Really interesting understand this. When cleaning my window blinds I take them down and put them in the bathtub by means of Dawn dish washing liquid. I let the soak and the rinse till the water runs clear. You might have to do this a couple of times. The blinds are easiest to handle once they are pulled all the method up as soon as you take them off the window. Loosen them in the tub.

New GM is retarded if they think an average Joe is gonna spend 40k on a ‘new’ type of vehicle… as if… If Ford could slap some batteries inside a frame I’m sure that they would outsell this stupidity. And please – make it look a little more like crap and change the promises and then introduce a Cadillac version… GM is clueless like asking the public what they will buy – do you people seriously want to sell vehicles through public opinion? Gimme a break – never got the choice to support the company and now I have to deal with this ongoing series of stupidity…

I don’t know about all of the “gadgets”. The on-board diagnostics terminal would be great but how many sensors are really needed to monitor a battery powered vehicle (obviously monitoring the electrical aspect ought to be a part of the dashboard instrumentation anyway).
What I would really like to see is a stowable solar panel incorporated into the car (like a tray in the trunk or under the rear bumper) that could be set up to “top off”, if not recharge, the battery without having to “plug” it in. I am at work at least nine hours a day while my vehicle sits in a parking lot baking in the sun. It would be great if I could “top off” the battery charge enough to get home without using the gasoline engine. My round trip commute is 52 miles, just over the 40 mile limit.

40 miles range?
what are they thinking?
just put a 3 times bigger battery in it!
120 miles range would be acceptable!
why do we need to buy the batteries fom LG?
GM cannot even make a friggin battery?
GM just got billions and they have to buy a battery?
pay me a billon and I build a plant for you idiots!
batteries are getting too hot – cool them you idiots!
batteries are expensive – built a robot factory and save transport costs!
damn friggin idiots at GM – that’s why the US is finished!
even Cessna build the new LSA in China – terrible!

I personally would like to see OBDII, ABS, and air bag trouble codes output to an LCD screen on the dash so I don’t have to buy stupid scan tools. The diagnostic output would help the consumer fix simple problems like broken wires or bad sensors. I would pay extra for that feature and I’ll even help write the software, I’m a firmware developer.
