I'd say that the model 3 is comparable (in price also) to the BMW 320i.

The Chevrolet Bolt is similar in price, but I think somebody making a comparison between a BMW and a Chevy would be similarly mistaken. BMW and Tesla are luxury car manufacturer. Chevrolet isn't.

IMHO, the bolt is overpriced. It's a crossover SUV from a manufacturer that is known for making low cost, high-volume cars. It looks like it is most similar to the Chevy Trax, which starts at $21,000.

I would say a model S has more in common with a mid range Chevy than a luxury car. This will probably be more true with the model 3.

They are fun to drive, but try a Tesla and then a Audi, BMW or Mercedes and it is a different world inside the car.

Tesla is not a luxury car, just a very highly priced and high performance car.

The Bolt is not a crossover SUV. It's a compact hatchback car with low ride height.
