Top comments from skeptics - electric cars are slow and they can't go far.
Best way to convert the skeptics - make an electric car that is fast and goes far.
Compare the production numbers of the Geo Metro to the Porsche 911. Then do a survey to find out how many people have heard of the Metro vs the 911. If you want the word out, you don't build metros.
Can't blame them for not making the electric car you want. They are making the electric car that people will talk about. Their own internal management and production failures have nothing to do with company direction, they just suck at management and production.
But then again... the Volt generated much more press than the Tesla. Kudos to GM (haha... can't blieve i typed that) for that effort... too bad they'll be belly up before they make one.
I think the fact of the matter is, we're going to wait for a japanese auto maker to make the first 10k+ production of an electric vehicle. At this point the north american auto market whimpers and dies and we all happily drive Hondas, Toyotas and Mitsus.
ps - yeah, a lotus is a sports car. A mustang is a muscle car. A mustang is NOT a sports car.
