Tesla's more or less take over on the freeway. They are also on their way to mastering traffic lights.

Tesla's are the safest cars on the road now.
Sure and I’m on my way to mastering Russian Roulette. Until I actually get there though you might not want to sell me life insurance.
There are some things where being “on the way” to mastery is worse than nothing, and propelling a two ton object at a red light is one of those things.
Eh, I imagine that depends on how actively you use the autopilot and auto unpark features. I know they don't want to cede the frontrunner status of that technology, but it still feels like a risky gambit for tesla and for its customers.

I have no use for an infotainment system in any vehicle (give me a hotspot and I'll bring my own devices). I disliked the Tesla center mounted tablet console dashboard, though that's subjective.
I don't think the Tesla drives itself, does it? That was not a factor for me, and if anything would be a mild negative at the current level of self-driving tech maturity. At any rate, the Bolt had some useful driver assist packages for safety, though they are upgrades. I think they both have fairly similar safety ratings. And speed isn't a consideration for me, as long as it goes fast enough for highway. Nor is appearance, within reason.
I really am thrilled for Tesla's success and don't think there is a "right car" but a "right car for you". The Bolt is a good car, though.
