Okay, so after much waiting , Bolts are finally starting to trickle... and I do mean trickle (like one Bolt at just two dealerships in a county with 1.5million people) in to the area.

Got to drive a Orange Premier yesterday... it was as good as I envisioned.
In my best Trump'ish tweet tone... "fantastic car...want one!"

Here's the rub.....

NY State is only starting their $2000 EV rebate for EV's purchased on or after April 1st 2017.

So even if the dealers get the Bolts on the lot... no one in NY will buy one till April 1st due to procrastination up in Albany since they okay'd the $2000 EV Rebate program in last April (2016).

So we finally get Bolts in NY... physically available to purchase and literally drive home today... but they will sit unsold till April 1st.

FWIW- no discounts either... 100% sticker price!

How's that for a kick in the produce section.....

The day I learned that the gasoline tax was calculated AFTER the sales tax (so you are paying a tax on a tax) was the final straw for me and NY. I left there in 1992 and only go back to visit family.

And the family thinks I'm weird because I keep hopping back over the border to PA to buy gas and stuff when I'm up there because I simply refuse to put money into the NY economy if I can avoid it.
