And It Begins.
The Gen 2 of the EV. Mid priced EVs with long range.

Nobody knows what is going to happen. It's a very cool time to be a car nut.

Nice shot!

Maybe that Arctic Blue one on the bottom is mine.
edit: wait, nevermind, no roof rails, so that's a LT. Mine is a Premier.

What! No drive up beside and take picture of the window sticker???? What kind of.. j/k Nice catch/find!!

Right now Bolts are only being offered on the west coast. That truck isn't going across the country. Could be cars for GM evaluation fleet, auto shows or for Canada.

How do you know that truck is not going cross country?

Could be they are being transported from the factory to the location they are loaded on the train. Most likely bet actually.

Hilarious - they don't waste any time

I think the Orion plant has it's own spur line for train transport.

Awesome, no matter where they are going or who is getting them. No more "vaporware" remarks.

A bit of sunshine (powered possibly) on an otherwise dreary Michigan day.

Actually there are some people in Canada with TPW's in December. So maybe they are customer cars. GM Canada already has a number of fleet Bolt EV's.

Because then it would most likely be a train.

Bolts are on trucks/rails and on their way to initial roll-out market dealers

Great to see. And yes Joe, you're famous. Love the photo BTW -- the noise and the grain are great. Cross between digital and film. Very cool look. (Serious, I thought it was a professional shot when I saw it).

Remember this??

Certainly this all stirs up some emotions and brings back some great memories from 6 years ago!
(and the comments are pretty entertaining as well given the fore-knowledge of where we are now)
