so, how about them volts..

[luke23]

Anyone got one? I seen a few of them at the start of last year at a dealership but I dont think Ive seen one being driven on the roads, like ever, anyone know any sales figures or anything for them? I was always interested to see how they would sell

I have seen a couple of them on the road, one actually out near where I live, and I live in the middle of nowhere pretty much, so that was a shock. Can't imagine they sold too many though because you hardly see them and I have never even seen one at the dealer or in the showroom.

Apparently you can use EFIlive to tune all sorts of bits on these, particularly the (ESC) or torque controller.
A guy in the US sells a remote flash tune that enables the Volt to do 0-100kph in 5.5 seconds... and other "hacks".
There is huge potential, amazing piece of kit for $50k really.

They're much closer to $60k actually ($59,900 or so), so you wouldn't expect to see many of them. Same thing around here - never seen one on the road and none at the dealer. They must be kept in small numbers somewhere and only supplied on demand.

Yeah I seen like 2 or 3 at a dealership when they first came out with big door banners that said volt on them (so maybe they were just there for promotional purposes), and the dealership got a wall thing installed that specially charges them aswell, after all the advertising and stuff I honestly thought they would be the next big thing in Aus, thought theyre would even be volt taxi's and stuff, guess I was wrong haha

There isn't really many places you can recharge them, unless you can use the power at home in the garage. Not sure if I would ever get one, wouldn't be cheap to replace the batteries and I would be worried about how long I have until the car just stops while driving.
