The Bolt is not priced the same as the Model 3. Examples:

MSRP is exactly the same as Model 3. The fact that they have to offer them 40% off MSRP because no one wants them isn't a good thing.

And yet, miraculously, the Bolt is cheaper.

The Bolt is the best value for money EV in the world at the moment. It's untouchable in price for range.

Sure, it is cheaper in the same way everything at a going out of business sale is cheaper.

Recognizing traffic lights is worth more than the cost difference.

As someone whose car recognizes traffic lights (though not with perfect accuracy), it is the most useless feature I've ever seen. Right along with recognizing garbage cans. I would not pay a dime extra for the visualizations, especially since they're quite inaccurate in many cases. So, many, cones, even when there aren't really any cones.

Does it stop for traffic lights and start for green?
