I’m shocked. /s
Working link:
Great. This kind of news usually encourages the Fraud to double down on his stupidity.
I actually saw my first one yesterday. What a ugly car.
The problem is the government subsidizes this abortion with tax payer dollars so it is not a personel investment they expect to see a profit from, they sell a product no one wants, no one can afford and the dealers cant fix because the tools cost to much. Once again the dabble where they have not a clue, nor do they care! This like the green solyndra election payoff scam and many other criminal scams conducted with our money and still they want more of our money thru tax hikes. They all need to be brought into the townsquare and burned at the stake. Have you heard from your liberal friends yet? They should be paying their increased Obama taxes. If they did and they open thier traps just tell them they have to pay thier fair share!
And many of those ‘sales’ were government fleet sales.
Yep, subsidized government sales and many subsidized leases to the public.
But they get logged down the same and then touted much like Mike Manns hockey stick graph, now in the twentieth generation of his recent revisions.
I understand the prius creates large amounts of hazerdous waste to manufacture. Does anyone know if the volt causes the same issue?
Yes.
It does.
The battery has hazardous waste for one.
Any electric vehicle has such an issue.
Gets swept under the rug, after all it’s a green vehicle”.
This article leaves out a few facts. Hybrids got tax subsidies and sales were very slow when they first came out. There are more plug in vehicles coming out in the next few years . The C-Max plug in version can’t keep up with demand.The 2013 Leaf will be an improvement over previous years at the same or lower price. Nissan is serious about making a successful EV car. The car and batteries will now be built in Tennessee. It will be to everyone’s benefit if EV cars succeed. The Tesla S Model can go from 0-60 in 4.4 sec with up to a 250 mile charge. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 2016 Leaf will do that at a third of the price. Like a broken clock liberals have been right twice in this countries history and they both involved automobiles. Car safety and emissions.
Chevy Volt Deathwatch Ping.
Government Stimulus Can't Overcome 100 Years of EV Battery Shortcomings
I’m looking at ‘13 fusion hybrid. Maybe energi sedan. Considering es350 but don’t want to pay that much.
I’m severely skeptical of EV range, NY state gets cold at times, and batteries tend not to function well in the cold.
And range would suffer.
As for teh Tesla, if teh battery runs out fo juice, it bricks.
Replacement battery is 40K bucks, and MAYBE you wil have a working vehicle.
And that 40K is all out of pocket, not covered by warranty.
Yet in an interview with Jay Leno, Elon Musk claimed that Tesla doesn’t care about how little battery juice is laft.
Don’t trust Musk, he’s a slurper of taxpayer funding which he then risks instead of his cash.
In other words, the socialist economic model of ‘business’.
-He stick the risk onto others in exchange for preferencial business treatment.
It’s a Volt Revolt.
Couldn't agree more, you're dead on the mark.
Sadly, he has his fanboys that do post here.
Ran across one the other day.
Thanks, got an ecohippy across the street who’s set on buying a volt, can’t wait till he does so i can show him how eco unfriendly it is.
