Ok... What the Model 3 was intended to be??? First thing, cheap? The Bolt starts at $37,495. Straight from GM's website. That is pretty much the same as the Mo

First thing, cheap? The Bolt starts at $37,495. Straight from GM's website. That is pretty much the same as the Model 3.
Electric, check. But with the Bolt, you are maxed out at 238 miles EPA range. With the model 3, your base is higher and if needed you can get over 300+, I believe the EPA just rated it out somewhere in the 320's for the Long range version. Perfect.
I think you are one of the few who would call the Bolt "slick", especially in relation to Tesla, but to each their own.
Rides excellent.. yeah, the Model 3 does that well, see MotorTrend's review even.. [1]
Parallel parking manually... that's cute. Model 3 does it autonomously.
I'm pretty lost on where you think the Model 3 fell short of expectations and isn't what it was intended to be?
To top it off, I just checked 5 Chevy dealers around me locally (I'm in the third largest metro in the U.S.) and not one had a Bolt in inventory. I have actually never seen one on the roads either. So the "you can get it today" argument is very limited to only a few markets... and that is a maybe.
Don't forget that the Chevy Bolt is also a compliance car. I'm sure the quality and engineering time put into it was top-notch.
