    If they had decent range ones for just a bit cheaper…

    It’s minimum like $30k right now and that’s just too much for most

    Plus a lot of people still don’t have anywhere to charge them.

    Otherwise I’d have liked to have gotten one

        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.
