Why are people not hyped about the bolt as much as they are about 3? It looks like a comparable car which is available now, instead of in 2019.

It's a GM, so it looks like it was made to appear in a Transformers movie and people trust a largely unproven manufacturer like Tesla to make something more reliable.

There is no fast charging network to support the Bolt. The supercharger network is a huge competitive advantage for Tesla.

You are right, I personally think the Bolt is a great entrant and worthy of a very close look.

Good timing: http://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-model-3-chevrolet-bolt-...

People seem pretty enthused about it in meatspace, if not online.
