We did it!
I just got back from the Volt Nation event at the Jacob Javits Center and I believe it was a smashing success. Over 200 people braved the rains and traveled by car bus and plane from as far away as Chicago, Arizona, Minnesota, and California to take part in this historic event.
It was truly a pleasure and honor to meet you all in person and thanks again for coming.
We got to check out the car and had the chance to ask the executive Volt development team questions both in a town hall setting as well as mix and mingle one on one sessions. I would like to ask people who were there to please record anything your heard or discussed, in the Volt Nation section of the forum. You can also post pictures and video there.
E-Flex Vehicle Line Director Frank Weber showed us some new pictures of the two LG Chem packs undergoing testing and some shots of the early mules being tested, and we discussed everything from drivetrain and batteries to pricing.
We even got a special guest appearance and Q and A with none other than GM vice chairman Bob Lutz himself, pictured above with me on the stage.
It is clear that we are on to something here. The grassroots development of the site has become too large and loud for GM to ignore, so it seems we are now guests at their house. We are making a difference here, this type of direct access to regular folks like us to high level execs is unprecedented.
Look forward to other Volt Nation events like this and more opportunities for direct access to the engineers behind the car and ability to give direct feedback to them through this site
Also, the entire event was video recorded and as soon as I get access to the video it will be shown here for all to see.
Oh yeah if anyone knows someone who is a php and wordpress expert send them my way..need some help here (remember the recent crash).
I’ll roll out all the news I can over the next few days, hopefully along with a lot of the mainstream media helping us get the word out.
Here’s the first mention of us.
