Chevy Bolt, Hyundai Kona, or Tesla Model 3 (in state vs. out of state)?

I’m confused, what’s this $2500 dealer cash?

For a purchase, all I see posted on dealer websites and Edmunds incentives page is $4500 + $2000 that everyone gets plus $1500 in Lease Loyalty for current GM leases for $8000 total.

Why did the dealer discount the car versus applying the $2500 dealer cash?

I think I’m going to try and recreate your deal, I have a 2017 Bolt that is already over mileage on the lease.

I have no idea. They are applying it on my deal as well, but it isn’t advertised anywhere. Maybe if the dealer sells a certain amount of cars, they can offer more rebates?

*** UPDATE ***
So I figured out what the dealer rebate is. The manufacture gives that money to the dealer as a hidden reimbursement for sales of certain models and/or if the dealer sells a certain amount of cars. It isn’t published to anywhere except dealers.
