Sorry Tesla, Woz says he's trading the Model S in for a Chevy Bolt EV
If you think the Tesla Model S is the only EV good enough for tech royalty like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, you might want to reconsider your stance.
That's because, according to the Woz's verified Facebook page, he's planning to trade in his Model S for the forthcoming Chevrolet Bolt EV.

The Woz famously bought a Model S after Elon Musk chided the Apple co-founder in an email for buying a gas-powered car. And although the Woz made the change over to pure electric with his $100,000-plus Tesla, he's not necessarily one for luxury.
In fact, the keen eyes at Electrek highlighted Woz's explanation for his plan to switch over to the mass-market Bolt EV from the decidedly upmarket Model S:
This should prove a great example for those waiting patiently (for who knows how long) for Tesla's mass-market Model 3. Not only will Chevy's Bolt EV have a 200-plus mile range, it solves complaints owners have with Teslas — at least according to the Woz.
So, if you want a great, affordable long-range EV and don't want to suffer the unknown wait for the Model 3, Bolt EVs hit showrooms later this year.
