I loved the finance section of the video that took 5 seconds and did it on an app, instead of the 30 minute beat down I get in a finance office at a traditional dealership lol, I think since you are such a good salesperson and we see that we should also see how finance is handled at your dealership

Very cool of you Dave to show how the competitors are going about their business. Always good to keep an open mind and an open set of eyes about what is happening in your industry.

I became a big "Dave B sells Chevy" fan and subscriber when I was interested in buying a Bolt. A sequence of events led me to buy a Tesla Model 3 instead. 1. Bolt became eligible for $7.5K tax credit. 2. Bolts became hard to find in Calif. 3. Dealers adding higher "market adjustments" to Bolts. 4. Tesla dropped prices significantly. 5. Tesla became eligible for full tax credit. My Tesla scares my wife, "it's too technical"!, she would be happy with a Bolt.

Congrats on your Tesla ! And congrats to me too I bought a new 2024 Chev 2500 LT Diesel Duramax . Dark Ash . 6 seater leather . I love it . Soon we will be investing into a travel trailer.

I love how you post the day you film! Keep it up Dave! Love the great work as always! And love how honest you’re with the Tesla and everything!

Similar experience I had in the purchase of my Model Y back in May. Very simple buying process. Great job Dave scoping out the competition that does things differently than a traditional car dealership.

Thanks again Dave for always being there for my last four car purchases. Appreciate it.

Congratulations Christian on your new purchase. Happy motoring!

Interesting. Factual. You two look happy going through the experience 😊

Congratulations! Welcome to the Tesla family!🚘

Congrats Chris! And ty Dave for showing a very different buying experience. Cause of the approach of the Schumaker Livingston crew and Dave’s videos, I will be taking delivery of my Bolt EUV this week from Crazy Eddie! I initially tried to get a EUV from 2 dealers near me and the early experiences were less than welcoming and easy. Not so since day 1 from this dealership… This video is another example of the difference in experience with Dave and rest of staff

Dave. Thanks for sharing this Tesla review.

i love the increase in videos the last few weeks !!! Keep it up Dave !

Welcome to the family. I am on my 4th Tesla MX. I am definitely a Tesla fan boy.

Congrats! Welcome to the family!

Congratulations man. Hope it works out well for you

Congrats… Welcome to the Family 🎉

Congrats Christian ! Exciting day for you ! 🚗

Congratulations! Just got mine a week ago in Chicago! A Red M3 LR.

Congratulations Christian! Welcome to the Tesla family. We have a 3 & a Y. Awesome ownership experience. Great video as always Dave!

Congratulations!!

Congrats Christian on the Model 3. I have a 2022 model y performance and a 2023 Bolt euv. My euv is for my Uber driving business and the MYP is for family travel. I am sure that you will love it

I LOVE that gray is now the base color! I'm getting one as soon as my lease is up.

Congrats and Dave gutsy move making a video with Chevy’s nemesis. Ipicked up my Model Y from Lawrence and drive by it on the way to work. We also have a 2023 Bolt EUV which is on par with the Tesla for 85% of our driving needs at less than 1/2 the price (1LT $23,100 OTD in Dec 2022). The Tesla drives better, feels more footed(AWD) especially in rain and snow, has more room and faster charging. They are a perfect match in our garage.

Great video and Congrats Chris!!!

Welcome to the family Christian! The only thing keeping me from another model Y might be the Silverado EV!

Congratulations 🎉

Nice video! I love Teslas. One of my favorite cars.

Congratulations!🍾🎊🎉

Congrats on your new Tesla. Enjoy.

DaveB, I like the new content of some of the recent videos. Keep it up

Congratulations!! Great Looking car!!

Super cool that you're open-minded and curious about these other brands like Tesla. Great video!

Awesome thanks again for the opportunity to see .

Congrats Christian! Direct to consumer is the only way to go.

Congratulations Christian. Thanks Dave for being open minded about a different way to purchase a car.

That is awesome love the tesla cars my wife and I test drove a 18 Tesla model 3 and we loved it

I’m happy for anyone to get a new vehicle. Congrats to him. I just can’t see why people love these things so much. I’ll stay with my Chevy.

Hey Dave, I bought the same Tesla model 3 RWD 2 months ago. I was waiting on the Chevy Equinox EV, but when Tesla dropped the price and the car got the full tax credit, I couldn’t resist buying the car. I would have considered the Bolt EUV, but I want a better road tripper. The charging infrastructure for Tesla right now is a big advantage. I’m in Wayne NJ and took a road trip to Asheville NC and back it was as easy as can be. No charging problems or range Anxiety. Congratulations Christian I’m sure you know what a fun car it is to drive. Enjoy it.

Congrats Christian, already subscribed to you. Dave, I have already subscribe and have been very impressed with your videos. Even topics that I didn't think I would be interested in have been worth the watch. Keep up the good work. PS. My wife and I have been driving primarily Chevy Bolts since late 2017. They have been great cars for us but I am envious of the Tesla charging Network and the easy buying experience. If Tesla offered something that was closer in size and shape to the Bolt at a similar price, and a less contraversial CEO we would be all over it. Support for vehicle to grid an awd option and an official tow rating, even if pretty small would be the icing on the cake.

Great video! Congratulations to Christian on his new computer with wheels! 😊

Congratulations! I think I remember him from a previous video with your previous Bolt

Congratulations Christian !

Had a lot of interest in buying an F150 Lightning but didn’t want to put a deposit down on a truck and then be subject to the mercy of the dealer and market adjustments fees of $10,000 and other dealers add-ons. The no nonsense approach to buying a Tesla is just so straight forward. Does anyone ever want pay for window etching? To answer your question Dave about will you have a job in a direct model. Honest and straight shooters like yourself will always add value and have jobs in the industry. I have never owned a Chevy, but watching your videos certainly makes me want to buy a car from you.

Amazing content keep it up, you earned a subscribe 💯

I’m a Chevy guy and was really considering the Tesla before I got my Bolt EUV. At the time the price was just a bit to out of range, but man are they fast. They’re cool looking, but I prefer the inside of the bolt believe it or not. Congrats either way!

Congratulations, I have a Bolt EV and a Tesla and love the Tesla much more. The technology is years ahead of GM and the buying experience is so less stressful

My wife and I purchased a Model X last December and it took 27 mins to complete the deal. We just got back from a 1500 mile roadtrip to Texas in it. Welcome to the Tesla family bro 👊🏻

Great job 🎉

Dave B Sells Chevy. Tesla, buyer edition

Got the same car for my son. 30% tint all the way around looks soo good

Nice job Dave. Christian, congrats. Liked that you guys checked out the (missing) gaps. As a Bolt leasee, I only say that my lease price is cheaper than my cell phone bill…doubtful same can be said for a Tesla lease.

Congratulations

Congrats on your new Tesla, Christian. Good luck with it. Dave, don’t you wish our Bolts had the same fast charging capability? I know I do.

Thanks for giving all information,really appreciate bro. Can you please tell about final price?intrest rate? Financing? Everything related to money

The thing is I am concerned about is when you just through bankruptcy can even try to get a Tesla. I am trying to get into a new car currently I am looking into a Bolt EUV but again I am concerned if I could even get approved I understand that interest rates are going to be crazy and I also understand a downpayment is going to be required but what drivers me crazy no one talks about it and no one posts any videos on how to get approval. Great video and congratulations on your new purchase

Last winter After shopping for a Mach e and finding them all marked up, got a Tesla and it was such an easy process.

Beautiful tesla congrats.

cool video. great model for tesla to go direct to consumers, but dealers will always have a home. too many in the country with too many car hungry customers.

Congrats Christian on your new Tesla. Dave I still like chevy's better. Great content.

I have a 22 M3 dual motor, it’s been a great fast appliance. Good for commuting and around town shit. Other than that. It’s been an easy ownership experience. They are doing a makeover for the M3 soon.

Seems to me that that really IS a dealership... just with some services moved onto an app. And yes, Dave, that looked like a whole lot of Teslas waiting for service. I'm not drinking that Kool-Aid, but good luck to your friend.

Would like to see you do a review of the Tesla. Maybe compare with the BOLT

I guess an alternate title for this video could've been: Dave B Doesn't Sell a Chevy.

Love my #Bolt

The Tesla Gallery reminds of an Apple Store. Not like a ICB dealer. A lot of the problems that people have with the traditional store do not seem to apply here. Maybe this is the future but I don't see the traditional dealers changing. But that is what they used to say about shopping malls. Maybe Tesla is the new Saturn store?

Saturn dealerships tried to do the no haggle thing years ago.

Great content Dave, but we never solved the mystery of all of those in state tagged Teslas out back?

Hey Dave! My family and I bought that White Chevrolet Tahoe Premier 2023. Could you make a video going over the Tahoe or Suburban , I saw you did one on the suburban but it doesn’t have specific things on the buttons and on the full system. One main thins is what the -L+ is for on the gear shifter

How do they work a trade-in, if you have one?

Boosting the algorithm

The future is here Today!

They "welcomed you to the 'family'" Aka. The Cult. Congrats for now being like most other EV cars. I still hate how Teslas have not changed a bit since day 1.

They all look the same to me. If you seen one you’ve seen them all. I’m not hating it’s all about what you want in a car. Glad you can get what you want 🎉

Dave, How was it sitting in the Tesla compared to the Bolt?

If I ever bought a Tesla I’d get a Model X plaid

You’re a good guy im sure you would well in any industry, but we really don’t need sales people for brand new cars. Maybe used cars still need sales. But brand new should be sold at MSRP. No hassle. The dealer lobby is pretty strong so in sure you have nothing to worry about.

DTC is the way to go

Dave, isn't it time for you to give an update on the Blazer EV? They are supposed to be shipping cars to dealers for demos.

Love your contents but come to think about it....if everyone is paying MSRP or above MSRP at your and other Chevy dealerships then what is the point of salespersons or the need of a dealership?

@Dave B sells Chevy: we’re you able to charge your Bolt while you waited?

How much was the final payment ?

hey brother i got hired at a chevrolet dealership! one worry is product knowledge i know the basics about vehicles but do you have any advice on how to know how to use all the cool features should i study the vehicles if so how would you go about doing that

I currently have a Model 3, but when the 2024 Equinox EV comes out I am going to give it a HARD look because of the availability of V2H (Vehicle to Home) bi-directional charging.....Tesla is making a BIG mistake to not have that option IMHO. Maybe you can talk about this when it comes out?

While there are big pluses to the Tesla buying process, there are also downsides. You won’t be subject to packs and dealer markup, but you don’t see dealer competition either. In addition, service is totally locked down by Tesla. This also reduces competition outside of the warranty period. Traditional car companies and dealers should learn from Tesla and they ignore them at their peril. However, Tesla is not Nirvana, and there are many horror stories about Teslas arrogance. Hubris will likely hit both Tesla as well as traditional companies that do not evolve to more customer friendly, transparent experiences. Thanks for doing the video!

I might be odd man out here but I really did not enjoy the Tesla delivery experience. Buying a car should feel like a life event and the delivery experience should make you feel special. I think they could learn a lot from the luxury car delivery experience provided by competitors like Lexus, bmw, Mercedes(it’s a premium car after all). Improvements would be doing a demonstration of the car’s features. I am a stock holder and this criticism comes from a constructive place. We went to mount kisco, it was mobbed with people, we had to wait in a crowded dealership and the Tesla employees were not attentive. Then they handed us paperwork to sign. This was all while an irate customer was returning her lease screaming at the Tesla employees 4ft away(they did not think to pull her aside to try to calm her down) and actually help her. Then after our paperwork was signed we had to find our car and they said you can just drive it away.

What glasses are those??

You mean... No 4-Square? No getting drilled in F&I? No "Market Adjustments" and dealer add-ons? Who would have thought people hate all that?

Congrats on the car! What happened with comment of the day?

Thats why they say us is the best contry in the world an i agree

Didn’t seem like a nicer personal experience that I’d have experienced at Schumacher…no Tesla employee came outside to do a vehicle walkthrough that I’d have expected when purchasing a Chevrolet vehicle.

Consumers should be allowed to purchase cars directly from the manufacturer. You don’t need a middleman to up the price and add things that you don’t need like paint protection etc. Shopping for a car should be like buying an appliance, you have a set price. Any extra features could be added on and you would have a vehicle you want shipped directly to you.

@Dave B -- Didn't I just tell you this a week ago with how EASY it is to buy a Tesla? 🙂 However, my experience I didn't even have to talk to Tesla when I got there. I already had my [phone] Key. Get in car and drive away.

👏👏❤

So easy, even a caveman can do it 😉

What kind of friend is he, if he didn't buy a Chevy and from you? Lol

Dave is realizing his days are numbered.

I’ll admit the games we play at some dealerships are a pain but nothing like getting a boring looking car. Color, style. Biggest benefit is the bigger charging network. Not a huge problem for me since I never plan on leaving my 200 mile radius with the #Bolt

"Stereotype" more like facts.

Where are the motor, 12-volt battery, fluid receptacles, & etc.? You didn't even check! What did it cost?
