I've entered pricing and features into TrueDelta's configurator to the extent they've either been released or can be inferred from Model S content to see how these compare to other cars.
Initial conclusion: after adjusting for feature differences the Model 3 undercuts the Bolt EV by 1-2k:
2017 Tesla Model 3 vs. 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Price Comparison at TrueDelta: Apples-to-apples pricing, specs, and feature data
That said, if anyone knows whether or not the following features are standard, optional, or not available, please comment.
--audio system speaker counts and wattage
--synthetic suede door panels, std or Upgrade (in photos)
--synthetic suede headliner (in photos?)
--leather steering wheel (on S and X, unsure of 3)
--standard seat adjustments other than manual fore-aft and recline
--door sill trim plates
--any sort of energy flow display
--outside temperature display
--mirror tilt down in reverse
--illuminated visors (any Tesla?)
--blind spot warning
--lane departure warning
--front and rear obstacle detection
--interior air filter; none, basic, ionizing
--rain-sensing wipers
--rear heat ducts under the front seats (any Tesla?)
--steering-linked adaptive headlights
--auto-dimming headlights (part of Autopilot?)
--rear reading lights
--onboard charger kW rating? 10?
Also would love clarification on:
1. battery capacities: I've estimated 45-55 kWh and 65-75 kWh. Would love to have specific numbers rather than ranges.
2. motor output: I've esimated 200 hp with the base pack based on the 235 hp estimated by Motor Trend for a Model 3 with the optional battery pack and the difference required to cut acceleration to 60 by half a second
