Beat it, break it, fix it. Rinse and repeat.

Perhaps you can stop by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and have the suited up Volunteers help out with the punishment. Give them each a car and dare them to show a weakness. Scream to them, "Come on, are you guys pussies?!"

"By Alex Cattelan, GM Powertrain Assistant Chief Engineer, E-Flex Electric Vehicle Program" so take the report with a grain of salt. It would be more believable if it were an independent tester but I did like what I read.

They are not testing a product that is ready for market. They are testing to develop a product for market. Big difference. They want to find the weaknesses, propose design fixes, re-test, etc.

They also want to continuously tweak the software and push it though every conceivable situation and keep doing so as new updates come out. You never know how one update will effect something else so you have to test, test, test.

The devil is in the details and a test team that is completely dedicated to the success of the Volt program is key. Fortunately, the Volt is game-changing enough to get everyone on the team up to full motivation. If they are not, for some reason, they should resign to a different program. This is just too important. Seriously, I wonder if you can hear war cries coming out from that area late at night.

You're right. I just need to put it in the proper context. It's an advertisement, not a test review.
