Collecting emails is a good marketing tactic and they won't load the servers with everyone.

I totally get that you don't like the Bolt's design, and that's perfectly fine.
But, seriously, it is 2016 can we put the "that is for girls" "that is for guys" nonsense to bed? It is sexist against both genders. The whole implication is that "girly = bad" which is sexist, and then you have guys who are going to be emasculated if they enjoy a "girly" thing which is also sexist.
Essentially it victimizes everyone. Let's leave that phase in the past along with gendered toy isles and pink/blue.
Cars are designed with specific genders in mind.[0][1][2]
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but it is. The linked articles come to some conclusions as to why.
Also please note that no one made the 'girly=bad' assertion but you.

It was implicitly made. They dislike the Bolt's look so described it as "girly" (using the term as a negative). So unless you're claiming that they meant "girly" as a compliment, my point stands.
If they didn't mean "girly=bad" then their entire statement makes no sense. It only makes sense if they meant it negatively.
"Bolt? That's a car for girls(at least by design)."
Any negative connotation with that is in the eye of the beholder.
What's with this non-sense rant? Where did you get that girly=bad?
Sexist? I don't even bother...
I'm free to share my opinion, or not? Simply, it's a car I would buy for my daughter, not me. This is not the case for Tesla designs.
