Your Model 3 also cost ~$15k more than my bolt. Possibly even more since I was able to get out the door for $25k before taxes and ~$2k tax refund.

The Tesla competitor to the Bolt is not the Model 3 Long Range, it is the Model 3 SR with ~250 miles of range. The 2020 Bolt beats the Model 3 SR in terms of both range and price.

MSRP on the 2020 bolt is $36,620. How were you were able to talk them down $10k on the price?

I honestly don't know. I got a 2019 at the end of this year right before the 2020's were released. I had found a couple decent deals on Hyundai Konas, which still have the full federal tax credit, and when I pointed this out to the Chevy dealer they came back with a significant amount of dealer cash back.

In the end I got $9k off from the dealer and $2k off from a Maine-exclusive tax credit that is related to VW's emissions fraud settlement.

I think I just got really lucky.

I wish I could upvote you again. Your response was really good and exactly what I wanted to know. I have no idea why you're being downvoted. :(

Thanks for the sentiment. I assume it has something to do with speaking favorably about an EV vehicle that isn't a Tesla while in a Tesla thread.
