Do you ever intend to even try and learn the English language, you idiot?

Hey franco, try to find a free independent discussion group like this in Euro world. Can't do it? Try Canada or South America. The peoples paradise of Cuba should have a great internet forum. It might be powered by jackasses but that's the equivalent brain power of the average quiche eating surrender monkey.

And we're suppose to care about some car for what reason?

 

[uscitizen]

Who started the thread about people being forced to drive volts because their employer bought volts?

 

[BluePhantom]

And we're suppose to care about some car for what reason?

Cause of the misconception that it's so green. Pffft....it has an electric range of roughly 20ish miles. When I lived in Phoenix my commute to work was 30 miles. It's out of juice before I even get to my destination let alone get back. I live in Salem now but often do business in Portland roughly 60ish miles away. The Volt is useless there. So no matter what I am still running primarily on gasoline and the Volt's batteries are en ecological disaster so where's the "green" effect again? besides, at a sticker price of roughly $40,000....shit for that I could buy a BMW 3 Series, a Cadillac SRX, a Camaro, F150, Mustang, Taurus, Accord, Lexus RX, Mercedes-Benz C Class.....why on Earth would I buy a fucking Volt?

On top of which all those cars will get me laid....a Volt only gets you laid in Berkeley or Portland.

Perhaps the volt will prove valuable in the construction industry like the Tesla has.

$206,000 brick.

Damned good looking brick though. Maybe algore can build his next mansion out of them, or better yet, just move into the Fisker plant; not many production workers left there to get in the way

Just like the economy must fail....the Chevy Volt must fail

The Phd after his name stands for Pub hating dipshit.

They also fail to mention that all the rare Earf elements and heavy metals required to manufacture those tubs of shit come from China and are terrrrrrrrrribly environmentally unfriendly.

If that is the case the guy he stole it from must be pissed.

Hey, dumbass, have you looked into Volt sales lately? Have someone read you the links BluePhantom provided.

Volt sales are way below projections and would be even lower if GE wasn't artificially creating demand for one of the other axis companies headed by US government. Fisker? LOL!

Fisker – Not Fast Enough to Outrun Angry Investors
March 2, 2012 By Andrew Meggison

The hits just keep on coming for electric vehicle (EV) maker Fisker Automotive Inc. (Fisker). An investor is suing the company for alleged fraud and breach of duty in the sale of company stock.

Fisker makes great looking EVs but they just cannot keep their books in order and now they are being sued by an investor by the name of Daniel Wray. Between October 2009 and April 2011 Wray bought about $210,000 in unregistered preferred Fisker stock. A nice investment in a company that looked to have potential, that is until things began to go south for Fisker.

Wray alleges he received word from Fisker on January 18th in the form of a letter informing him that due to the need for equity capital financing there was now a pay to play action in effect — Fisker wanted Wray to invest $83,922.32 on top of his previous investments. If Wray failed to do so by January 27th Wray would allegedly lose rights that he received when he first purchased Fisker stock. Rights such as a discounted price if the company went public, protection against dilution of his shares by later purchasers, and preference in a bankruptcy.

The lawsuit brought by Wray is basically saying that Fisker’s preferred stock is a scam.

To further complicate matters, the U.S. Department of Energy has frozen $336 million of Fiskers $529 million loan from last May because Fisker failed to meet a number of undisclosed milestones. Plus in the past few months Fisker has closed their Delaware plant and laid off 71 workers in Delaware and Orange County.

At a time when Fisker could really use some money from outside investors this lawsuit, and the allegations brought by the lawsuit, mean more financial hardship for a once promising company. This is not the first time Fisker has been sued due to questionable business practices. In 2008 Tesla Motors filed a lawsuit accusing Henrik Fisker of signing a design contract in order to only get an inside look at Tesla’s confidential design information and secrets, and then launch Fisker Automotive and announce a competing EV less than a year later. The judge in the case eventually ruled in favor of Fisker, denying Tesla’s claim that its competitor had pirated Tesla’s hybrid technology.

The Fisker Karma sells for $103,000.

Think the DOE is actually watching? I certainly hope they learned from Solyndra, but I doubt it.
