Hey everybody!
Just joined.
I'm one of *many*, to say the least, who is in line to get a Tesla Model 3, but I do like most of what I see about the Bolt!
Obviously, the Bolt has the Model 3 beat in terms of immediate availability (although neither is available yet here in Austin, TX), and I also really like that it supports Apple CarPlay. However, there are two main areas where it appears the Model 3 will have the Bolt beat: Charging Station availability, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) functionality. I have questions about its ADAS features.
For example, I've heard conflicting reports as to whether the Bolt has Automatic Emergency Braking as *even an added-cost option*, let alone standard equipment. I know it has a braking alert system (to warn *you* to brake), but I'm not clear whether a system wherein *it* will hit the brakes for me if I don't, is available.
I've also heard conflicting reports as to how well the Bolt's Lane-Departure-Warning/Steering Assistance system works on curvy roads.
Anybody, especially current owners, have any comments on either of these ADAS systems in the Bolt?
