Hate when people include tax credits into price that not everyone qualifies for without all the info, it's a little misleading in these ev/Tesla threads. This requires a tax liability of $7500 or more that you get after you file and is not point of sale. Also max income of $150-300k for single/married filers to qualify. Also there is nothing new here, this is MSRP, info on tax credit, and the charger install was always included with bolt purchase (since Feb '21)

edit: For clarification from the wiki: "The tax credit is not refundable, which means one must have federal tax due to take advantage of it. If the tax due is less than the credit amount, one can only claim the credit up to the amount of the tax due."
So lower income people will not get a $7500 refund, it depends on your liability. i.e. A SDer responded about a student being angry in a previous thread that they only got $500 back and not $7500.

LOL no.

Virtually all of the ICE vehicle can be recycled. Generally the only items not recyclable per se will be interior trim - it's mixed plastic and rubber. Engine? steel or aluminum. Gearcases? Steel or aluminum. Body, frame, etc, steel or aluminum. In fact, about 86% of a car can be recycled [recyclenation.com].

Meanwhile your EV will still have a fully and readily recyclable frame and body, just like the ICE. The motor will generally be recyclable. The battery? Not really. Generally batteries and battery packs are not really designed for recycling. Most are just thousands of individual cylindrical cells, that themselves are spiral wound multilayer structures. There's no easy way to separate the materials here. An ICE, you literally rip out the engine with heavy equipment and include it in with any other steel or aluminum - the process is astonishingly easy and quick [youtube.com] with heavy equipment.

Meanwhile, the batteries are generally just shredded [ucsusa.org]. The resulting material is called "black mass" and is placed into a bath of caustic chemicals to leech out the *important* elements. In certain cases, that black mass is first incinerated to burn off plastic and epoxies. Yeah that sounds super efficient and environmental to me.

So basically these cars could simply be like you iphone or Guarraty disposable product. Please upgrade and throw your old one in the trash. So much for saving the environment and saving money.

The battery is covered by a 8 years/100,000 miles warranty in event of failure.

The battery pack replacement (the worst case scenario) costs $15,734.29.

And the average age of cars on the road is about 13 years. At the average rate of driving the average person would run out of miles before years (~7.5 years). The average consumer expects a vehicle to last about 150k miles.

A replacement IC engine and tranny is way less than a new battery pack.

Thanks OP managed to get a Bolt EUV at MSRP with the install here in SoCal!

The troll comments on this thread sealed the deal 👍

That people are fighting this hard against the technology convinced me it was the smart thing to do

The dealer was a PITA (obviously), but the car is really nice! $9.5k off (tax rebates) with a free outlet install makes it a damn good deal...

Will there be a rebate for the replacement $16,000 (probably more in the future given inflation)?
Will that really be a refurbished/recycled $16,000 + battery thats not as good as the original?

Most will have to finance that $16,000 battery , imagine the interest rate on that!
