"While I still prefer my twice as expensive 2013 Tesla Model S overall".  He goes on to write that he bought his Model S when they were $49,000 - so not twice as expensive. Oops. 


To that point, if you're going to compare 2013 vs 2017 model years, there are a lot of 2013, low mileage Model S's available in the mid $40's:



I get the sense he was reaching, and wrote the blog as click-bait.  IMHO, most of his "likes" were in the don't care category or actually disadvantages.  FWD is an advantage over AWD in the winter?  Really...since when?  As someone that drives in a winter city; it isn't.  You also need to suspend reality, to believe that charging on a Bolt is even "sometimes" better than it is on a Model S.  The author didn't point out that most people driving a Model S don't even pay for supercharging.  By contrast, a member on this board paid 12 bucks for an equivalent of 40 miles for an EVGO charge. 


I've driven both the Model S & the Bolt.  It's along the lines of comparing an Audi A7 Quattro to a Chevy Sonic with bad seats.  Comparing them at all is laughable.  Other than being EV's, that's where the similarities end.
