I have both a model Y and a Bolt (2019 Premier). They are both very good at what they do, but they are not comparable vehicles. Bolt is a wonderful commuter car and general purpose use vehicle. The Tesla is better at distance travel.
Kind of looks like this comparison is just to have a reason to get into a debate.
My experience with both EVs show me:
1) Regan braking distance, with and without ROD.
Both vehicles have excellent regen braking. I never had to "test" the actual braking ability of either vehicle (yet).
2) Consumption test. (Planned round trip routes, as of now: Colorado Springs to Denver and Base to Summit of Pikes Peak)
Beats me. The Tesla has more range, but then it also has a larger battery pack.
3) Cardboard cut out test: Pedestrian braking.
Haven't encountered a cardboard pedestrian yet. I'll let you guys know as soon as I do!
4) Charging Speed: 10% to 85%
Tesla, hands down. That's one of the main reasons the Tesla is a superior vehicle for distance road travel use.
