Fun to see the NY State charger outside of Binghamton. My family used to stop there several times per year on our way from Bucks County, PA to Colgate U in Hamilton, NY. No chargers then, but great to see that they are there. Also, I live only a few miles from the Willow Grove charge location...

Sorry to hear about this complete screw up. You may have recourse, by way of your insurance company. If the damages exceed your deductible, and the insurance company has to pay, they will usually attempt to recover from the responsible party. It's not the best way to do things, because you will...

The reason for the drop off was the fact that people will have to wait over a year for their Federal Tax rebates...

Just passing along that Bolts are appearing on Philadelphia area dealer lots right now. I have seen 2 Bolts on the local roads the last couple of days and am seeing new Bolt EV's(Premier models)on some local dealers' lots. Cannot speculate on any kind of wheeling and dealing that might be...

Interesting posting, thanks very much for it. It got me thinking about where the Bolt EV might fit into my plans, especially considering the lack of charging on trips outside of my immediate area. To that end, our son used to attend college in central NY. From our home in suburban Philadelphia...

Thanks for mentioning your heights. Upon first glance at the first photo, the Bolt EV looks like a go-kart. I actually thought that this was trick photography or the result of some strange angles while taking the shot. Did you or anyone of your party actually buy/lease? In addition, since I...

Completely agree. Watched it last night and his biggest complaint in regards to the car's usability involves the crappy QC network. There were other minor issues, typical for any car, things that may or may not matter to the next guy. But as everyone on this forum has been aware of, GM's refusal...

This post actually looks like a click bait/spam entry.

Being a Ferrengi does have its (financial)advantages, but you don't have to be the Grand Nagus either...

The Bolt EV is going for upwards of $46,000 so I wonder what might make the M3 so much more expensive? Yes, I know that it almost certainly has a much wider range of options, but the Bolt is ending up $11,000 over the supposed base price of the M3. My sense is that a very large number of M3...

Understood, and agree. However, I think that I was taken aback by the cost, when I recalled seeing all of the posts about the cost expected of the Tesla Model 3. I would assume that $46,000 will also get you a nicely loaded M3, if/when it is actually available. It was my(mistaken)impression...

I congratulate you on your purchase(I am admittedly jealous) but I have to say "WOW!" $46,000 is hardly an affordable family car price. The $7500 Federal Tax rebate helps as does the $2500 CA rebate. But even then the car is $36,000. These cars are going to have to come down in price if they are...

This is a silly article, for the reasons already posted. However, the car itself is an excellent effort. Bjorn Nyland's YouTube videos from Norway do justice to the car. It is no joke and yes, Hyundai did a nice job with it. They have acknowledged it needs 200 miles range to be a real...

Duc: You make some interesting and valid points, although to some degree I disagree with you. The Tesla M3 will start out at a lower cost, but will easily come in at a good deal more than a top of the line Bolt(if M3 is fully equipped). Nothing wrong with that at all, in fact it is great to be...

Not having a Tesla(and never having even sat inside one)I had not spent a whole lot of time perusing Tesla videos on You Tube. However, with some unexpected free time at home, and bored at the time, I decided to check out some Tesla videos. After watching a number of well made videos extolling...
