That's great if you can afford to flush your warranty. And you'll probably need it after that.

All of the plug-in hybrid cars have a severe drawback, and it's not just range. It's the fraction of power available without using gas. So if you force it into all-electric mode, you have less than...

There's irony in there somewhere!

I thought Better Place was a terrible idea from the beginning.

Thanks Tom, I agree that's the biggest take-away here. Any manufacturer in the world would love to be getting Tesla's good press lately, and to have their stock do so well! Hopefully this will light...

I have seen the ELR in person. It's an attractive car. It's also a very tight 2+2 coupe, which has a very limited market to start with. Would I consider buying one for $55K after incentives? Yes, but...

I just want to add a few clarifications:

1) Cadillac's main problem with ELR is the Tesla S, which has set the advanced propulsion bar in the price segment.

2) If the ELR price comes in...

I'm in pretty much lock step agreement with the original post above, other than I think it will sticker at$70k. The ELR is a huge disappointment, will ultimately undermine GM's technical...

Speaking of drive mode, I believe the Volt could use a setting in between normal and sport. Normal feels a little dull but good when you want to give people a smooth ride, while sport gets you in...

Not sure where the A6 comes into it but you sound like someone who should keep his Q7. The Volt is not for everyone.

Exactly the comparison GM seems to be completely ignoring. IMO the ELR is in for a very rocky ride.

I see Tesla S cars here in my area of NJ on an almost daily basis, seems like all of a sudden in the last couple of weeks. I don't know if a bunch of NJ customers suddenly got their deliveries or...

I've started to reconsider my thinking on what constitutes a game changer. I think it was mentioned in another post here, maybe one of Jeff's stories, that it's not clear what percentage of people...

I just spotted this article today although it's over a month old, and I don't recall seeing anything related to this news here. A forum search here turned up nothing. Basically, it says to expect a...

One of my friends who works for GM had a high-end Cruze as his company car for several months. Then he also drove my Volt and said there's no comparison, that the Volt is much nicer. FWIW.

Wow, the trolling around here is apparently quite lucrative!

It seems like public charging stations are either free (probably pissing off EV skeptics) or a total rip-off. Where is the reasonable middle ground? IMO they should be between $.50 and $1 an hour.

Someone in the audience should have asked him why the Spark EV will sticker for $16K more than the gasoline version. If they're making so much progress on cost, where's the incremental evidence?
...

I think the assembly quality on the Volt has always been hit or miss, in fact I started a thread a couple of years ago about some badly misaligned panels on a 2011 in the dealer showroom. My 2011 has...

It's an interesting competitor, and has the advantage of having about double the Volt's EV range. Wondering how BMW is going to really end up positioning the range extender functionally in the...
