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:

Knowing myself, it may replace the Tesla. A lot of complaints about the Tesla that my wife and I have are solved in this car. It's not just some name where you have to take a side. The user conveniences are well thought out and the functionality is great. I tell everyone that the most valuable, useful car of my life was the Prius that I drove for 10 years. I don't need top-of-the-line luxury. We have a Tesla but there is no other EV choice that's good for road trips. The Bolt will need some personal testing by Janet and myself to find out how it is on road trips. Otherwise, it's what we want. Extra features aren't the big picture, or we'd have skipped the Tesla for a Mercedes.

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.
