Doesn't that mean the marketplace has already answered this question?
Yes, it's dead and production ended:

Re: the tax credit comments, yeah, probably that has a lot to do with it. Looking at the sales charts at
https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/, perhaps they looked at the numbers and figured they were at too much of a disadvantage with the tax credit going to $3750 on April 1, 2019 then $1875 on Oct 1 and 0 beginning April 1, 2020. Toyota and Honda have a long way to go before their tax credit amounts go down.
I'm afraid that same thing can happen to Bolt.
https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/com ... orion.html where Bolt is built is only running a single shift. If you look at their truck and SUV plants (I haven't checked them all), those seem to be running 3 shifts.
So yeah, anyway, once Volt inventory dwindles... the thread title will be true for a very long time.
