Maybe it’s the retro-futuristic style or reminiscent of sci-fi and cyperpunk, but I genuinely really like the design.

I would never buy one due to the MYRIAD issues plaguing the stainless steel body, interior build quality, or give Tesla money. But still a cool looking car, if nonfunctional truck.

    I think there are now several EVs with a range of 6 hours or close. More importantly high speed chargers are becoming more common: that’s the important factor to look for

    I did a 1,200 mile road trip with absolutely no range issues because there were plenty of high speed chargers on my route plus trip planning software that optimized for them. Stops were 10-20 minutes and corresponded well with grabbing a bite and using the facilities

      Absolutely. But last I checked Arkansas and Oklahoma are near the bottom as far as high speed chargers availability; I live near the border now.

      I’m hoping that the Volt lasts at least another decade, and the EV situation may have changed quite a bit by then. I might even find myself in a situation where I could not own a car and still do everything I want to.
