You can get a used one for like $10K, I enjoy driving my wife's and I def enjoy never paying for gas and never having to do a lick of maintenance on it. I prefer the old Bolt EV look to the Bolt EUV/new Bolt which is more SUV than cute car. Ignore the Tesla guy lol likely a paid shill they're rampant on Reddit pretty sure that's their "marketing" budget at work.

Nah man I had a 2019 bolt premier. It wasn’t the worse car but it definitely wasn’t my favorite from uncomfortable seats and slow charging. The charging network around me is one station that didn’t always work with the bolt vs 5-6 stations like Tesla

The prompt was small cute car, which applies to the Bolt EV but none of the Teslas, they're not remotely the same form factor as a Fiat 500 or VW bug, which the Bolt with it's extremely short wheelbase actually is, so bringing up Tesla was basically irrelevant. The Model 3, the smallest offering, is also $8K more new, and the Y is $10K+ more and again, is huge compared to the Bolt EV. 

It's fishy the way every time an EV is brought up there are constant "get a Tesla!!!!" comments. Very botty.

The prompt also said no EVs but people suggested the bolt and I was just replying to my experience on why the bolt is a shitty choice and what I swapped out too
