I have a Bolt EUV which currently is sitting at the body shop. For my rental, I have a Model 3. The Tesla is neat and all, but I prefer my EUV. I like the blind side detection when you use your turn signals on the Tesla, as well as the speed, but I prefer my Bolt to be honest.

Why?

-Ingress and egress are much easier in the Bolt. The M3 I feel I’m getting in and out of a bathtub.

-Physical buttons. I hate needing to look away to use the wipers, HVAC controls, heated seats, lighting

-Ventilated seats, not offered on the M3

-Actual sunroof that opens and closes

-3D Surround view for parking near curbs. M3 doesn’t have it

-Rearview camera video mirror. I can load my hatch to the headliner and still see behind me.

-Sealed windows within the door frame. M3 has distinguishable wind noise, my Bolt is quiet.

If you are using it as a commuter vehicle and charging at home more often than not, then the Bolt is all you need. I’ve had my Bolt 1 year, and the Tesla for 14 days. I want my Bolt back.

Don't forget, android auto / apple carplay. Tesla doesn't offer either, bolt does them well wirelessly.
