David sez >Bolt's first delivery was on 13 December< That is 30 days ago, and GM said their Sonic-ice/Bolt-EV manufacturing line (& crew) can produce 100 Bolt EVs per day. So potentially, that would be 3000 Bolts that could have been made? Well no. Lets assume, the crew works 5 days a week. In the above 30 days of 4 weeks (1 week off for the holidays), that is 20 days of 100 Bolt EVs each, or 2000.
I have read many, many Bolt EV news items, and only a few have had enough meat to warrant posting to the evdl. Still during these slow news days while our world is being over turned with donald's nominations taking over ... [OT warning: An Exxon oil rep as Russia's Manchurian candidate for Sec-o-state? https://www.google.com/search?q=nomination+Exxon+oil%2FRussia%27s+Manchurian+candidate https://www.google.com/search?q=Rex+Tillerson+electric+vehicles (he's anti-EV) /OT] ... in a news item (likely I'll post soon, as I do not want to saturate the evdl with one type of EV), it said, the GM crew does not build Bolt EVs each day (lets assume, 50% of their time is Sonic-ice, and 50% Bolt EV). That would at best cut that 2000 to 1000 Bolt EVs in those 20 days. Also, the Dec 13 deliveries were to GM dealers in CA and OR. No one seems to be saying how many Bolt EVs were delivered to Lyft, political-favorites, etc. Lets say Lyft took a good size chunk of the Bolt EVs that the crew made. So, 579 Bolt EVs delivered to CA& OR dealerships isn't really isn't out of the question if the above assumptions were close to true. I am not saying the Bolt crew has been lax (they may have had parts shortages, rework changes, etc.). But in another Bolt EV item I will be posting, GM's current view is to be conservative (leave the consumer hungry for Bolt EVs) rather than trying to satisfy consumer demand like Tesla is working hard to do. GM is still a totally different beast than the benevolence they portray themselves to be in the media. At least GM is producing Bolt EVs far better than Honda produced their 'hand-made' Fit EVs (very slow in getting in the hands of the consumer).
