Have fun bro! Not really feeling like responding to a person that does not read his own articles he quotes either! Happy New Year!

You just spent all the time defending the bolt? "Also, if you look for non-us sources on YouTube, modern Bolt has very good reviews."

Anyways, ill just continue to drive my tesla that has offset 2 years of depreciation and still over the MRSP I paid over it lol. If I woulda tried saving the extra 5k and got a bolt, I would be in the hole by more than 11k lol.

My point is there theres better EVs there, dont defend the bolt. Its not even worth it as a free car, feels less reliable than a civic with 180k miles on it, youtube pundits aside.

Both things can be true, tesla prices fall, bolt prices fell much further. Just pissing in the wind at this point.

Edit: Just read the article that I doubt you read yourself. A 1/3 of all 2022 teslas are on the market, implying there are an extra ordinary amount of flippers that were making a killing artificially propping up the used car prices. This is going to stabilize the market after they are pushed out, similar to the GPU markets.

My original point still stands, which you keep ignoring. A bolt is a dogshit car to drive, and your opinion will change once you actually get to drive one. No point in spending your time defending the bolt out of all cars lol, there are better cars that you can advocate for in the EV world. Please drive the bolt yourself.

7500 off when the price has increased by 7500 in the last few months is just coming back down to earth. The original tax credits that tesla qualified for once upon a time were 7500 as well.

Just checked, the 2021 bolt is now worth less than its original MRSP, and the 2021 equivalent model 3 is still well above the MSRP I paid for, and I have essentially driven for 2 years for free without a loss in value. I am trying to understand your point.

Try test driving a bolt yourself. If *no one* is buying teslas, then im sure *extra no one* is buying a bolt lol.

The bolt loosing value and Tesla retaining value is enough of a reason to go with the Tesla, will lead to less money lost overall.

And my opinion still stands, the bolt is one of the worst feeling cars I have ever driven, ICE or EV. It feels so underpowered that the cost savings just isn’t worth it.

This was before several years of price hikes. At the time, the two cars were only several thousand apart and the tesla actually appreciated in value, unlike the equivalent bolt.

Model 3 is a great car (despite the shit you see all over reddit these days), and the bolt is dog shit. I have driven bolt and switched to the model 3 and never looked back. With state credits I got my car for about ~36k, which was not that much higher than the bolt.
