I know my taste is unusual (after all, I like manuals) but I like the Bolt. I like hatchbacks - I can't stand sedans. If I can put an office chair in my hatchback, and it doesn't fit in a sedan, I want the sedan.
The Model 3 is, all-around, very unusual to be a car that appears exotic, but costs much less. Of course, it's being "paid for by purchases of the Model S and Model X," which means... at some scale (i.e. 500k+) Tesla is clearly losing money on the exotic sheet metal.
On the other hand, GM is building a car they can sell, and it won't be a bad business model.
Of course, since the masses love sedans, the 3 will easily outsell the Bolt anyway... but all of this will be a turbulent footnote to a different future where electric cars are commonplace. Neither of these cars will be the most popular electric cars on the road 10 years from now.
