Jim Ellis did get in one Silver Bolt Premier for demo purposes. I posted a thread about it. Their dealership says now though, that their 15-car "allocation" that was for reservation holders putting $1000 down, will not arrive until possibly the end of the year!!! That's a big change from the...

For those people in Atlanta that want to test drive the Bolt, Jim Ellis Chevy has one demo unit on their lot! It's a silver Premier. I've been talking to a sales rep up there for weeks and she told me today that they just received this Premier model days ago for people to test drive. The car...

Jim Ellis has 15 Bolts coming in this month they said. All spoken for via reservation last year. They had called me last Summer about putting $1000 down to reserve a Bolt, but I didn't really think that they'd get them in any earlier than any other Georgia dealership so I passed. I asked a...

Cool video and thanks for sharing. Was that an orange Bolt in the background at about 1:18? The guy looked like he was cleaning it out or something. Maybe I worked too hard today and I'm seeing things......

Darn and I was headed to Pawn Stars :D

Thanks, but does that mean mine is number one of 7500? I've already seen posts where other people got them already so.... I just picked up the $8.95 Bolt on eBay. Free shipping and he ships from Georgia where I live. Thanks for posting that eBay info.

For the people that ordered the Bolt die cast from the GM store, what does the 1 of 7500 mean on the bottom of the cardboard box? Just curious.

Just curious, just before the lease was up, did Nissan offer to sell it to you for the $6500 off residual? I think that I could have purchased my $28,000, two year old 2013 "S" model Leaf for $8000! I turned it in instead, because I figured that I'd be losing my first battery bar soon and...

Now that's an accurate post on depreciation of the Leaf. My 2013 Leaf with QC had a MSRP of $28,000 I believe when I leased it. After my two-year lease was up, they offered it to me for $8000!!!

So you're ordering a Bolt from Maryland to be delivered out-of-state? I had a 2013 Leaf also. I can't wait to see how the Bolt and Leaf compare.

I welcome 160 myself. Funny that people were posting that in Atlanta and with the Leaf, they would wear parkas so they didn't have to use the heater! Of course these were the same drivers that were waxing their cars every weekend, so that they could get every last bit of mileage out of them.

Speaking of the Leaf; The ole Nissan Leaf. I had a 2013 "S" model that I drove practically for free for two years after the Fed and State tax kickbacks. I drove it to work and back each day, 35 round-trip on the Interstate (below Atlanta) and it would be flashing "Low battery" as I neared my...

I read in a Volt/Bolt forum, that an similar type orange would be available on the production Bolt. Excerpt from article; "The Orange shown on the Bolt EV at the Detroit Autoshow will not make it to production. However a similar Orange will be available on the production car. Apparently the...

Sadly I kept no data but, I drove my 2013 Leaf "S" wide open every day 80 to 90 mph on the Interstate, including jack rabbit starts from every traffic light while in town. The car was absolutely a blast to drive with the quickness and low center of gravity. Getting the $7500 plus $5000...

Not directed at me I know, but I can relate. My commute was only 45 miles I think and I could hardly do L1 for one month in the Winter, before I went L2. Also, traffic jams were no problem unless you had the heater on, as the guess-o-meter hardly moved. Detours were a problem for sure, like...
