Where did you see that it's sold out? All I find is reference to an unofficial fan site waiting list.

I realize it's very difficult for you to string words together in a coherent fashion. Believe me shadow, we are all used to it. You would think though that you would at least take enough pride in your abilities to spell a thread title properly. Is it really that hard to spell Chevy?

Yep. I have a 300. I like it. I know it's built like ****, but I really do like the look. And since it's company car, I don't care if it breaks down, they pay for it to be fixed.

40miles/64km in NA is hardly never having to go to a gas station again.

It's a great start, but you're stretching.

Like having to take circuitous detours to get round all the new power stations needed to produce the electroompah to run it? Smiley: dubious

Don't be silly, we'll just put them in vast wastelands where people never venture. Like Oklahoma.

And as a bonus, more things for the locals to point at. . .

Good thinking

Not the Volt. But the idea that this is "the future!". Um... It's at best a mediocre adaptation of existing technology wrapped in a pretty package for the sheeplike consumers to gawk at.

I'll take an Aptera. If you're gonna drive a fancy electric car, it better damn well look the part.

And there's a small but growing chance that the boytoy is getting a job in San Fran (they're not being sold in Georgia for now.) Forget my plans off FFXI-addict housewifery, I'll actually continue to work as a marketing grunt for one of those things.

There are new kinds of solar cells being invented quite frequently.

Renewable energies are an option, and yes, I know it's an expensive option if you talk short-term. Talking short-term is not good. Not if you talk about energy.
