Hey Jo,
Yes, it includes tax at 7.75%, and license and fees. As Ethan typed out in italicized font a few posts up on this thread, the numbers he provided are based on a tax rate 7.75%. Heās succinctly goes on to mention he doesnāt post clickbait specials that most folks like us wonāt qualify for or arenāt inclusive of taxes, fees, and reg.
If 7.75% isnāt the tax rate in your area, you can search for his earlier posts where he provides figures excluding tax (and add on taxes based on your zipcode and where you reside), or do a back of the envelope calculation to deduct tax from Ethanās figures inclusive of a 7.75% tax rates few posts and add your tax rate.
Please use the search feature and search for EthanRS and Bolt mania. Ethan has provided tremendous value and answered many questions to get a majority of folks the most competitive deals on Bolts, and provide ball park numbers for the masses. Letās let him do what he does best which is sales and car deals, and we can use the answers he has provided to make a decision and get on his waiting list (or monitor this space for when the Bolts come in). Itās not feasible, nor should we expect him, to calculate payments to the penny for prospects and everyone who reaches out to him - not the best use of his time.
I am waiting just like you and everyone else for the 55 Bolts he ordered to come in and then take it from there. All the best!

Did you end up receiving an approval?
Not yetā¦
Anyone getting a response back from him? I know heās out and wanted some ETA on when new bolts are arriving. He has stopped returning my texts, so I am unsure if heās just too busy or just ignoring my texts.
Probably ignoring you as he already posted heās sold out and also answered your questions.

You said it yourself āI know heās outā
Give the guy a break - would you want hassled constantly on your PTO/day off?
He can sling these bolts all day long but needs a break once in a while. Especially when thereās no stock right now and they ship whenever they ship (I.e arrive at dealer with no warning) as stated elsewhere in the thread.

Fair enough, guess Iām being a little impetuous. I must of missed that with all the posts in the last week or so.
Just thinking from the perspective of the dealer employee, it sounds tedious to maintain a waitlist and to call/email/message everyone whoās previously expressed interest ā but may no longer be interested ā once a new unit becomes available.
I can see why Ethan would rather post cars here as they become available. By using the āwatchā function on this thread, youāll get notifications whenever thereās a new post.

*onepay is caclulated on 7.75% tax as posting it plus tax would throw people off (onepay taxes are weird in the way they are calculated)

While all the sanitizer now smells like bathtub gin, it doesnāt go down nearly as smoothly as bathtub gin. Iām sure BevMo could suggest something too.
Iāve kept me eye on this thread for a few weeks. Most often when someone has asked a question about Bolt deals, the answer was AT MOST 4 messages above their post.
If you arenāt jumping on his Red LT that just arrived, (for everyone) spend the time you would contacting Ethan a 2nd/3rd time scrolling back to be sure the answer you are waiting on isnāt already posted.

Update
To those reaching out, we do have Bolts in stock but leasehackr deals are currently on hold due to a member railing us on the survey because our finance manager pitched excess wear. GSM isnāt thrilled so trying to work it out.
