    Updates on Chevrolet Volt

    Should Comcast, which is buying NBC, have more motorsports coverage on VERSUS and now NBC? Does North America need a racing tv channel? Find the answer to that exact question on facebook.

    we are now almost at the good old concept of diesel-electric propulsion, as seen on trains and big cruise ships...certainly a stationary diesel would give further savings over the E85 based unit that the Volt is using now....

    Just like the Tesla, we will never see the Volt. Much like the Tesla, this is geek garbage mixed in with a little bit of scam and a dash of disrespect. Us Americans will never be fooled...but maybe, just maybe, they could sell this in Europe.

    This car is happening, it was one of the upcoming models GM had to tell the UAW about.

    You all keep waiting for these electric shannanagin vehicles. I'll sit back and not invest a mutha-f'n thing in these cars. The Volt is marketing scam...so it's more disrespect than actual theft.

    The Tesla car...that's a whole 'nother deal. These big dumb companies and rich people are investing millions in this...SCAM. Tesla will fold, Mr. Tesla...or whatever his f*ckin' name is...will walk away rich. "Sorry guys, we tried...ran out of funding...." My ass. You mutha-f'ers are stealing. This ain't a normal car people!!!! HELLO!!! You can't build this car "legal" from scratch with a 50 millions...now 100 million...now 200 million dollar budget. How much more money do you need Tesla? A shitload more. Tesla knows this. The most profitable thing Tesla can do right now is steal all the money and invest it in an excuse to fail. People are investing millions based on a "test drive"...wait, in this test drive, they drive you...because we don't want you to break our prototype...even though we've (Tesla) have allegedly built TWENTY working prototypes. Now can we please have your non-refundable deposit and shit? Biggest scam of the 2000s.

    The technology for these cars isn't available yet.


    If I invested my millions in Tesla only to have the company fold, I kill all those mothaf*ckas.

    What is wrong with you? no really... did you hit your head or something?

    If you would stop vomiting absolute BS all over this topic, and stop to actually reasearch into the matter you would realise just how stupid your comments are.

    the people involved at tesla are well off people. they are not out to get mnore money, they allready have money. These people are true inovators and not sell outs. people like Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.

    so do us all a favor and stop giving your advice on something you obviously know NOTHING about.

    The people involved in ENRON were...poor?

    Oh sure, Martin Eberhard and the other dude are some hardcore and respected engineers. But any good engineer should know....you can not build a groundbreaking "real and mass produced personal transportation vehicle" from scratch with a couple hundred million bucks. Stealing...thats what they are doing. They are stealing millions of dollars to do what they love to do. RESEARCH. In the pursuit to research their dream, these schlaps have bamboozled people out of millions to help fund their biggest RESEARCH PROJECT ever. Nothing "sellable to the public" will come out of this. Sure, there will be plenty of info that comes out of this to guide future companies willing to invest the amount of money it really takes to produce such a vehicle.

    But until then, they are thieves. They have told people that THEY WILL produce this car. No way. NOT HAPPNIN'. Not with this "small" budget they aren't. Tesla has lied to their investors. They have not invested in a product, they have invested in research...research that will eventually be valued by a future billion dollar company. And guess who'll get payed for that valuable information?

    Crooks.

    You contradict yourself at every corner. You pull "facts" out of your ass and make ludicrous assumptions and acusations...

    arguing with you is like arguing with a wall, no matter how much sense i try to slap into you, you wont budge.I am not like some members in this forum (i.e. matre et alpine) who has the patience and dedication to argue with deadbeats like you and try to reason them.

    I am done with you. you are not worth it.
