I'm also in the Bay Area and checked with a couple dealerships about pre-orders. Gilroy is not taking Bolt orders or reservations. Capitol San Jose said they are accepting reservations for $500 for "priority on incoming Bolt's" which are expected in December or January.





They wouldn't give details on how many they are getting but if it is based on sales figures, Capitol claims to be the biggest in the area, so I'm considering making a reservation. Click to expand...

Capitol has 110 allocations. Boardwalk has 39. Momentum supposedly has 100. Concord has 30. Stewart has 25. Those were all the ones I talked to who gave me allocation numbers. Momentum and Concord just put my name on a list. Boardwalk & Stewart wanted a $1000 deposit, and Capitol wanted a $500 deposit.Supposedly Stewart is the number one Spark EV dealer in the country. I don't know how much of that was the salesmen blowing smoke. They all seem to claim to be the number one something in the area/state/country for volume sales. But the Stewart guy (Jonathan) was upfront with me about the ordering process, delivery times, etc.I could go down to Capitol and put down a deposit for what I want, but I really don't want to tie up any more of my money for the next month or two at multiple dealerships. If Momentum or Concord call and say they have a Bolt that matches my config before Stewart gets my specific order, I'll think about going with them. Advantage of Stewart is that it's less than 10 minutes from my house. Everything else is half an hour or more away and I don't have any free time on the weekends until January.
