Despite not buying the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV (more on why later), everyone I dealt with (phone / Internet Sales, Receptionist, Saleman (Alonzo T.) And the Sales Manager were very prompt, polite, helpful and responsive.
Before driving 30, or so miles (betater than 36), one way, I've seen photos of the 2022 Bolt EUV. And, the 2 colors I was looking at were Silver Flare (not in stock, but at a sister dealership), and Grey Ghost.
Sadly, in person, the Grey Ghost color was darker than I wanted (the website picture looked lighter than it actually is). And, I was considering the Silver Flare, but it would be 48 hours before it could be delivered (though they do have at-home delivery).
And, while the EUV is comfortable (much better support vs the pre-2021 Bolt) to drive, from a safety standpoint (speaking as a former Driving Instructor for nearly 14 years), I didn't like the size, location and operations of the brake lights.
On at least one of the Forums for the Bolt, I read several posts on how one poster has been nearly rear-ended 2x. And, another actually got a ticket (in Nevada) for the brake lights being too low; not funny, but I still LoL at it.
Despite the hatch mounted fixtures that look like taillights, the actual brake lights / turn signal and 4-way Emergency flashers are located in the bumper, about 25 inches of the ground, which is within regulations.
But, the 2" x 6" size, and being located in the bumper, is, for me, too dangerous (besides inattentive drivers, drivers tend to look directly ahead. And, based on the Forum posts of being rear-ended, I decided, from a safety standpoint, not to buy the vehicle. :-(
Though for sure, once I decided not too, there was a noticeable difference in attitude (negative) from the Sales staff. Hence, the 4 Star rating.
