Chevy Volt takes 27 years before owners save money

Quote from Sandybestdog:


Buying the first version of a car is not risky anymore. Cars are so thoroughly tested and computer built now. There have been no major first year flops in the past few years that I can think of.

I'm not here to tell you to buy a Volt. I have never said anything of the sort. I'm simply here to try to correct the innaccuracy's in yours and others statements. Unfortunately, I cannot correct your ignorance. That will be up to you.

Ah, I see. I'll go tell my wife that buying the first version of a car is not risky anymore, because some yambag car salesman trolling the internet looking for anti-Volt threads assured me so. Don't worry, dear! They're so thoroughly tested and computer built now, nothing can go wrong!

Here's an idea, go waste your online breath at some car forum where people actually consider you an expert in...well, anything. Because you're just a friggen annoying shill here.

I'll let you have the last word, since you're determined to in any regards, and each subsequent post of yours that I read dulls my wit further, I'm sad to say.

Wow you're really losing it. Let me guess, you don't want to buy a car that was made on Friday either? You continually change the subject once proven wrong again and again. I didn't say nothing can go wrong. A car is a car. Things will go wrong.

But you really lose any sort of credibility when what you say is challenged. You just resort to name calling as a defense. Why don't you defend your worthless statements or don't say them at all.

Like the electric car, turn off the free money and the business fails.

I think that electric cars are the future but they need to be done right. Producing a car with 25 miles range is just ludicrous and selling a hybrid as an electric car is an insult to peoples intelligence.

If the volt had been produced per its original design, a pure electric with onboard generator, it would be vastly more popular and they would not be able to produce enough of them. GM botched the implementation of this car and it bears no resemblance to the car that was touted at car shows for years.

I don't think GM will voluntarily produce a successful electric car because they like the profit margin they enjoy on internal combustion engines. Other companies will produce the first successful electric vehicles and GM will become a relic.

From Wikipedia:
"A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle."

The Volt is able to completely run itself on one source of power, electricity. Therefore it's an electric car. It's not a hybrid if you don't use gas. Gas is only optional.

It's funny how this story made no news. I just heard about it.

Its a hybrid because the gasoline engine can propel the vehicle via its mechanical connection when the electric motor is not being used.

It is not an electric car, sorry. GM lied.

That only happens when in extended range mode and rarerly at all anyways. In pure electric mode, it is entirely run on battery. Therefore it can be a pure electric vehicle. GM is correct in labeling it an electric vehicle with extended range capabilities.

I have only used 5 gallons of gas in 4 months. A hybrid can't do that. The Volt is way beyond hybrid.

The Volt is a hybrid, a very poorly built hybrid with extremely limited range. Lousy car, lousy company.

There are a few brainless people that will buy the car no matter how little sense it makes. Somebody has got to occupy the lower Gaussian IQ tail.

I'm waiting for someone to spill their coffee in a Volt and get the shock of their life. :D
