Really not a damnation of the Bolt, just bad timing. As your blog post stated, the Bolt just started production and thus demand is far greater than the supply, which means 1) you'll have a hard time getting one for a good 6 months or more and 2) you're not going to get a stellar deal.
The only qualm I have is your analysis seems to be comparing buying a Bolt vs leasing a Leaf which I find rather odd. You go into quite a few calcs that end up saying the Bolt is a bad deal financially. Well, comparing an EV lease vs EV purchase you bet. Even if you did the same analysis comparing a Leaf purchase vs a Leaf lease you'd likely get similar results.
Reality is the Leaf's time is about up so dealers are pushing sales heavily which means much better discounts. I don't even know how Nissan is going to sell a Leaf later next year since the 2017 is going to have the same 107 mile range as the 2016 and by then you'll have Bolt's more readily available and the T3 will be that much closer to hitting the market.
If I had to get an EV today I'd make the same decision you made, but it would be because I simply wouldn't be able to buy a Bolt. They are currently only being sold in OR and CA, I'm in MO, I probably won't see any here until late next Summer. So yeah, that basically just leaves the Leaf as my only choice.
Fortunately I don't need a new car right now, so I can wait until the Bolt is more readily available.
