So I'm considering trading in my beloved 2017 Premier for a 2019 Premier.
Thinking...
1) double the tax credit
2) add the couple features I didn't hold out for on the first one
3) comfier seats
4) less rigid suspension
5) greater charge control
6) Costco Cash card
7) split AC/Heat setting
8) Increase resale by moving up two MYs

Any faults in my logic?

Any feedback on the following from others who may have done this/considered this?
a) any issues claiming two tax credits in a calendar year if I have the liability?
- The MY 2017 was purchased in Feb of 2018
b) any feedback on the two tone seats with dark grey interior?
- I have solid grey today and kind of wanted the two tone but would love to hear if there are any concerns/wear issues from others who have them already.
c) Would anyone consider PMing me with that they have gotten for trade in? About $30K at current offer. Seems fair according to KBB but I'd love to get more if possible.

I don't live in MD - but you can believe I'll be sharing the prices there with the local dealers (we'll add $2k to the price since we know I don't live there).

Appreciate feedback and looking to get something done (or not) by Friday to take advantage of the End of Month window with the dealer.

Also considering black for the color. Any cautions / recommendations on that front?

Thanks all!

My biggest question is, do you have $15,000 in total tax liability? If you don't, it seems like a bit of a waste. You should speak to your tax consultant.

While I recognize that the MY 2019 is an improvement over the MY 2017, it's not significant enough to trade up for. The full Federal Tax Credit should still be available for the Bolt EV through March of 2019, so you don't have a high level of urgency here.

The lighter interior gives horrendous reflections of the dash in the windshield.

I believe I do have the tax liability. It was $18K last year - and I still don't consider myself able to afford the mid-range M3.

Math all computed, I believe the transaction will cost me $800 once I receive my tax refund.

I've got the light-colored dash and it hasn't been a problem. YMMV.
