So, each Volt represents a $49,000 taxpayer subsidy to some limousine liberal who wants to keep one sitting in his driveway so the neighbors can admire his Greenitude.
I must admit that, although I know some very rich people as well as ordinary folks, I’ve never actually SEEN a Chevy Volt. Probably most of these subsidies go right back to the Gubbermint, which is likely the chief buyer.
Yet according to DNC economics, this is a huge success.
Stupidity is our most expensive commodity.
They’ll make it up on volume.
I’ve never actually SEEN a Chevy Volt.
Saw my first one yesterday. Still on the lot.
Numbers don’t seem to add up. Last report noted is was costing around $250,000 per car to make
on life support with the taxpayers paying the medical bill.
Thats ok, it’s free. Government is paying for it....
A few pretentious eco-liberals buy them,,,, yes. And many, if not most, of these little krapperkars are purchased by....... (guess?).... the government!
Our tax money at “work!”
Well, obviously, “this” is racist, trying to make the FBP look bad.
(”this” = economics)
Title is in error.
Should read Taxpayers lose instead of GM.
Ask the Idiots who think electric cars are a good idea if they’ve thought about being in an Accident, in a car full of Lead Acid batteries.
... and gasoline.
I saw one in Sedonna, AZ trying to turn a left turn into a motel. There was a slight incline and the car stopped four times to “reboot!”
The passengers were a family of four with two kids in the back seat, trying to hide their eyes.
Good thing there was not much traffic.
Be sure to order Option Package 47 C. This replaces the interior with a grill and you get grilling utensils with the GM logo on them.
How many were bought by the Government to go to USG motor pools? I know of one that went to an Embassy motor pool but guess what? No charging station went with it so it sits and goes unused. Even if a station were supplied, it would take GSO about a year to get it installed. What a waste.
Government working to push and subsidize electric cars while simultaniously working to shut down electric power generation.
Makes perfect sense.
I live in a fairly large metropolitan area, Norfolk/Virginia Beach, VA. I’ve only seen one Volt in the months they’ve been available.
And the one I saw was labelled as a dealership’s “loaner” vehicle.
I saw my first Volt two weekends ago. It had a nice Obama/Biden sticker on the back.
