First Chevrolet Bolt about to be delivered in Canada

Almost two months ago, I wrote that My 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV has a Targeted Production Week.

Today, Myers Orleans Chev Buick GMC‘ Sales and Leasing Consultant Stéphane Paquet confirmed that my Bolt EV has its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).  General Motors Orion Assembly 30 miles north of Detroit has completed the production of my Red Cajun Bolt EV.  A few more weeks and it will be in my driveway.

GM has production codes for each and every event for an order.  My Order Workbench mentions :

• Event Code 1100 – Order Placed at Dealership – November 9 2016
• Event Code 1102 – Order Entered via Web – November 9 2016
• Event Code 2000 – Order Accepted by GM – November 14 2016
• Event Code 2500 – Order Preferenced, Sent to Production – November 15 2016
• Event Code 3000 – Order Accepted by Production Control – November 16 2016
• Event Code 3100 – Available to Sequence – December 14 2016
• Event Code 3300 – Schedule for Production – December 15 2016
• Event Code 3400 – Broadcast – December 16 2016
• Event Code 3800 – Produced – January 5 2017

• Event Code 4150 – Original Invoice – January 9 2017
• Event Code 4B00 – Bayed – January 9 2017

Peter Miller from Vancouver BC has confirmed on Chevy Bolt EV Interest Facebook group  that the Order Workbench confirms his Bolt has a VIN.

We also know that Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon QC has 2 Bolt EV with the same Targeted Production Week.  We can deduct that at least four BOLT EV are ready to be delivered in Canada.

Yannic Asselin, Bourgeois Chevrolet’s EV Sales Representative confirmed that ”Every canadian Bolt that have been produced last week are in quality control.  4B00 Bayed, vehicle is waiting on transportation or pulled for quality control.”

Will GM Canada deliver the very first Bolt EV in Canada at the Montreal International Auto Show from January 20 to 27 ?

The question remains.  Who will have the very first 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV in Canada ?
