I haven't had time to watch them yet myself....but here they are:

Is it interesting stuff I should take the time to watch?

EDIT: Doh....I probably should have put this in the Engineering and Design forum. Could a mod please move it for me?

Frankly, I found those clips startlingly short and a bit bland. Except for a couple of videos near the end, I didn't feel like I learned much of anything. There were a couple of points where I was wondering whether certain clips would be more appropriate for the blooper reel or a behind-the-scenes rather than the main presentation. (Maybe this actually isn't the main video, and they're going to release a more proper one later? Here's hoping....)

These are fun, group of guy who know nothing about the Volt tearing it apart to see how it works.

Holy short attention span Batman! They should have combined these videos - annoying as all heck trying to follow since their youtube link puts them out of order.

Yea, love it when they measure 380V on the battery and say "yea, there's definitely a full charge in the battery." They have no clue.

This certainly looks like fun. Don't try this at home!

Have they disassembled the transmission yet? That's where the electric motors live.

I haven't seen any updates past the "day 3" videos that were posted last week.

After day 3 they found the hamster that powers the whole car. So they could not show any more videos.

At least that is my version of why they stopped....

These look like the same videos as mentioned in this thread: http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread....eardown-Videos!!

As I mention there, most of these videos are pretty dull except for a couple of the last ones. (I think it was one weekend, so Day 3 is all there is.) I hope they're still in the process of putting some better content together.
