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.
HI Barry:
Thanks for your reply and I am glad to be in the club.
On Friday, i drove to work 75 miles and with my charge used 0.7 gals or a combined 106 mpg!
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.
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
Oh no! another Paul S with a Volt. Only kidding! Good luck with youra, and what state are you in?
I have I think the first Volt in Montgomery County NY. The dealer asked me to attedn the local chamber of commerce meetin at end of month to present me the ceremonial Volt keys, Best regards, RED VOLT PAUL
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
Good Morning, Fishhawk.
Red is an eyecatcher!
I have the same options as yours.

Take Care, Paul S.
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.
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.

VIN 1715
ps. my friend at WV DMV tells me I'm the first to register a Volt in West by Gosh Virginia.
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).
