      Really? Can you actually get them at MSRP in any decent amount of time?

      And is that federal? I thought Chevy ran out of their tax incentives…

        Not as of last January when I tried to buy one. I was able to test drive one and found it acceptable but it was the only one available, it was significantly over MSRP (it was Premier trim, so >$35k) and I could order one but they flat out told me I’d be waiting a minimum of five months.

        GM did run out, but the rules changed in 2023, so there is no more cap. GM and Tesla get the incentives again.

        Am wondering if the new ones can actually fit someone who is 6 feet tall in the back seat without them having to hunch over

      That’d be fine if I didn’t have 3 kids with car seats! I need a soccer mom vehicle.

        Sometimes those little cars can have more room than you realize. My wife used to drive a prius c and it had more room than my mid sized sedan. Not sure about the bolt, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it has plenty of room when the motor takes up less room than a gasoline engine.
