And it wasn't even the Bolt EV's fault! Which I think is a great argument for autonomous driving - the computer saw the flashing yellow light and stopped, the human didnt :) From here:http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Self-driving-car-involved-in-SF-accident-10958654.php

Firstly, where are you located? If in California, have you contacted Capitol Chevy? They are the dealership that received truckloads yesterday.... not sure if all are spoken for.

I realized this is a dumb question - he's probably doing what all of us would do. Go out and drive in your brand new EV :)

That's great to hear that a Volt driver is satisfied with the Bolt EV! All of the negative press about the seats and some other small things had started to make me worried. Will you be posting a full review of the Bolt soon?

Yep it's true! Anyone on this forum from the Bay area? Maybe you'll be getting yours tomorrow!!!

I sent them a message via Twitter (actually also to the dealer in California - Boardwalk I think) and haven't heard back from either. That was yesterday morning..... Either they're inundated with requests, or it's not true and they're avoiding us? ;)

And remember that's US only - in Canada we get fast charging as standard equipment on both models. :D (now the real question is why did Chevy make this a Canada-only thing? Maybe because they tried to give more value since the price is high here because of poor exchange rate?)

Good to hear not all hope is lost and some dealerships are still interested in EVs!

This video has some interior shots near the end, but not sure which color scheme it is: http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6819#p6819

As I sit around thinking about the Bolt, and waiting for EPA numbers to be released and for pre-orders to open up, I think of things :) Here's my quick calculation on the profit that might be in the Bolt for Chevrolet.... Start with the price of a nicely optioned Chevy Sonic $20,000 Subtract...

I looked around and all I could find was this from Chevy's press release back in January: From what I can interpret, the electric motor is hooked to a gearbox that gears it 7.05 to 1 (every 7.05 times the electric motor rotates, the tires rotate 1 time). That's the only indication of gearing...

Must be more than that now with the pre-production testing happening!
