Everyone in the US Can Now Buy a Chevrolet Bolt
Why wait for the Tesla Model 3?
Chevrolet is trying to get ahead of the competition, with the all-new Nissan Leaf being introduced and the Tesla Model 3 around the corner. As the first affordable long-range electric car, the Bolt is now available nationwide in the U.S. with a starting price of $37,495 including destination. That’s also before federal tax incentives up to $7,500.
Through August 30, 2017, the American automaker has sold 11,670 Bolt EVs this year, and 12,249 since the start of sales in December 2016.

So the article says the Chevy Bolt is now available in the US. They ask the question "why wait for a Tesla 3 when you can buy a Bolt now." Put the two cars side by side. They are both similar in price but the Bolt is godawful ugly compared to the Tesla Model 3! If it looked anything like the new Volt I would say yeah but the Bolt looks like a box on wheels. No Thanks!
