eddie: Where can we learn more about your electric Toyota pick-up?

Forget these companies (altho I adore the Tesla Roadster).
BUILD YOUR OWN
I modified my Toyota pick up. Looks uglier than GWB. But it gets me to work and back twice before I need to plug it in.

I don’t think we have anything to worry about from GM. The Volt is all media hype and talk like GM has done so many times in the past. They still have no high milage car to show for all their press coverage of the past. Maybe now that gas is over $4.00 a gallon and GM’s sales of their gas hogs has dropped off drastically. They will actually make a high mileage car. Wouldn’t it be nice if GM actually mass produced the Volt, and priced it so that regular people could afford it. I guess we can all dream but until GM actually makes the volt and ramps up production, its just talk and lies.

Comparing a Tesla to a Volt is like comparing a Corvette to a Malibu.

2 versus 5 seats.
4 second 0-60 mph versus 8 second
sports car versus family car

It would be better to compare a Corvette to the Tesla

And compare the Volt to a Malibu.

Tesla, Aptera, Th!nk, and other electric car companies really need to start pumping these cars out. There are waiting lists for all of them. Of those 3 companies only Tesla has delivered cars in the USA . . . a whole 5 cars.

“some say already that the Chevy Volt is far better then their roadster model in technology(?) and price”

Being that, although late, Telsa is actually shipping out real actual cars to actual people, and the Volt is still on the drawing board, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that a car from Telsa is “already” a far better model.

Tesla is delivering customized Lotuses? Really.

Are they any good?

Do they have any of the features they've been touting to investors or is it just an electric Lotus?

Anonymous..
I wouldn't go that far, since most of the specs for the Volt are still unknown. Plus it is still not a pure electric car, it can only go 1/5th the range of the Tesla on pure battery power alone. If they were to provide the same range, there's a good chance the price would be comparable.

Simps right.. that's Fiskers concept car, not the one they designed for Tesla (and the reason why Tesla sued them).

Wrong picture and late delivery of this news.
