Chevrolet’s upcoming affordable electric car looks like it will beat the Tesla Model 3 to market and over the long haul.

The automaker says the Chevy Bolt boasts an EPA-rated range of 238 miles per charge, while Tesla claims the Model 3 should go about 215 miles, although that number could be higher when the car makes it into production.

The Bolt also has a longer range than the current entry-level Tesla Model S, which can cover 210 miles per charge but costs about $28,500 more.

I can't brag to my friends I own a Tesla though?

What's the point?

Does the model 3 drive itself?

That's a pretty big feature

Interior of a base '17 Volt reeks of cheap GM, I'll bet Bolt will look similar?

So the company that the Goverment bailed out is going to put the company that the government props up out of business?

Is the tesla 3 just a pure electric drive? No on board generator or engine to recharge the batteries?

Unlike Tesla, it doesn't look like a car I would want to drive.

Why do most electric cars look like absolute shite?

They don't have to.

Same with the Prius. Although, you can get popular models in hybrid trim. However, they typically come with all the other bells and whistles to make it very expensive.
