Swanlee- I feel your pain, brother. TX has tax laws for leased cars that are similar to GA's. That means the monthly taxes on a base LT Bolt in Texas is 70 bucks - ouch. Also, CARB states get a bigger factory discount from GM because if they don't sell those cars in CARB states, they have...

Congrats! Those Cajun Red Premiers are great looking cars! So what do you think so far?

I wonder if it was detecting the key that was in the house when it locked? Or if this is a straight-up bug?

InsideEVs has a little more detail: http://insideevs.com/chevrolet-extends-shutdown-bolt-factory-inventory-hits-selling-days/ The factory is also making Sonics as well as Bolts and it looks like the huge drop in Sonic sales has a bigger impact on the factory shutdown rather than the Bolt...

I think a big part of this is the typical new model ramp up. The Bolt is just becoming available to order nation-wide. What did the first six month's of the first year's sales of the Prius, Volt and Leaf look like?

Even then, it might take a month or two for the inventory pool to level out. So if the Bolt because nationally available at the beginning of August, it might be Sept / Oct before we see the full sales potential. If we look at the sales chart for the first year of the Volt (which had a similar...

What did your wife think of the back seats?

Thanks! I can confirm that they had two Premier's in the Drive area and a Silver Premier in the show. I drove the Electric Blue twice. The front seat didn't bother me (5'11", 175, 34" waist, 32" inseam) and I like the leather on the seats. The back seat is a different story but that is...

Congrats! Good job on being willing to 'walk away'! So what are your initial impressions?

The link works for me. That installation looks great, I would never guess it wasn't factory. So does the extra padding actually cover the plastic side rail?

Thanks for the time and effort you put into your posts, comparisons, and reviews. I enjoy reading them! Also, mega-kudos on taking the high road here!

I see Chevy is has test drives on Saturday and Sunday. Does anyone know if the Bolt is going to be available to drive? Or if the Bolt is even going to be at the show?

+1 I actually think this is true of many new models but it is even more so for an entirely new line like the Bolt-EV. Still, it's amazing that we are only seeing a few bugs like the inconsistent seats and some of the infotainment issues. Do items like the panel gaps get better / tighter...

Great solve! Thanks for passing this along.

The new standard for a $37.5k EV is a min 200 mile range. The question is what car will become the $29.5k EV standard. The Ioniq looks like it has a shot.

Yep, I agree. That is a nice looking shade of blue! The Bolt has really started to grow on me. This could definitely be my next EV. I'm still pulling for Leaf 2.0 but if the Bolt just looks better...

But top speed was 20 mph...

Does this mean it will begin to hit the non-CARB states in early 2017? Or better yet, when we will start to see them in Texas? I want to test drive one! This, Leaf 2.0 and maybe the Smart Car are on my short list.
