I just got my L2 charger set up last week so I'm in good shape now in terms of being ABLE to charge as quickly as I need to. My main concern is just taking care of my battery, and whether losing 30-40% of my range is reasonable given the conditions (cold and highway driving), or whether I...

Maybe I'm just a nervous newbie (I've had the car less than a month, 874 miles), but I'm not feeling great about my range right now. After a reasonably cold week (but certainly not unusual in New York), my fully charged range is nowshowing 152 miles. I have a 52 mile (roundtrip) commute every...

Mine kicked in for the first time today, after having been parked outside all day in upper 20s/low 30s F temps - but just barely. It showed 0% when I started the car, but was showing 1% after a few miles.

Thanks! I got a Kinetic Blue LT, with DCFC, Driver Confidence I and Comfort/Convenience packages. I'm not sure the Driver Confidence package is really worth it, but I liked the color and they had one at a dealer that was convenient to my office. I then immediately went out of town for a week...

That's a great price! No trade-in or anything? I paid $36,000 for mine before taxes & fees MSRP $39890 (including destination) - Kinetic Blue LT, DCFC, Driver Confidence I, Comfort & Convenience, all-weather floor mats, and wheel locks (I couldn't care less about the wheel locks!) $9500 rebates...

Well, I decided to pull the trigger - on a purchase, not a lease. While it's easy to second-guess, my reasoning was: I can take the full tax credit now I didn't want the stress of worrying about some fine print I might have missed I don't like car shopping, and don't want to be "forced" to get...

Just got mine on Tuesday! Kinetic Blue LT - all good so far, though I'm still getting to know CarPlay. :?

That's a bit of an exaggeration, on all counts! I took mine on its inaugural "long distance" highway trip yesterday, around 158 miles round trip. It was not bad weather but definitely cold (around 30-35), and we were very judicious with heat, stuck to 65 mph via cruise control (definitely not...

I like the blue! Picking up mine tomorrow...

:lol: :lol:

I really don't want leather seats, so I have no interest in a Premier. So, which LT options are worth it? I am thinking my must-haves are: - DC Fast Charging capability - Comfort & Convenience package (I live in a cold climate so this seems to make sense from a battery/range standpoint, even...

Sorry, some of the context of my original post was missed when I quoted myself. The residual on the car is more like $22,500. The difference between out-of-pocket costs for buying versus leasing over 3 years was $17,500. So, *IF* I thought that I could sell the car for $17,500 after the 3...

Still curious about this.

Oh - for what it's worth - the one dealer that gave me a more detailed quote (rather than just a number) listed a "rebate" (separate from their discount, and the NYS incentive) of $4350. So that appears to be a good chunk of the federal tax credit that they are passing along.

Right - there is rent and sales tax (at least in NY). And the monthly rent is weird (at least to me!), because the add the residual back in and calculate the interest based on that inflated number. The salesman I was talking to last week did a reasonable job of walking me through how it works...

So, this week the story seems to be changing... all the dealers in my area are strongly pushing leases. I am finding it tough to compare apples to apples (some are including the $2000 NYS rebate in their quotes, others are not, and no one has provided the money factor), but I am now getting...

There are a lot of ads for Bolt leases in Rochester this week! Unfortunately, you probably wouldn't quite be able to drive it home without charging... ;) I hope they don't kill the tax credit, but I'm not optimistic. It's definitely pushing me to think hard about purchasing this year (maybe...

I believe DucRider is right. It is based on how much you owe. Whether you are due a refund or not is based on whether you have already paid more than you owe. If I owe $20000 in taxes for the year based on my tax bracket and other deductions, but I've already paid $21000 in withholding from my...

That would make sense if the battery isn't being warmed up while plugged in. Can you see if it is using more of the battery power for battery conditioning than you were seeing before? Great, that's what I was hoping. I have a feeling it will be be an adjustment for me moving from a stick shift...

That pretty much lines up with what I was calculating - but is this a known fact or something? I would expect them not to apply the whole thing, but I was surprised that it wasn't more. (and I was annoyed that I couldn't look at a piece of paper that would actually show me the math... :geek: )...
