Doesn't take a high IQ to join the crowd bashing.
GM is partnering with the inventor of the hybrid battery. Which without them you wouldn't have Toyota & honda's hybrid.
Read a little you might learn something.
GM was and is the pioneer in electric.

Oh I wouldn’t worry too much about Tesla’s press. Business Week, WSJ, Forbes, Fortune, Blackberry commercials, CNN, Times, The Economist, etc aren’t too bad for a startup company. GM has to pay for their publicity.
I do agree that there is nothing much to distinguish this from vaporware though. Indefinite delivery time, announcement of showstopping ‘problems’, bad-mouthing prior similiar technologies. let’s see, where have we heard this before?

GM is getting a lot of favorable press on this vaporware type of announcement. Contrast that with Tesla Motors which is taking orders and building a vehicle, but getting much less mainstream press. :roll

As a EV1 driver, over thirty thousand electric miles, and six years its about time for the reberth of the Electric/Hybrid car. By Hybrid I mean a car that runs full time on electricity and only some times charges from another source.
