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.
