Not sure how much of this is "news" (and the one every three days report is obviously wrong) but it feels a bit like we are being prepared for a token number of deliveries in December. Only 138 units complete as of the end of the November?

General Motors officials confirm the automaker’s hotly anticipated battery-electric vehicle with a perhaps revolutionary 238 miles (383 km) of range and $37,000 price tag will land under the rooftops of U.S. dealerships by the end of the year.
“Yes, we’re on target to do that,” says Yves Dontigny, production launch manager for the Bolt.
Exactly how many of the 5-passenger CUVs will be made available is unclear, but the assembly plant here cranks out one Bolt every three days with a 1-shift crew. They’ve been building salable units for roughly five weeks.
According to WardsAuto data, GM closed November with 138 units on Orion’s lot or in transit to the initial launch states of California and Oregon, where EV interest is highest and tailpipe-emissions regulations are the toughest.
