My salesman just emailed me to say my 2017 Chevy Bolt has been built and will be shipped early next month!

Congrats and hope you will be able to "bolt" around soon!! What color did you order?

 

[Eddie Yasi]

Congrats! I'm picking up mine later today. Looking forward to hearing your new car experience when yours arrives... :-D

 

[NY-Rob]

You Mass guys are stepping up to the plate!

Good job!

The state should give you and additional $1k discount for every SB ring Tom and Bill have

I ordered summit white. I've never owned white before so I wanted to do something different since the vehicle was being custom built for me.

Congrats on the build! Let's hope shipping doesn't take long and you can have your Bolt by the end of next month.

 

[Jesse Green]

From what my salesman said the ship date is next Tuesday, and it'll be shipped via rail from Orion to Chicago and then it'll be put on a transport so it shouldn't be too long afterwards.

Congratulations. The only one thing I'd have to say is beware when you receive it, there most likely will be what they call "rail dust" all around the paint, and because you've gotten white, it'll show up quite a bit. It'll look like specs of rust. An easy way to get it out is to decontaminate the paint with a chemical called Iron X, and potentially may have to use a claybar depending on how bad it is

I think we'll just need to see when I get the Bolt. Hopefully if there is any the dealer will do their part in getting them off.

I got my new Grumpy Cat NO sticker today which will go on the Bolt once it arrives.

(I have one on my Volt now but I doubt it could be transferred so I'm just getting a new one instead).

What exactly is Grumpy Cat supposed to be saying "NO" to?

 

[Eddie Yasi]

Gasoline?

 

[Jesse Green]

No

What exactly is Grumpy Cat supposed to be saying "NO" to?

She's saying NO stick figure families allowed on my vehicle.

Ah, OK. What kind of sticker to you need to protest having stickers on a vehicle?

 

[Bazinga]

As far as I know, those decals can't be transferred and Grumpy cat is a lot better than stick figure family.

I asked for an update yesterday. It's at the distribution center in Michigan, waiting for a ride down here to Iowa. I told the dealer I'd like to get the car before I go to Minnesota.

 

[Jesse Green]

My salesman finally got a hold of someone in Orion who said my vehicle has been marked as hot and they're trying to get it on a ride out this way.
