Because that really wouldn't be confusing.
How about continuing with SI Unit theme and do Chevrolet Watt. No possible confusion with that name.

...and recall that in some languages the Nova sounded like: 'doesn't go, doesn't work'.

Just saw this ...
UPDATE: GM told AutoblogGreen on June 1 that, "Our Chevrolet Legal team has been working closely with the USPT on the Chevrolet Bolt trademark. As of last week, our legal staff received consent from Yamaha to use the Bolt name. According to our legal team, our USPT application is back to active status."

That sucks. Bolt was a great name. They ought to buy it from Yamaha if they can come to terms.
Chevy Jolt.
Chevy Zap.
Chevy Arc.
Chevy Flash.
Chevy Ka-Zap.
Chevy Brrrzzp!
...naming things is difficult these days.

Reminder: they negotiated with Yamaha to use the Bolt name, so they are sticking with that for now.
Updated the thread title to reflect.

Still in love after all these miles
Yes, its a lame name because if it doesnt have the performance the Model 3 will have, and since it's suppose to be in the same league, it will in fact not live up to the name "Bolt".
So they automatically shoot themselves in the foot from the start. Stupid GM.

Can you provide references to the Model 3 performance stats you reference? I have not seen anything whatsoever on that car other than internet "wishful thinking" sketches and such.

It's easy to have a kick ass car at $85k not so much at $35k... Tesla will have to make a bunch on compromises. I drive a 85D and my wife has a Volt both are awesome cars for their price point. I look forward to both the Bolt and the Model 3.
And for anyone criticizing the name Bolt should just at the name 3

Fair enough. I'm not a fan of "Bolt", but then "Model S" wouldn't top my list as a good name either. Maybe that's why a lot of companies are just going with numbers :smile:

Tesla hasn't made a $35k car in the past - so the assumptions aren't really logical.
It would be like guessing Leaf performance based on GTR.
