I am among the fans and those with a tesla on the wish list. I’m glad to see they are in production but they have problems with the coolant pump, the founder was ousted and there are rumors they are laying off half their 200 person workforce. To date they have only delivered 30 cars.
Why the hell has gm not bought them out to get the battery and engine technology. The chevy volt is the last chance to save the company, they talked with ford about a merger and now chrysler. If they cant put out a 100mpg equivalent car in the next two years they are toast and so is the uaw. Seriously, those clowns have got to get their sh%$ together and yesterday. I do not want something that looks like a chevy volt, it is doubtful my kid would drive that birthcontrolmobile. How hard can it be for one of the largest companies in the world to just tell all of the engineers that everyone is fired if they can’t make a smoking hot, sexy, fast car that runs for pennies and also makes women want to take their clothes off. That is the mission and it needs to get done now. A few silicon valley guys almost pulled it off with a tiny staff and no automotive experience. Enough with trying to match toyota, get off your a$$ and go kick theirs. For pete’s sake will apple or microsoft just buy them so we can have an icar.
Gm already makes the highest owner satisfaction, owner loyalty vehicle in the world, the corvette. Stick some batteries in that puppy and start selling them already.
