They picked up the roof in the morning at Tesla and then came to my house to replace the glass. It took him about two hours. The car can be driven right away.
Yes I watched him do it. No pictures sorry.Did you watch them replace it? Would be interesting to see the process if you have any pictures!

Wait how is it economical? I just noticed they lose full tax credit also. I configured a Bolt LT to roughly match an SR+, and it costs $38915 with manufacturer rebate - a bit more expensive than $38700 SR+! The dealer has to offer quite a MASSIVE dealer rebate to convince me from the performance, styling, charging network, among other benefits of SR+.Bolt is far more economical choice.

Now that they, too, have begun to lose the tax credit, I don't believe it's true anymore. But, buying a Bolt before April 2019- if you could find a dealer willing to offer deep discounts off MSRP was the opportunity that I was referring to....and the one I chose to pass on...Wait how is it economical?

Oh I see. It has 4-star safety rating also (though admittedly only due to rear seats safety). So with all those combined quite likely I would also still get my SR+ even if I carefully checked and found such a deal...Now that they, too, have begun to lose the tax credit, I don't believe it's true anymore.

NOBODY in their right mind is paying MSRP on a Bolt now or anytime this year.Wait how is it economical? I just noticed they lose full tax credit also.

So, for me, take about $37,300 (not including tax and license but already including delivery) minus $7,500 Federal tax credit --> just under $30K for a Premier trim w/DC FC inlet, driver confidence II and infotainment package (better stereo + some other stuff). My Bolt's silver (my 1st color choice), so there's no extra charge for that. This was at end of Jan 2019 when tax credit on GM vehicles was still $7500 and there was NO SR nor SR+ 3 yet.I ended up buying a heavily discounted '19 Bolt (over $6K off MSRP) at end of Jan 2019. Was way cheaper with the $7500 Federal tax credit than a MR 3 ($44K back then, IIRC) + $2K for a color I found acceptable minus $3750 Federal tax credit. (Yes, I'm well aware of 3 vs. Bolt advantages and disadvantages. There were other numerous shortcomings/features I wanted/design decisions I don't like on the 3 that haven't been addressed.)
I was my second choice and if I wasn't isn't interested road trips or had another ICE to drive I might well have got one. But since I only have one car I needed a car that could go anywhere.Bolt is far more economical choice. Love my Tesla though
Just got an estimate for $1,212.39 (from Tesla Service Center, in CA).Anyone had to have the top roof glass section replaced and willing to share the cost?
Rock hit mine today and cracked it. Will check into a repair, but feeling like it will need to be replaced.
New cars are damage magnets, but I've never had so many things happen to a new car.
BuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurnSo if you have a Bolt and don't have a Tesla, why are you posting here?
How much to fix the swath of white on the side?
