Assume you'll make 1.5KWh per year per installed watt. If your installed cost is $4/watt, then, after the 30% federal rebate, that's about $.186/kWh over ten years. That's more than you're paying....

You're obviously one of the more knowledgeable salespeople with respect to the Volt. You also work for a larger (read more successful) dealer in a state where the Volt might well be helpful in...

It would be hard indeed to get a salesperson more knowledgeable about the Volt than Thomas! You've experienced the best not the rest. :-)

Some dealers are behind it. Most aren't. Not surprisingly, some dealers are doing a lot better than others! LOL

My view is that most car salespeople just sell on price, and the Volt doesn't fit...

WOW! Really good.

Sorry Dave but I'm not understanding what all the lines are.

Yup. Moved.

The rest of the country is just now understanding what CA has known for years. Of some interest is that he's more intellectually impressive in person than he appears on TV but he's also creepier.

I'm sure you'll still be at the top! Congrats on relaxing a bit. LOL

Hardly seems worth the bother. As bonaire says, if your commute was 20+ miles then it would make sense. But electricity is so inexpensive that unless you need a charge it's simpler and easier to just...

I was thinking it had been a long time since the last bearing problem. We had a spate of them and then nothing.

If the dealer has the part then the repair is quick. The problem before was that...

A few weeks ago I mentioned to my wife that getting a Karma as a collector investment might not be a bad idea. To my surprise she jumped all over it. (Funny how a zero interest rate environment...

Congrats on your car. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. And thanks for posting. I'm sure others will find your experience helpful.

On dealers which won't/can't meet the pricing of others, dealer pricing...

Sorry about the accident but so glad you came through without a scratch.

I agree with Walter that you're making this more complicated than it needs to be. You could just drive all the way in Normal since there aren't any elevation gains sufficient to cause you to need...

The last I knew both Ally and US Bank were adding the tax credit to the residual but I don't make a special effort to keep up with all the leasing terms -- it would be a full time job.

Whether the...

+1. That would definitely explain it, assuming he exhausted the battery.

Funny how Tesla can move the Model S with the same drive train and Toyota can't move these. I think Toyota made a big error in using the old body rather than the current one. Makes the vehicle look...

Very sorry this happened. Bummer. Good you came through A-OK.

If I had to guess I'd go with the Volt *not* having DC charging. In a sense it has a super duper fast charger -- the gas tank. That's a bit snarky but it's completely true. There isn't a DC charging...
