1. Selling under 3K units hardly meets GM's original goals. 2. Obama hiked the Federal Subsidy for the Chevy Volt up to $10K. That's right, the American taxpayer is bribing wealthy liberals to buy a car that catches on fire, among other foibles. Some States, like Colorado, have additional subsidies on top of the federal one.
When you talk with your clients, do you share similiar inaccurate statements as the ones you make here?
Maybe I should buy a Volt. I live in Colorado... and for once I'd like to GET a federal subsidy rather than paying for everybody else's.
Well, one thing I would never do with a client is to make things personal. I would welcome any client criticisms where he stated facts which were contrary to what I knew or believed to be fact.
Common sense thinking. Why do people by any type of car? Why buy a Maserati instead of a Ferrari? All sorts of reasons, same with the Volt. I do think GM could have done a better job with the Volt, especially after the years and money the spent on earlier Electric vehicles.
Do you want to give a more accurate description of what you mean by "catching on fire"? Because repeating half-truths is almost like lying.
Go ahead and Google NHTSA safety test on the Volt - you know, the car whose battery pack caught on fire post crash-test while it was sitting in a government storage facility. But reinforcing the battery pack and and making a change to the On-Star warning system is supposed to fix it. Then go ahead and Google the Obama administration coverup and internal whitewash to exponge the NHTSA data.
Right. A month or so after the crash they left cracked batteries in a vehicle and they caught fire. After they should have been removed like they do with gas tanks after a crash for the same reason. And one in a test later. The cars did not catch fire under any other circumstance. They do not spontaneously combust while driving down the road. There was no cover-up. The republicans have problems with the whole GM bailout thing so they got hysterical again with conspiracy theories. The whole thing is much ado about nothing. The pubs just need to face it. The bailout was a good move. Government can do good. Hybrid/electric cars are the future and are absolutely needed.
