Good to hear.
It’s possible you will get a premium for your used Volt, as they are
discontinuing it and has a large following.
Everyone I’ve heard from with a Bolt loves it, and there will be many more

No, I’m not Tesla unaware, though not familiar with all the details that you
mention. And I know several very happy owners. I also have a nearby Tesla
“store” at a local mall that I like to visit.
Your own experience would work fine for ME, though my wife may not go for it.

As I understand it, Tesla will drop off the car of your build at your
address to let you test drive it for a week. If you don’t like it, they’ll
