What makes the Model 3 "nice" in a way that the Bolt isn't?

The Model 3 is just cashing in on the fact that it's cool to drive a Telsa. If the same exact car came from Toyota, then the response would be exactly as it is for the Bolt: "eh, it's not a Telsa." And probably mention of how awful the interior looks.

Toyota doesn't have a supercharger network or autopilot. The Model 3 is a pretty nice looking car, at least on the exterior. The interior leaves some things to be desired, but the extra features offered by Tesla seal the deal. The one thing that bothers me about Tesla is how much control they have over your car that you bought.
