YMMV? After I registered, the link no longer takes me to the form, but instead to the general Chevy page. The link was taking me to the form regularly before I registered. If it doesn't work for you, try navigating through the electric vehicle section and hopefully it'll pop up, as thats how I originally found the promo.

QA note: see wiki for alternate option to get pop-up, if link doesn't provide offer

It says Error submitting.

Edit: Worked after letting the offer popup on its own while browsing the website.

Screw dealers! They have been ripping people off since the shortage from the pandemic. Wish all sales were like Tesla so there was no sales/dealerships in the middle making money for nothing.

I was getting the ford mache after the market burst last March and cars were sitting on the lots and dealers were STILL wanting to add 4k to the MSRP price. The dealer in dallas couldn't answer any technical questions about the car either. Ended up getting the mache locally off of facebook marketplace for much cheaper
The only time I'm willing to deal with dealers is when they've given me some indication through email/phone that they're willing to honor or beat manufacturer lease/finance deals and aren't going to try to saddle me with a bunch of overpriced add-ons I don't want or need.

Earlier this year I able to find a couple such dealers for the model of car I was after, but I'm pretty sure it's because it'd been sitting on the lot for nearly two years and they wanted to move it ASAP. If I'd been going after something current year model and/or in demand my luck probably wouldn't have been nearly as good.

Can't wait for more zero-dealer EV manufacturers to come online (Telo, Scout) and for existing manufacturers to expand their model lineups to cover the gaps (Rivian, Lucid).

How about you don't put customers through the whole process of trying to upsell them on packages they don't need? Or trying ripping them off with cars that are way over MSRP?

Working for dealerships for more than 20 years. Most people that you will see there work on commission. And the commissions are usually based on profit. So in order to make money you need to sell the extras. Most cars have little to no profit. Especially evs. Invoice and msrp are usually the same. And in some cases the msrp is 5 bucks less than invoice. It's OK for a dealership to make profit and ask you to buy something. It's upto the customer to agree to make the deal or not make the deal. Alot of cars that you see huge dealer discounts are "loser" deals. The manufacturer does the rebates, any other discounts are directly from the dealership. So when you go online see a car priced alot lower than anyone else be prepared to pay for add ons.
Yep, you definitely sound like a car salesman. You trying to rationalize it is exactly why people don't like dealing with you.

Can anyone who did this process explain how it works? I show up at the dealership and give them the pin/offer code and test drive and then what? They email the card a couple days later? Just want to know if there is some way to confirm the test drive, I have very little trust in anybody who works in a dealership.

Yeah huh… YMMV on the attitude of the dealership. When I did these years ago there were sticklers who refused to sign off unless you test drove, then did the same if you didn't have them evaluate the trade, then did the same if you didn't go multiple rounds on the offer, then did not sign when you didn't not buy the car.

I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for dealerships. When mass market dealership EVs (ID5, EV6, Ioniq..etc) first hit the market dealerships in Charlotte where adding on tons of unneeded items…nitrogen in the tires, tinted windows, EV chargers, wheel locks, LowJack..etc. Which added $3-4k+ to the vehicle for noooo reason. There was no way of getting these items removed. Even if I custom order one from VW or Hyundai the minute they hit the dealership those were added on before final signing and I could take it or leave it.

Next the pandemic rolled around and they were adding $8-10k "market adjustments" because they could. I will gladly waste as much time as I can at any dealership. They know what they are doing and I know what I can do to help out Wink

I could not get this to work on Chrome but did get it to work on Safari. The offer page came up fine on Chrome but I couldn't get my info to submit. On Safari, I was able to submit. I have a feeling when I go to the dealership, the sales people will have no idea what I'm talking about though.
Does it mean that you won't get the $100?

What do you mean? Just ask for the gift card and say you don't want to test drive?
