Traded in my Clarity PHEV Touring for a Chevy BOLT

[Viking79]

Model 3 is better in all three, but just has a bigger cabin. Can fit more normal sized adults.

Model 3 is also set lower, since I think they were going for a sports car profile. So it's harder to get in than the Clarity.

Model 3 is not bigger inside than Clarity, but very similar sized. It does feel larger with the interior design and glass roof.

I don't like the rear seat in the Model 3, but it did feel like a nice car. I didn't drive it, but my hunch is the suspension in the Clarity is tuned more for comfort? I think the Clarity will fit 5 better as well.

My wife wasn't ready to go full electric, but I think she would now after sitting in the 3. We have Clarity now though, so drive that for 6 years at least and buy something else at that point.

This is exactly the goal of PHEV transitional vehicles. (Though most owners don't usually make the transition so soon!) Moving drivers away from fossil fuel travel and into BEVs is why hybrids - and especially Plug-in Hybrids deserve their place in the market. If you look at some of the statistics, hybrid owners - and particularly plug-in hybrid owners - either move into another plug-in or a full BEV when they consider their next vehicle. The number of owners who actually move back to a full gas vehicle is not great - less than 25% in some studies.

Congrats on your new purchase!
