How did it get from Michigan to California? By rail car I bet.

at 40 miles a day it would have taken nearly two months to drive it here. These cars are about as efficient at cross country travel as covered wagons. Who in their right mind would purchase one? And who in their right mind would manufacture one?

The Volt is a product of collective insanity.

The Volt has a 9.3 gallon fuel tank. Why not try filling it up with gasoline so you can go beyond the 40 miles when the battery charge runs out? That's what I would do instead of waiting for it to charge up every 40 miles. It gets 37 mpg on the gasoline engine and can go about 380 miles before needing to fill up again.

I mean, the way you would drive to California in a Volt is like how a union worker would do it.
