Claiming Tesla quality is not as good as established players is wrong in most regards. Maybe GM built a better frame and maybe the fit and finish is a bit better but thats about it. In terms of battery, electronics, electrical, interial design, software integration, suspention, safty, surounding infrastructure and most other things Tesla is lightyears ahead of the Bolt.
Literllay every single Bolt produced loses about 7000$-10000$. It will not be produced in large not be produced in large numbers for many years at best.
- greglindahl 8y agoThe phrase "compliance car" is generally used to refer only to low-range, lower-priced cars sold only because California forced them to. The Bolt has a much longer range and is higher priced than GM's previous compliance cars.
- nickik 8y agoIts a compliance car because the way the fuel efficiency regulation works requires companies to have a balance of cars. I'm not from the US so I don't really understand it. The Bolt is probably better then other compliance cars because they can see the future as well. Also who would buy those even lower range cars now that there is more competition.
- MrEfficiency 8y agoCareful speaking about things you are unfamiliar with. This does more harm than good.
- nickik 8y agoWhat are you talking about? The regulations are real, even if I don't fully understand how exactly the work. Just because the current 'compliance car' and the Bolt are not the same does not mean its not for many of the same reasons. They did built the Bolt to be able to comply with regulation EVEN while the Bolt itself is losing money per car.
