Well, nothing to write home about, but it sold 390 through June. If you were judging by interior alone, I would pick the ELR as well. Cadillac has really done a great job on its interiors lately, really on par or better than the best from Germany. But it simply doesn't have the power needed...

If this isn't the right forum for this kind of news, I apologize, but from my hometown, whose news I still keep up with... Electric cars in New Orleans | News | Gambit - New Orleans News and Entertainment

I came here to specifically get the low down on this. The base gas model of the Fiat 500 costs $16,195. Presuming they make $0.00 profit off the gas model, then the 500e, which lists for $32,300 MUST cost 46,300 to produce meaning there is an additional $30,105 in tech/materials in the 500e...

There's nothing misleading about it. CR counts Tesla as a hatchback. Therefore, Impala is the best sedan. Anyway, for the patriotic brag we get to say this: Two of the best three cars on earth are American cars. Booyah!!! And Tesla fan or not, one has to be impressed with the culture change...

This article is about the new Ford Fusion and its growing sales. The interesting point about this is the way that Businessweek is buttressing an argument for the Fusion by throwing in a Tesla reference. Just two years ago the same point would've been something like this: "That's a Fusion he's...

Isn't this like the debate over digital v paper? "Don't you ever miss the tactile experience of flipping book pages?" Ultimately the debate doesn't matter. People will go for the superior technology. In ten years from now, all of the "disadvantages" of electric cars will be gone, and most...

It's a damned shame that they built something that beautiful and put such a weak ass engine in it. Come on man. That thing looks like a car that wants to shred. I know this is heresy here but I'd rather that thing be an all out gasser and have the power to match its looks than to have a Twizy...

How can something be so stupid and awesome all at once? It's like a Wayne's World episode turned into a car. Wait. Does this qualify as a car?

Umm, contact Solar City? They might have a solution.

Hello! Happy for you. I don't know how to get him to get that X for you, but you were able to convince him to get the Model S, so I guess your persuasion skills are pretty good. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

I actually have an affection for some of these small odd looking cars, but this whole thing has fly-by-night and I'm-screwed written all over it.

There could be huge fall out from the EV. This could be as disruptive as the industrial revolution to national and global politics. If Elon Musk is right that in ten years half the cars on the road will be EVs, then oil prices will drop significantly. Would Dubai of 2023 be Detroit of 2013? If...

Well, at that price I'd consider giving up walking.

Make your best educated guess. How long until we see the following vehicles on the road: An entry level vehicle with a starting price of $19,995 that has an EPA five cycle range estimate of 250 miles. An up-market vehicle with a starting price of $27,000 that has an EPA five cycle range...
