Everything coming off the assembly line is sold. GM never planned to produce more than 10,000 units in 2011 and all the production for 2011 is sold out. People have already put down their deposits.

huh...that's funny, wonder why just today the Wash DC area radio news announced Volt was opening the market here and in a few other cities. Last published Volt sales IIRC in March 2011 indicated less than a thousand sold.

Sure would appreciate you showing me an industry source to verify your assertion.

Didn't start sales until Dec 2010. Very limited production in limited markets. GM rolling out production very slowly. Special technicians need to be trained to service the vehicle. GM is proceeding very cautiously with such a radical new technology. The initial respond of Volt customers is nothing short of spectacular.

truthguy is anything but truthful.

Here’s a link saying GE is going to buy 12000 VOLTS, so the public isn’t buying these lemons.

General Motors has only sold 1,703 copies of the Chevrolet Volt through April, but the automaker plans to crank up the volume for the 2012 model year. GM has announced that it will shut down its Detroit Hamtramck plant for four weeks to prepare for 2012 Volt and Opel Ampera production. The upgrades will enable GM to build 16,000 total units this year, and in 2012 production will grow to 60,000 units; 45,000 of which will be destined for U.S. consumption.

When the 2012 model comes online, GM will begin to open up sales throughout the U.S. The 2011 model is only being sold in California, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The Volt and Ampera will also be shipped to Canada, China and Europe beginning later this year.

During the lengthy shutdown, GM will add new tools, install overhead conveyor systems and other equipment. The General will also set up the plant to build the 2013 Chevy Malibu during the four-week shutdown, though more work will be completed before the mid-size sedan is launched...
