I'd love a Tesla.....just not at the going price of $109K w/ a 60K 'lock-in price & delivery time' deposit .
I like the looks of the Volt! Now, if they can just get all the production issues squared away maybe they'll have a seller here. I see they've been promo'ing the heck out of it during the Olympics. Time will tell; like all other concepts.
Right now they're talking about a 40 mile per charge limit with a 160hp electric engine combined with a turbocharged 3 cyl. gas "booster" engine mostly meant to charge the car while driving. That's a lotta weight (both engines) not to mention a gas tank & a whole crapful of batteries. It'll need a 160 horse just to move!!
