Why?

 

[percysunshine]

Arson is a crime in most states. Why is GM setting people on fire?

 

[JimH52]

As long as the price of gas stays in the 3-4 dollar area, the Volt and Hybrids are not going to sell in big numbers.

Consumer spending is what's needed (in part) to spur the economy. You're saying Volts won't sell while gas is in the $3-$4 range, which translate to gas needs to hit that $7/gal number Barry talked about a bit back in order to start moving off the lot. Oh gee, that'll really help things. If consumers don't have money to spend to spur the economy what makes you thing they'll suddenly have money to go out and buy a new car?

They can produce all the Volts they want, that doesn't mean anybody wants them.

Let me guess, Obama will introduce a Chevy Volt Buyers Assistance Program?

Maybe they'll sell them to our enemies abroad... Good way to take out a few bad guys on the down low...

 

[percysunshine]

All it takes to produce 60,000 volts is to string together 40,000 1.5 volt batteries.

GM is lowering the bar here...I could do that.

 

[nitroz]

Why only produce 60,000?

With modern generators and such, they should be able to produce MILLIONS of volts to power whatever they want.

[nitroz]

Now after the troll, I think this is a BAD move.

They haven't fixed the battery problem yet and thats costing taxpayer $$$.
I want extensive testing done before they are ready to sell them. And they should be HALF the price, if anything.

How many are they going to sell?

Why?

Because you, as an American taxpayer, are paying for them even if they don't sell.

They may sell about 10,000 of them, if they're lucky. Most people, including myself, could not afford to buy one! The owner of our company bought one, in fact i think we make some hoses for it. He ended up getting rid of it. I'm sure Obama will come up with some kind of "incentive" to buy one, but i'm also sure i still couldn't afford it!

Ford Pinto production numbers were way up in year two as well.

Me too. A '74. Yellow, four speed with brown interior. I actually liked the car alot. Drove the hell out of it.

I have a neon sign transformer that produces 60,000 volts. The available current is only a few milliamps, so it's nearly useless, much like a car with a range of 40 miles.

Why?

Because the government will subsidize him whether they sell or not.
