What a joke. They raise the price by 33% from $30K to $40K and now they are halving the range. Sounds like GM is trying to kill the electric car AGAIN. :)
So doing something as esoteric as reducing the size of the gas tank is a deal breaker for you? WTF is up with that?
Look at it this way - GM just reduced the weight of the vehicle by something like 42 lbs - meaning that they improved the gas mileage, reduced the stopping distances AND improved the overall handling and performance of the car, without even slightly increasing the carbon footprint. If anything, I say that the move was little short of brilliant.
wasn't their main reason for killing the ev-1 that consumers wanted a car with a range of over 120 miles? now they admit that 40 miles is acceptable. what a bunch of pricks.
Are you stupid or something? The range is still over 300 miles and if your capable of pumping gas then the range is pretty much only limited by your wallet.
Wow, you fool that racist accusation was totally uncalled for. Did some Indian "take" your job? A lot of people criticize GM ..no problem, but since Nilay's name sounds Indian he must surely also be a Tata motors spy and maybe works in a convenience store too part time. Is that how your brain works?
People of certain descents are not allowed to offer criticism of American companies without having their patriotism questioned?
That has to be it, cause I don't see you arbitrarily accusing other people who criticize GM of supporting Tata motors. Hey now maybe you'll accuse me even though I'm not Indian. Good.

How many times do we have to go through this? It's the Stone Cutters that hold back the electric car.

Looks like someone can't take a joke...
