I just took delivery of my Red Volt from Mangino Chevrolet in Amsterdam, NY.
It is an awesome vehicle and It attracted lots of attention driving around town.
I picked it up at the dealer on April 5th.
Mike Couture my salesman was fantastic and he even provided me a bottle of Korbel which was
conveniently waiting for me in the drink console.
I would highly reccomend this Chevy dealer in the Albany area!
My last 6 numbers of the VIN # is 102169.
Does anyone know if this was the 2169th off the line?
Thanks, Paul S.

Congratulations Paul and welcome to the club!! I understand that VIN numbers are assigned as the vehicles are sent to the paint shop. They may or may not come off the line in that order. Kinda makes sense when assemblies are based on parts availability. Now that the weather is warming up some, my ER is climbing. I regularly exceed 40 MPC, and I hope to top 50 miles with a real spring.

Enjoy the ride!!

Congratulations, Paul!

I picked up my Crystal Red Volt Saturday, and I agree it's a fantastic vehicle. Mine's #2380.

Congrats Paul:

Interestingly, a good friend of mine had a birthday on Apr 5, and was born and raised in Amsterdam NY. My Silver Ice Metallic is #2159, and I took delivery on March 28 in Rochester.

HI Barry:
Thanks for your reply and your VIN assigning method makes sense. I was surprised to hear that the Volt production is now getting close to 2500 units. I drove to work today and obtained 40 mpc, enjoy your ride, too! Paul

 

[Paul Slazas]

Good Morning, Fishhawk.
Red is an eyecatcher!
I have the same options as yours.

How ironic! I took the Volt again to work and made it about 40 mpc. It seems the warmer the weather, the farther one charge will go. Take Care, Paul

I too love my new Red Volt. Welcome! This past weekend I was on an extended trip through West Virginia (over 800 miles in 2 days) and I couldn't be happier with the performance of the car. Overall I managed close to 40 MPG, mostly while cruising at over 70. I79 in WV is very hilly and the car had no issue whatsoever doing what I asked from it.

Congratulations! Enjoy. #1756

Congratulations from another Red Volt, #2506 in Troy Michigan. Very good color, very good vehicle. Amazing though how quickly we get used to it as a new standard. I was beginning to think that the Volt was not much more quiet than a regular car. Then a few days in a row the ICE came on, sooner and sooner - and the noise level got much higher, but not right away - it seems to take a while and eases into it. Also took it on a trip to Ohio, 190 miles one way, no battery at the start - 45+ mpg. Not bad, eh? Wife loves the XM radio (classical channels).

No doubt about it, West Virginia is a wonderful place to drive a Red Volt! Especially in sport mode. Today I had to get across town and over the hill during lunch. Amazing how the Volt leaves the line at a light, leaps up a hill, and enables quick passing when the opportunity is there.

ps. my friend at WV DMV tells me I'm the first to register a Volt in West by Gosh Virginia.

Thanks DK, I bet you're still enjoying your Volt. Mangine Chevy In Amsterdam is a great dealer and they won a trophy for #1 in service, While I was in CA e weeks ago, I stopped at Capital Chevrolet in San Jose and they had a waiting list of 30!

Congratulations, Paul. Red is an excellent choice! I hope you enjoy many safe and silent miles.

Thanks a lot. I cannot wait to see more of them on the road. Just bought the Level 2 Charger and it will be installed soon! Best, Paul

Thanks Steverino. As I said in an earlier thread I got 106 mpc and gas on Friday. My driving style was 93 and 100%.
I bet a lot of the techies in CA will be figuring out a way to add more Li-On batteries, Paul
