They were not but the precedent has been set and takeaways are hard.

I happen to agree that they should not have been used for this purpose. But they have been so I am going to continue to take...

2025 seems a bit...

There are so many Volts here in Palo Alto, CA, now (in addition to PIPs, Focus EVs, Teslas, etc) that it's getting very, very hard to get time at the 5 subsidized chargers in the downtown parking...

I suspect that turning off Auto Defog will prevent this, too.

I've been seeing the same problem and I recently turned on Auto Defog. Coincidence? Probably not.

I lost one sticker on the grey plastic within a week of installing them.

I'd recommend putting them on the paint instead, which is what I should have done in the first place.

A console shifter? Really?

So GM. Sigh.

No one buys a Cadillac for utility.

I agree that moving the platform upmarket for the time being makes a lot of sense. It's a lot easier to justify the price premium at Cadillac levels than Chevy...

Auto-up windows have obstruction sensors so you don't run out of friends. :)

I've already lost one of my stickers on the grey plastic. I'd recommend putting them on the paint, which is what I'd do if I could do it over again.

Well, for example, here in California we:

a) Have hills. Big ones. And we park on them.
b) Don't use much road salt.

Really sorry to hear that. I also had a very good experience with Kurt. Totally painless, no BS.

Exactly right - straightforward, no games. Good guy.

Hellz yeah. I wanted black but ended up taking a red car because I wanted an HOV sticker yesterday.

All else being equal, I'd buy a blue one now with white or black being a second choice.

And...

Nice.

Tell them to:

a) pay the $15 expedite fee when they file
b) keep checking with the DMV to see if the plate # has been assigned yet, then give it to you when it has

Sheesh.

An all-around good guy and a painless purchase experience when I bought my HOV 2012 in March. Definitely a step above the typical car buying...

I do regular IKEA runs for new desks for our startup with the Volt. It's incredible how much flat-packed cheap MDF furniture you can fit back there. :)
