Don’t dismiss the Tesla car so quickly. It not only is slick looking but can out accelerate just about any production car on the market gas/ethanol/diesel

It prices between $109,000 to $128,500. Don't compare to a Chevy, how does it compare to a Ferrari?

Yeah, and a cheap Ferrari, at that.

Don’t know about the Ferrari but the Chevy volt is a completely different animal and could have been a better animal if not for government interference.

The Volt uses a gas generator to simply charge or provide current to the batteries which extends the very short electric only range. It is unlike the other gas electric cluster F$%# which also use a gas engine but place it in the drive train which adds a ton of weight and more parts to break. In this case the Volt has a better idea.

0-60 in 3.4 seconds might be a reach for the Ferrari but again I do not know its specs.
