, but it's something GM could fix easily, even without a refresh. That said, I do think they're positioning for a 2020 update. By this time last year they had told us what was coming for the 2019 Bolt. Radio silence on the 2020 so far, which I hope is because they have some bigger news in store for us.
