What can I do?
I have a Bolt on order, it has been produced and just waiting on delivery. Sales sent me the vin, is there anything I can/should do with the vin ahead of time? I used it to get an insurance quote anything else??
2023 Ice Blue 1LT Placed the order on 9/28, the order was accepted on 10/7, TPD was 10/31, it was produced on 11/1, shipped on 11/15, scheduled to arrive on 12/8...12/9...12/13...12/26...1/16...2/4...3/4...4/13...3/26 then actually showed up on 1/28!

Hi kentever1,
This isn't related to your VIN but ..
You may want to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet at your home .. ie: a 40A, 220V circuit for the 7.2kW EVSE charger that comes with your new Bolt EV .. or a bigger 60A, 220V dedicated circuit and a 11kW wall mounted maxed out home charger.
I don't know if this perk is still available from Chevrolet but it explains what you'll need:

(I had my home charger installed before my first pre-ordered EV arrived)

I actually already have this as I am driving a Spark EV now. Also i bought a EVSE that is adjustable so it can supply the max amps to my Spark EV then to the Bolt later. This was my master plan.

Re: What can I do?
kentever1, looks as though you successfully planned ahead for charging your new car!
Associated with buying a new car: when I approached two local Chevy dealers asking if I can order a Bolt/EUV now in the configuration I would like (without many of the add-ons that cars on the lots seem to have), for delivery in 2023 (to hopefully take advantage of the IRA) and whether I could lock the price in - they looked me in the eye and said they would mark it up at whatever the going rate is at the time of delivery. Needless to say, I walked away. So, the question I have for you is whether your purchase price is locked in?

I doubt it, the only this I have with the price on it is the workbench order that I approved.
