The Volt will already get, what, 10-20x the all-electric range of the next-best plug-in hybrid, right? They're that far out in front of the competition, so why are they choosing expensive poor-handling tires and an expensive stereo just to eke out a few extra percent efficiency? These choices are just complicating things and driving up the price. I wonder how much earlier (and cheaper) GM could release the Volt if they weren't pissing around on this stuff.

And, when they built the latest versions of VOLT mules, I'm sure they had the tires & speakers in there already to test them out (much like they tested the batteries). Not to put a dampner, I'm not entirely sure whether you can extra all-electric miles on top of the 40 mile range because you got these components. It sounds to me that the 40 mile range already factors in the components. Any thoughts on the pricing & all-electric mile range? Hey guys & gals,
