That's an amazing deal Dave! I bought a 2023 EUV about a month ago now, the first '23 my dealer sold. It's a Premier with the sunroof and super cruise. I'm loving the car; already took it on a longer 300 mile trip and used DC Fast Charging. I, like you, ceramic coated the car except I decided to DIY. Hopefully I knew what I was doing but so far it looks great. Also tinted the back windows at 25% and front at 80% for a "factory" SUV look. Keep us posted on your car.
I know, I have a buddy who has been looking for a Volt who would jump on that in a second, if it wasn't on the wrong side of the country. (we're in the PNW).
What I don’t accept is GM giving $6300 reduction and the dealerships in CA touting how great this price drop by GM, but then the dealership, the middleman in game, adds on a $5000 charge on the MSRP. Great, GM pats itself on the back giving the price reduction, and the middleman or person, takes it away. The same nonsense with BMW, $10,000 above MSRP, the same with KIA EV pricing $10,000 above MSRP and this greed seems to permeate the whole EV market. The only two EV manufacturers who stand by one price Tesla and Fisker. I can wait until to 2024 for my Fisker, no middleman dealership to deal with, price set at $30,000 for the Fisker Pear, and the same with my partner purchasing the Fisker Ocean One, $60,000+ and no markups.
Just bought a silver EUV LT Redline, my first EV ever. So far I love it and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had driving. Found your channel while searching for Bolt related questions and tips, and I really like your Bolt videos. Biggest drawback to the Bolt so far is OnStar Remote Access Plan is advertised as a standard feature on the MY23 Chevy Bolt site but OnStar claims otherwise.
I've been saying this - The Bolt EV and Bolt EUV ARE the "$25,000 Tesla" that everybody is waiting for - except they don't have to wait - It's here right now. An EV that you can get for less than $30,000 after all the tax, title and fee.
I appreciate this video. This great info for me when I soon will be leasing the Chevy bolt EV 2023. P.S: that’s a great deal in New Jersey. I live in Maryland so I know the state taxes gonna be high. lol
I just picked up my 3rd Bolt today. The 1st was a 2017 model which I bought in 2019 for 15000 dollars and GM bought it back from me in May of 2021 for the battery defects. With the money I got back, I bought a 2021 ev LT brand new on May 30, 2021 for 21,200. This car was again bought back by GM last week, again due to the battery recall. I loved my bolts as an uber driver for the past 3 years, which only required rotating and replacing tires as maintenance. I put about 4000 miles a month as an uber driver. I therefore with the 2023 discounts of 5900, 2000 off for being g an Uber driver, 500 dollars costco discounts and 3000 for a Chevy lease return, I purchased a 2024 Bbolt EUV LT Red Line package with leather seats and red stitching and 2 other packages for 26,134. With the 1000 dollar charger installation paid by GM and the 2024 7500 federal tax rebate, I believe it was a pretty good deal. What do you think. I ordered a glass screen protector for this screen.
Bought my 2022 EUV in July, and like you noticed from DAY 1 the fingerprints on the screen are horrible. Worst I have EVER seen on ANY electronic device. I don't know if I am allowed to post an Amazon link, but found a "screen protector" that fits EXACTLY on the screen and now get about 95% less fingerprints. Fits so well nobody would ever know it is on there.
Hi Dave. I just wanna tell you that because of your videos I was inspired to buy a Chevy bolt 2023 LT. I received it only a few days ago and it’s been wonderful but I do want to tell you an oddball thing that happened today. Normally you expect the charge to taper after 50% or 60% well it did going from 53 kilowatts per hour starting at 24% battery going down to about 35 kW per hour when it hits between 50% and 60%. Then it did the unusual. It jumped up by the time I stopped charging at 87% battery after about an hour and 10 minutes, the charger was hitting 43 kW per hour. This was at a relatively new charging station called park plus charge in Toronto there a small chain maybe four outlets and I was using the charge at 75 kW per hour. I have the pictures to prove this. I’m very happy and surprised by this as well. What I want to know is has Chevy done some kind of magic with their charger? Or is it this new charging station that’s responsible. I fully expected this vehicle to stay at 35 kW after tapering when it hit 50%. I didn’t expect it to jump back up to 43 kW per hour. Do you have any thoughts? I have the photos to prove it like I said.
Hay there Dave, I'm about to make a purchase on a 2023 Chevrolet Trail Blazer RS witch I've had on order since April 2022 , it finally came in as a 2023 model. Ide like your opinion on this automobile . I'm driving a 2016 Chevy Trax I've bought new and have 75,650 trouble free miles , my concerns are is this going to be a good reliable car? I'm still a gas powered man . Ide love your honest opinion . Thank you for your time .👍
Currently working on getting solar panels installed at my home. After that gets done, my next purchase is going to be a Bolt. From what you've said, and what I've read, it's perfect for my daily commute to work, groceries, and whatever situation I will need. Anything after that, I could rent, which will easily be budgeted with the setup. Can't wait to get my hands on one and tell the oil companies to suck it.
My 2020 Bolt EV Premier cost zero dollars total to lease for 3 years, 10k miles a year. I'm getting it swapped under the battery recall for a 2023 EUV Premier Redline and I'll be able to buy it out for the buyout price of the old car so I think I've got you beat on total cost of ownership. My buyout is 23k but you've got to take into account the 13k you paid to lease yours. Dealership employees only get a couple of hundred off sticker before incentives? And you still have to pay doc fees? That sucks! Schumacher should be hooking you up a little more than that, unless that extra 2k you were talking about were dealership dividends.
👍👍. Good video explaining how you managed your purchase. And I love the T-shirt ♥️. You got the steal of a century on your new purchase ... Definitely could never pass up an offer like that.
I have a question. I am interested in buying a used Bolt; however, I heard that GM is not keeping that model for the long term. Is that true ?? Also, is the government still giving discounts ?? I am in Florida .. Congratulations on your new car
I’m planning on getting a Bolt EV early next year. In June my in-laws are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, they’re renting a house in the Outer Banks and all their kids/spouses and grandkids are going down there with them. So, we will be driving about 820 miles to get there from Michigan. I used A Better Route Planner to see what that drive will be like in a Bolt EV. It will be 14-ish hours of driving and 4-ish hours of charging, 18 hours total. There are five charging stops, mostly an hour or less. Total estimated cost? Under $75. Right now we’re driving a 2009 Chevy Impala which gets 23-24 MPG. Gas would be about double that at $4/gal. Each way of course. Keeping in mind that fast charging on the road is the most expensive way to charge it is STILL half as expensive as gas. Sure, I’m paying for that in time, but the Bolt is a relatively slow charging EV, some others charge way faster (but also cost twice as much, there’s always a trade-off.) I’m 100% fine with this trade-off. Stops are 2-3 hours apart, that is about how long my wife’s bladder lasts anyway. We’d be stopping anyhow, just stopping for a bit longer. I have to rest more and save money? Not the worst thing in the world.
Just got my 2022 euv premiere minus super cruise about a couple of weeks ago. I bought this car just to see how i would like driving an electric car and if that all goes well i will trade the euv in for a 2024 equinox ev 3lt.
How would this car do in a situation where I live in an apartment in Milwaukee, WI that does not allow me access to charge it overnight. It will also be outdoors this winter. Am I better off waiting, even though my commute is only about 30 miles to work? I have access to fast charging at the office, and it will charge the entire day there, daily, for context.
I paid $1000 to get it done professionally. I like it a lot! The car cleans much easier and requires less attention which is what I wanted since the car is black. My thought is it will hopefully limit the swirl marks and imperfections long into the future. I will say that if the car was a lighter color like white, silver, gray I probably would not spend the money as those colors are easier to maintain and show less imperfections.
Dave I love your channel and you have to be one of the most decent car salesman anywhere, I do have to be honest though the ev’s are pretty neat I view them more like a new iphone or some new gaming system if they cost 40 to 50 k which makes the ev”s unattainable for most people not to mention if you want to take a long trip you have to plan it around finding a good charger. It really leaves me with a sore spot to think in just a few years most likely every state will not permit any new car sales that are gas powered. Thanks Dave keep up the great work.
My friend hit up three Chevy dealers for a Chevy Bolt EUV and they all wanted $10K over MSRP. That would eliminate the Bolt from being the best car deal in 2022.
Haven't ordered a center console storage compartment tray for my EUV yet; but it's on my to-do list. I 'm avoiding using the compartment right now since the NFC spot to tap a keyfob to start the car if the fob battery is dead is at that bottom of the compartment. The fob battery going dead is not something I should have to worry about for a few years; but would hate to be in a hurry and have to empty out a compartment full of odds and ends to get the car started. If they are going to keep the NFC tap to start location in the console compartment, then I'd like to see Chevy provide some sort of console tray as standard equipment.
I’m debating buying one. And I can also get the great GM employee discount. My father-in-law retired from the Van Nuys California GM plant. I’ve heard that the cold weather affects the battery. Does the car take longer to charge in the cold weather? Does the battery hold less charge in the cold weather?
Not sure why you need to pay for a 55 point inspection....to inspect what ? This is not gas car...hundreds less moving parts. Id be very curious to see what the 55 point inspection covers. Just watched a video showing the undercarriage ofthe Bolt. Its embarrassingly spartan. Nothing much to see...very basic componants Other than tire rotation, electric cars should be virtually maintenance free for at least 5 years. Please outline what the 55 point inspection covers. Thanks.
I'm buying a 2023 mosaic black EUV like yours but with the redline package. How much was the ceramic coat for you and does it really prevent swirl marks? What are your thoughts on it? I'm debating if it's worth the money.
It was worth it for me. I am a stickler for a nice looking, clean car. It cleans and drys super easy, the rain seems to wash dirt off it. In time I hope the ceramic coating helps from swirl marks. I believe it will although I will only personally hand wash the vehicle. I won't roll it through auto car washes. So far so good. I paid $1000. Going to make a video about this soon.
You never mentioned the 7500 from the government. If Chevy got that in the lease it makes up for the money they gave you on the hood . I would think the buy made more sense for you but I could be wrong . This said I just brought mine . After paying sticker ( pain !) with 500 military discount and the 7500 in taxes I’ll pay less than 24000 for mine . Not even close to your deal ( no state incentives here in OK ) but so far so great . I would never road trip this as we have my wife’s Tesla but for 1/3 the price is find the value amazing on this car .
@@DaveBsellsChevy I read the new legislation and of course it can change but the 7500 is supposed to be retroactive. Did not read if the lease qualifies or not but the purchase does .
I currently own a ampera-e 2019 (which is almost identical with Bolt as far i know) and i want to upgrade to 2022 bolt 🙄, but i don't find any GM dealer in Iceland to deal with American chevrolet models
The EUV looks OK but personally, I will be looking at the Chevy Equinox EV when the time comes to say goodbye to my beloved 2019 Premier. Judging by the videos I've seen so far, the Equinox is going to be a real development of the Bolt family. Money-wise, we'll see when GM roll out the real thing.
So Bolt EV verse Bolt EUV.. Is one easier to get in and out of for driver? Is one easier to see out of. Seem the EV has larger windows and less blind spots? Does one drive better? Heard the EUV might be less choppy or bouncy due to the longer wheel base? Better turning radius on the EV?
Ease of getting in and out is the same.. 2022 EUV seat is more comfortable than the 2019.. Don't notice a difference in blind spots.. they feel and drive the same to me.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Thanks for the reply. I am leaning towards the Bolt EV LT2. You can get the Bose sound system without having to get the sunroof. Though I miss out on the ventilated seats. But get more bang for the buck in the regular EV.
I've heard of more than one person who's bought their leased Bolt at the pre-pandemic buyout price, with that brand-new battery with brand-new warranty and the same range as the new '22-23s.
I currently in the market for a bolt EUV but I feel like I can get a better deal than at MSRP for the 2022 with the 6300 discount which comes out to be somewhere around 32k for the Premier version.
Why didn’t you get the free replacement like we all got? You could have bought it for $15k off sticker or something. I’m doing it now. You could have not had battery replaced, had them replace car then immediately buy out lease and you would have gotten a new car from them.
Great video Dave! Recent subscriber and loving your channel!! Not sure if you have ever been asked this before, but how would you go about finding a good dealership to work for? I am considering selling cars after I retire from law enforcement, but so many dealerships have awful reviews from current and former employees. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work Dave!
You did get a great deal on your car, however, dealers will charge their "off the street" customers a "market adjustment" fee of several thousand dollars or tack on other fees to sales price.
Dave, can you comment on the recent story with $30,000 battery replacement cost a Volt owner was charged (USA Today inquiry confirmed it with the dealer). His Volt only had 70,000 miles. Should we expect something similar with the Bolt?
@@DaveBsellsChevy Chevy dealers wouldn't do that, would they? 😆 The problem is that it effectively renders a vehicle with 70K miles worthless and sends a bad message.
Very cool Dave. I'm trying to find a 23 Bolt EV, but here in Ohio it seems we don't get any. I have noticed your dealership seems to have them in stock. Being originally from the NYC area I may have to visit your dealership. Keep up the great video's.
Interesting video! My husband and I put down a deposit to order a 2023 EUV. Our dealer told us that everyone gets the GM discount ($6300) so no further discount is available. Also the dealer has not actually ordered the car for us. What's up?
We just picked up our new 2022 Bolt EUV three weeks ago and it has been great so far and totally agree with you on the deal, it just became a no brainer under $30k. We got lucky and found an LT on the lot with some options on it that the buyer had backed out on. We had to wait a week for the battery replacement to be completed, so that's been done. We signed the papers at the dealership on Friday morning and I sent Qmerit (Chevys vendor that handles the installs) my install photos that same day, via the very simple website process they walk you through. By Sunday we had an electrician assigned and it was installed Tuesday. We found some local pay DC charge stations and tested the apps over the weekend so we could get in plenty of drive time in the new ride, but having the home charging installed in less than 5 days from purchase was pretty impressive and went very smoothly. Chevrolet including the charger and home install of the 240V drop really made the purchase simple and our local dealer, Sands Chevrolet was really great through the purchase process as well. The price point of our 2022 Bolt EUV with the price reduction rebates of the 2023s rolled back to the 2022s, plus a family employee discount from GM made it a real no-brainer for a new commuter car that we don't really plan to use for long trips. I will probably keep my eye out for a 40A charger for home, since the charger Chevrolet gives you is a 30A, so 7.6kw limited at home and the Bolt will do up to 11kw on Level 2 & the 40A gets you close to 10kw. Figure if I'm going to buy a spare charger i might as well get a higher rate model that it can use for even a little faster home charging.
Another great job Dave, besides the presentation and subject matter it seems that you are doing an excellent job editing and having the right equipment to do the job. I noticed at the end how windy it was and your microphone was picking up just perfect.
Did I understand you that we can charge for FREE at some GM dealerships? I thought the salesman indicated that I could do that when I did my first test drive, but assumed there was a fee to do that. If so, is it a fast charger or just a 120v slow charger?
Hey Dave! Awesome video! I was thinking of getting the 2023 Bolt EUV as a second car but I’m gonna wait for the new ev tax incentive. My worry is when January ‘23 comes around that the demand will be so high on this car that the dealers will probably mark up the car. If i was on the east coast I would buy the car from you but alas I’m in California. Thanks!
I just bought a 2022 Bolt EV and thought about waiting. The government has so many rules on that tax credit in 2023 that you're probably going to get cheated out of most or all of that if you wait. I thought long and hard about that, and grabbed the "bird in the hand, instead of 2 in the bush". This deal that GM is giving today might disappear in 2023 along with getting the Level 2 charger installed at GM's expense. I recommend that you leap now and you can thank me later (or not). These are HALF the cost of buying the cheapest Tesla and they are awesome IMO. Most hard-working people can afford this EV and it works great. I'm retired and did not even need a car, but still glad I did this.
Great information. I am waiting on my 2022 Bolt EUV. All I get from the dealer is that it is in transit. Well, how long does hat take? Is there no way to track the car to see where it is?
We live out in Los Angeles and our Chevrolet Tahoe RST arrived at the dealer today due to pick it up tomorrow morning it’s black on black with the 6.2L we purchased it inbound number of people wanted it but we jumped on it first after your advice lately it’s a 3rd car for towing/camping and beach trips it’ll go along side my 2022 Kia Sorento SX Prestige and my fiancé’s 2023 Kia Sportage EX hybrid now in the Tahoe is the apple carplay wireless or wired
@@DaveBsellsChevy yay I can’t wait to pick the car up it’s getting the PDI done today so we might be able to pick it up this afternoon hopefully it’s not on stop sale
Great video I really enjoyed it because I have supposedly any euV on order but who knows when I'm going to get it but it's nice to see all the features and I think I'm going to love the car once I get it
Dave, looking at your site and using it to jump onto the dealer website, it appears that there is no "Market adjustment" or mandatory add-on's being added to the prices. Is that correct?
When it comes to the 2022/2023 Bolt EV vs Bolt EUV, I'd say the looks on the Bolt EV are actually more appealing for what the vehicle is. The 2022/2023 Bolt EUV is slower, smaller on the inside, and less efficient than the 2022/2023 Bolt EV. For those looking to buy a new Chevy... if you can wait a couple of years, the Equinox looks great. If you have to buy now, buy the 2023 Bolt EV and not the 2023 Bolt EUV.
@@soyboi2819 If you research it, I believe it's due to how they measure it and the fact that the EUV has a different rear hatch angle - the difference is negligible. EUV definitely has more cargo space with the back seats down due to that extra 3 inches in the back.
That's an amazing deal Dave! I bought a 2023 EUV about a month ago now, the first '23 my dealer sold. It's a Premier with the sunroof and super cruise.

Nice! How are you enjoying the Super Cruise? Have you used it much yet?
My wife and I have had our EUV for a week now and we love it, great tech and fun to drive.
No complaints!
Love that your always explaing how awesome EV is! People don't know what they are missing!
How much is the markup ???? Yeah they are the price as listed .......
Hey Dave, where are you it's been 2 weeks. Did I miss something.?
Someone is going to get a very well taken care of 2019 Chevy Bolt, with a large chunk of the warranty still in place.
I know, I have a buddy who has been looking for a Volt who would jump on that in a second, if it wasn't on the wrong side of the country. (we're in the PNW).

Dave, I have a 22 EUV. What do you think about the gear selector? I personally don’t like it and would prefer a dial.
I don't mind it at all

Man, I don't really need a car since my '08 still runs, but with that kind of deal I'd drive from NW Ohio to NJ in a heartbeat.
That is really neat how that all worked out with your new bolt I really could not how amazing they look now that is amazing Dave
Hey Dave B, got a EUV on order! How much was your ceramic coating and do you like it?
I paid $1000 to get it done professionally. I like it a lot! The car cleans much easier and requires less attention which is what I wanted since the car is black. My thought is it will hopefully limit the swirl marks and imperfections long into the future. I will say that if the car was a lighter color like white, silver, gray I probably would not spend the money as those colors are easier to maintain and show less imperfections.
@@DaveBsellsChevy wow, thanks Dave B, I was going to get the blue 2023 color on the EUV
So based on my research if I wait until 1/1/23 I can get the federal tax credit on the Bolt EV?
I’d consider one if I hadn’t sold my house and moved to an apartment complex without any charging facilities
Dave I love your channel and you have to be one of the most decent car salesman anywhere, I do have to be honest though the ev’s are pretty neat I view them more like a new iphone or some new gaming system if they cost 40 to 50 k which makes the ev”s unattainable for most people not to mention if you want to take a long trip you have to plan it around finding a good charger.
It really leaves me with a sore spot to think in just a few years most likely every state will not permit any new car sales that are gas powered.
Thanks Dave keep up the great work.
I wouldn't worry about it. CA is saying no gas car sales by 2035, so much can change by then.
Dam you got a steal of a car. Does your shop charge a markup on it or you got the employee discount?
My friend hit up three Chevy dealers for a Chevy Bolt EUV and they all wanted $10K over MSRP. That would eliminate the Bolt from being the best car deal in 2022.
It's not the Bolt that is the best deal it is MY Bolt deal that is the best deal in 2022
I really like my 2022 EUV and no regrets buying it, now I can’t wait for the battery change to get full range!
I like how causally you said it only cost LG two billion dollars to get the job done.
Haven't ordered a center console storage compartment tray for my EUV yet; but it's on my to-do list. I 'm avoiding using the compartment right now since the NFC spot to tap a keyfob to start the car if the fob battery is dead is at that bottom of the compartment. The fob battery going dead is not something I should have to worry about for a few years; but would hate to be in a hurry and have to empty out a compartment full of odds and ends to get the car started.
If they are going to keep the NFC tap to start location in the console compartment, then I'd like to see Chevy provide some sort of console tray as standard equipment.
I’m debating buying one. And I can also get the great GM employee discount. My father-in-law retired from the Van Nuys California GM plant. I’ve heard that the cold weather affects the battery. Does the car take longer to charge in the cold weather? Does the battery hold less charge in the cold weather?
I never noticed a difference in charge times but I do see about a 30 mile decrease in range in NJ winters
Not sure why you need to pay for a 55 point inspection....to inspect what ? This is not gas car...hundreds less moving parts. Id be very curious to see what the 55 point inspection covers. Just watched a video showing the undercarriage ofthe Bolt. Its embarrassingly spartan. Nothing much to see...very basic componants Other than tire rotation, electric cars should be virtually maintenance free for at least 5 years. Please outline what the 55 point inspection covers. Thanks.
Multi point inspection.. I think was about $55..
What type/brand of ceramic coating did you get?
size comparison pls? I was interested in the 2019 model since it looks like a spark but the newer model seems quite a bit bigger.
The new EUV is same width, 1 inch taller, 6 inches longer
Pick our 2023 up next week and we are so excited!
I like the 2019 Bolt. I love the color blue. It is good you gave us your experience with it.
I want to know about the latest federal tax credit or rebate.
I'm buying a 2023 mosaic black EUV like yours but with the redline package. How much was the ceramic coat for you and does it really prevent swirl marks? What are your thoughts on it? I'm debating if it's worth the money.
It was worth it for me. I am a stickler for a nice looking, clean car. It cleans and drys super easy, the rain seems to wash dirt off it. In time I hope the ceramic coating helps from swirl marks. I believe it will although I will only personally hand wash the vehicle. I won't roll it through auto car washes. So far so good. I paid $1000. Going to make a video about this soon.
@@DaveBsellsChevy I see, I look forward to the video!
You never mentioned the 7500 from the government. If Chevy got that in the lease it makes up for the money they gave you on the hood . I would think the buy made more sense for you but I could be wrong . This said I just brought mine . After paying sticker ( pain !) with 500 military discount and the 7500 in taxes I’ll pay less than 24000 for mine . Not even close to your deal ( no state incentives here in OK ) but so far so great . I would never road trip this as we have my wife’s Tesla but for 1/3 the price is find the value amazing on this car .
Chevy does not qualify for the $7500 until after the new year when they lift the 200,000 sold vehicle cap
@@DaveBsellsChevy I read the new legislation and of course it can change but the 7500 is supposed to be retroactive. Did not read if the lease qualifies or not but the purchase does .
Hy Dave, can you find out if GM /Chevrolet have any dealers in Iceland?
I currently own a ampera-e 2019 (which is almost identical with Bolt as far i know) and i want to upgrade to 2022 bolt 🙄, but i don't find any GM dealer in Iceland to deal with American chevrolet models
Why didn’t you buy the lease out and sell it for profit at car max? I’m sure it was worth more than your payoff
Buy out was too high. Didn't make sense
The EUV looks OK but personally, I will be looking at the Chevy Equinox EV when the time comes to say goodbye to my beloved 2019 Premier.
Judging by the videos I've seen so far, the Equinox is going to be a real development of the Bolt family. Money-wise, we'll see when GM roll out the real thing.
Yea, your deal was great. But, most of us don't have the benefits u have.
Yes, I was very fortunate
Great job and keep them going! Ordered a '23 so hopefully getting it in early '23 so we can get the rebates and MSRP stays the same from GM
I'm pretty sure MSRP won't go up. they need it to be priced lower than the incoming Equinox EV
$7 markup ruined the deal.
EV.EV. now. how did you do on that marathon ?
So Bolt EV verse Bolt EUV..
Is one easier to get in and out of for driver?
Is one easier to see out of. Seem the EV has larger windows and less blind spots?
Does one drive better? Heard the EUV might be less choppy or bouncy due to the longer wheel base? Better turning radius on the EV?
Ease of getting in and out is the same.. 2022 EUV seat is more comfortable than the 2019.. Don't notice a difference in blind spots.. they feel and drive the same to me.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Thanks for the reply. I am leaning towards the Bolt EV LT2. You can get the Bose sound system without having to get the sunroof. Though I miss out on the ventilated seats. But get more bang for the buck in the regular EV.
Darn shame what happen Chevy.
are there any new bolt euv's 2023 to purchase??
We don't have any at the moment. We have about 25-30 sold orders lined up for production
I've heard of more than one person who's bought their leased Bolt at the pre-pandemic buyout price, with that brand-new battery with brand-new warranty and the same range as the new '22-23s.
I currently in the market for a bolt EUV but I feel like I can get a better deal than at MSRP for the 2022 with the 6300 discount which comes out to be somewhere around 32k for the Premier version.
Thanks for the update.
Why didn’t you get the free replacement like we all got? You could have bought it for $15k off sticker or something. I’m doing it now. You could have not had battery replaced, had them replace car then immediately buy out lease and you would have gotten a new car from them.
Great video
I’m looking at getting a 2021 or 2020. Heavy malibu LT. any thoughts on the malibu
You bought the wrong tray for the console. Amazon sells one, SKTU brand. Fits perfect.
I never bought it due to the reviews. Thanks for the SKTU recommendation. I'll check it out
Do you have a link David? Thanks!
@@sbroumley yup, I added it in the description of this video
get me that same deal
I’m your best fan.
Great video Dave! Recent subscriber and loving your channel!! Not sure if you have ever been asked this before, but how would you go about finding a good dealership to work for? I am considering selling cars after I retire from law enforcement, but so many dealerships have awful reviews from current and former employees. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work Dave!
Hi Dave, Did you buy the 2022 out right or did you finance it. If so what are your current rates in your area. Thanks...Jon
Looks like your gonna need a 20000 t-shirt soon!
Right around the corner! I still have some shirts left.. Maybe I'll do a buy one get one or something when I hit 20k
How much did it cost to ceramic coat your car and where did you get it done?
premierdetailingnj.com/ This is who I used. I'll let them handle the pricing
Dave. Check out RUclipsr Ben Hardy. "This is really bad news for GM". Gives his assessment of the EV market. I agree.
Which video?
@@DaveBsellsChevy this is really bad news for GM. A white Hummer is shown on lead page with the quote above
@@DaveBsellsChevy Ben Hardy Reviews
@@douglasbutz8472 watched that vid.. bunch of hot air if you ask me.
You did get a great deal on your car, however, dealers will charge their "off the street" customers a "market adjustment" fee of several thousand dollars or tack on other fees to sales price.
Hi Mr David Great videos I'm haven to play catch up been busy I try watch them and share them when I can
How long is taking GM to accept bolt orders and give out the order number?
Dave, can you comment on the recent story with $30,000 battery replacement cost a Volt owner was charged (USA Today inquiry confirmed it with the dealer). His Volt only had 70,000 miles. Should we expect something similar with the Bolt?
No
@@phileasler5401 And more details, or is it a secret?
I heard that the dealer purposely jacked up the quote to push the client to a new car
@@DaveBsellsChevy Chevy dealers wouldn't do that, would they? 😆 The problem is that it effectively renders a vehicle with 70K miles worthless and sends a bad message.
@@mountainhobo probably just a rumor
I still like the blue one like always great video’s Dave B 🇺🇸👍🏻 what happened to the $7500 joe 🤔Biden rebate
It'll be for purchases in calendar year 2023
Did you purchase it outright? Or finance?
Dave B at it again.
Very cool Dave. I'm trying to find a 23 Bolt EV, but here in Ohio it seems we don't get any. I have noticed your dealership seems to have them in stock. Being originally from the NYC area I may have to visit your dealership. Keep up the great video's.
Thanks for watching James 👍 Currently everything showing online are sold orders so for sure reach out before making that trip
whats your next EV?
Silverado RST launch edition 👍
How much is ceramic coating? Does it mean when it rains you don’t get the rain stains?
Interesting video! My husband and I put down a deposit to order a 2023 EUV. Our dealer told us that everyone gets the GM discount ($6300) so no further discount is available. Also the dealer has not actually ordered the car for us. What's up?
The $6300 is a rebate on the 2022 model year due to the new lower pricing for the 2023 model year.
Did you buy or lease this one?
Purchased it
We just picked up our new 2022 Bolt EUV three weeks ago and it has been great so far and totally agree with you on the deal, it just became a no brainer under $30k. We got lucky and found an LT on the lot with some options on it that the buyer had backed out on. We had to wait a week for the battery replacement to be completed, so that's been done. We signed the papers at the dealership on Friday morning and I sent Qmerit (Chevys vendor that handles the installs) my install photos that same day, via the very simple website process they walk you through. By Sunday we had an electrician assigned and it was installed Tuesday. We found some local pay DC charge stations and tested the apps over the weekend so we could get in plenty of drive time in the new ride, but having the home charging installed in less than 5 days from purchase was pretty impressive and went very smoothly. Chevrolet including the charger and home install of the 240V drop really made the purchase simple and our local dealer, Sands Chevrolet was really great through the purchase process as well. The price point of our 2022 Bolt EUV with the price reduction rebates of the 2023s rolled back to the 2022s, plus a family employee discount from GM made it a real no-brainer for a new commuter car that we don't really plan to use for long trips. I will probably keep my eye out for a 40A charger for home, since the charger Chevrolet gives you is a 30A, so 7.6kw limited at home and the Bolt will do up to 11kw on Level 2 & the 40A gets you close to 10kw. Figure if I'm going to buy a spare charger i might as well get a higher rate model that it can use for even a little faster home charging.
So glad to hear everything went so smoothly. Congrats on you new Bolt!!
Another great job Dave, besides the presentation and subject matter it seems that you are doing an excellent job editing and having the right equipment to do the job. I noticed at the end how windy it was and your microphone was picking up just perfect.
Did I understand you that we can charge for FREE at some GM dealerships? I thought the salesman indicated that I could do that when I did my first test drive, but assumed there was a fee to do that. If so, is it a fast charger or just a 120v slow charger?
It would depend dealer to dealer. Our chargers are currently free to the community.
Hey Dave! Awesome video! I was thinking of getting the 2023 Bolt EUV as a second car but I’m gonna wait for the new ev tax incentive. My worry is when January ‘23 comes around that the demand will be so high on this car that the dealers will probably mark up the car. If i was on the east coast I would buy the car from you but alas I’m in California. Thanks!
I just bought a 2022 Bolt EV and thought about waiting. The government has so many rules on that tax credit in 2023 that you're probably going to get cheated out of most or all of that if you wait. I thought long and hard about that, and grabbed the "bird in the hand, instead of 2 in the bush". This deal that GM is giving today might disappear in 2023 along with getting the Level 2 charger installed at GM's expense. I recommend that you leap now and you can thank me later (or not). These are HALF the cost of buying the cheapest Tesla and they are awesome IMO. Most hard-working people can afford this EV and it works great. I'm retired and did not even need a car, but still glad I did this.
Great information. I am waiting on my 2022 Bolt EUV. All I get from the dealer is that it is in transit. Well, how long does hat take? Is there no way to track the car to see where it is?
The dealer has a way to GPS track it once GM has it in the system. I just checked today and I have a few Bolts on a train in Ohio heading over to NJ
Hi. Do you know why we have to wait more than a year here in Canada for a Bolt? For my part the EV looks better. Thanks love your EV videos
Thanks for watching. Not to sure about time frames for orders in Canada
If it wasn't so small, I like it, just a little bigger.
We live out in Los Angeles and our Chevrolet Tahoe RST arrived at the dealer today due to pick it up tomorrow morning it’s black on black with the 6.2L we purchased it inbound number of people wanted it but we jumped on it first after your advice lately it’s a 3rd car for towing/camping and beach trips it’ll go along side my 2022 Kia Sorento SX Prestige and my fiancé’s 2023 Kia Sportage EX hybrid now in the Tahoe is the apple carplay wireless or wired
wireless
@@DaveBsellsChevy yay I can’t wait to pick the car up it’s getting the PDI done today so we might be able to pick it up this afternoon hopefully it’s not on stop sale
Dave, is the headroom sitting in the back seat higher without the sunroof or the same?
I felt there was less headroom with the sunroof when I tried the two out but I am also a pretty tall guy and used to limited head room.
You had to put the short in a real video so people will see it.
Great video I really enjoyed it because I have supposedly any euV on order but who knows when I'm going to get it but it's nice to see all the features and I think I'm going to love the car once I get it
It'll be worth the wait!
Yes but then you’re in a chevy 😔
Does the 2022 Bolt have a frunk? If so, how much space? Thanks Dave B. I enjoy watching your videos and learning about Chevys 👍🏼
I have the 22 EUV and there’s no frunk
Front wheel drive, no space for one. Frunks are overrated except for the Ford Lightning that I drive now
Dave, looking at your site and using it to jump onto the dealer website, it appears that there is no "Market adjustment" or mandatory add-on's being added to the prices. Is that correct?
We do have market adjustment on some models. Nothing as far as dealer accessory add ons.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Thanks for clarifying that. You make nice, enjoyable videos
Learn a lot from this video 🔥🔥
When it comes to the 2022/2023 Bolt EV vs Bolt EUV, I'd say the looks on the Bolt EV are actually more appealing for what the vehicle is. The 2022/2023 Bolt EUV is slower, smaller on the inside, and less efficient than the 2022/2023 Bolt EV.
For those looking to buy a new Chevy... if you can wait a couple of years, the Equinox looks great. If you have to buy now, buy the 2023 Bolt EV and not the 2023 Bolt EUV.
EUV is 3 inches more leg room in second row.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Yeah but loses cargo space in the back for unknown reasons.
@@soyboi2819 how much does it lose?
@@soyboi2819 If you research it, I believe it's due to how they measure it and the fact that the EUV has a different rear hatch angle - the difference is negligible. EUV definitely has more cargo space with the back seats down due to that extra 3 inches in the back.
You need darker tint.
I like the 2022 too. It is the future.
Could you have ordered a black grill in place of the silver?
I personally think it would look much cooler with all black grill.
Thanks!
The LT comes with the gray and the Premier comes with the black. I agree I think the black looks better but the gray is starting to grow on me.
