Except, wait....some people might actually care what their car looks like???

Yes, i guess so are just so above all of us, huh, not caring what kind of car you drive at all. Good for you.

Edit: I am not crazy about the looks of a Tesla either. I get it, it's polarizing. There are some people who love it and some who don't. But at least it's not a Bolt. Don't get me wrong, a Bolt has its place and purpose. A good-looking stylish car, it is NOT. I think every non-Bolt owner (and probably many Bolt owners) will agree to that. I think if you are in a professional building parking lot, being seen walking out of a Bolt would be downright an embarrassment. Ok, some of you are above looks and materialism, good for you. The rest of the world doesn't operate that way. You can potentially find the president of a company drive a Tesla, but you are not going to find one driving a Bolt. Not the president of a real company with 50+ employees (unless he/she is so big and rich he is doing it just to prove a point like Bill Gates). Let's be real hear.

Comparing a Bolt to a Tesla has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. They both have their merits and their weak points, but they are COMPLETELY different types of cars for different target audiences. It's like comparing a Bolt to a golf cart. Both do their jobs well, just meant for different purposes. So stop with the stupid comparisons.

Let me guess…you live in California.

The funny thing is that some people actually think the Bolt is a car
So why is everyone talking about the Bolt in a Tesla thread? Because they know the truth

Nothing major. Just battery replacement every 5k miles and motor replacement at 10k intervals

Someone needs to tell Marky Mark his Chevy Dealership is wrong I guess?

About every six months, your Chevy Bolt EV will need several 7,500-mile interval services
Then it lists addition services every 15k, every 22.5k, every 75k, and some more needed every X years.

I'm sorry, I meant a Model y, which is included in the OP's lead.
I just went here:
https://www.tesla.com/modely/design#overview

and had no problem selecting the Model Y Long Range to order (same with the standard range or performance)

Est. delivery for the LR was shown as Apr-June.

Model 3 dropped $1000 BUT the $7500 tax credit is going away, so not really a price drop unless you have cash to buy one before April 18
Actually Tesla ironically keeps most of the rebates except on the entry model which gets halved. The competition, on the other hand, generally gets their halves in many cases.

The reason for this is that Tesla is uniquely specialized in localization of jobs/manufacturing, while legacies mostly catalog shop and outsource. So the expiration actually benefits the one that is most American made, which is Tesla.


Also, interestingly, if anyone is from Oregon, you can get additional rebates and breaks there on a Tesla, you can actually get one for ~$25k, crazy good deal on what's considered the iPhone of the car market.

Though even outside of Oregon, Tesla's entry car is already a better deal than a comparable Prius now:

Required maintenance is the stuff that you need to do to keep your warranty valid. The Bolt has no required maintenance.

Sure, if you have $48,000 in cash laying around and can buy next week. I personally would go with the bolt. It's almost $20k cheaper and pretty much the same car.

Yikes. Atari and PlayStation 4 are pretty much the same too, I guess

Except there is an income limit for the tax credit. It doesn't help if you target buyers that make more than the income limit.

With all new tesla on the road and multiplying by the day, Tesla needs to increase their superchargers exponentially to meet these demands. Especially after they open up to other EVs. Also after sale services suck now. They need to do more after sale supports and quality controls.
Please promise you're not holding your breath waiting for Tesla to care about your concerns about service! LMAOApplause

NO car has ANY "required you pay to do this or your entire warranty is invalid" maintenance- that's illegal under the Mangunson Moss act.

But most- including the bolt- have a list of stuff they tell you to do and it won't be covered under warranty if there's a problem from your failure to do it.


Quote from Bolt owners manual :
Damage caused by improper maintenance
can lead to costly repairs and may not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

https://www.chevrolet.com/electri...6ab3f4.pdf


It says
Twice every year- have "underbody flushing service" performed
Every 7500 miles- rotate tires
Every 15k or 12 months- change wiper blades front and rear
Every 22.5k- replace cabin air filter
Every 75k or 10 yrs- Replace hood/body gas struts
Every 150k miles or 5 years- Replace brake fluid



The list is slightly longer than Teslas... (Tesla has no need to do anything with gas struts, and gives no routine wiper change cycle but otherwise it's pretty similar- tire rotations, eventual changes of air filter and brake fluid-- they do say you only need an underbody wash 1/yr and only if you live in real winter though)



Quote from Eagles89 :

Avg. household income of a Tesla owner is around 130k a year.

The Credit income cap is 150k single and 300k married.

Making $300k a year puts you in the top 2.3% of the US population....leaving Tesla buyers that can get tax credits as.... the vast majority of the population.

Actually Bolt doesn't need maintenance. Chevy usually replaces the whole vehicle under lemon laws before 5k miles anyways.

"Improper maintenance" means getting your car maintainced by someone that breaks it. Of course that's not covered by warranty.

Except the income requirements stay the same until 2032. Do you most people will qualify in 2032?

Well...no, it also means failing to maintain the car by replacing a part that the manufacturer designed to be replaced at a specific interval. Nobody has to "break" something by doing it wrong to get into that situation- they just need to ignore the requirement for maintenance.

If you just ignore the requirement to replace your cabin filter for example, and it causes HVAC problems, your warranty wouldn't have to cover that since you failed to follow the maintenance schedule for that item.

Same as if you never changed engine oil in an ICE vehicle and the engine failed- that wouldn't be covered by the warranty either.

Same-same.


No car, ICE or EV, "voids the warranty" if you don't do required maintenance in and of itself.

All cars can refuse to cover a problem caused by you don't doing the required maintenance though.

So yes- the bolt has required maintenance in exactly the same way any other car does.

It has LESS of it- because it's an EV. Though still a bit more than Teslas do.
