IMO your concerns are spot on! All early owners will be Beta testers pure and simple. The only question in my mind is how capable / how fast will service departments be in fixing the issues that pop up. So far the KIA EV-6, VW ID-4, Ford MME, and a few others have had some pretty frustrating issues for their new owners to deal with. Some of these issues remedies are still a work in progress for the manufacturers. I see no reason to believe that the Blazer will be any different. I plan to wait at least 6 mo. to see how these early produced vehicles fare.
