Really? Can you actually get them at MSRP in any decent amount of time?

And is that federal? I thought Chevy ran out of their tax incentives...

Not as of last January when I tried to buy one. I was able to test drive one and found it acceptable but it was the only one available, it was significantly over MSRP (it was Premier trim, so >$35k) and I could order one but they flat out told me I'd be waiting a minimum of five months.

GM did run out, but the rules changed in 2023, so there is no more cap. GM and Tesla get the incentives again.
