#4 Maybe the government-subsidized Volt is a secret way to subsidize the trial lawyer industry, a vital mainstay of Dem fundraising.

#5 The govmint's not good at this. They are really p!ss poor at recognizing that needs and wants drive markets. The design process supports market demand. Risks are attendant to this process. The USSR used to turn out bras for women that looked like they belonged on the grill of a 1950s Buick. Women did not want to buy them; they were just too ugly. Allocation of resources by a statist government just does not work.

#7 I hear that Mullah Richard, pretty darn excited about a giant battery on fire, nevermind the super strong frame to make it light weight & enough airbags to be road worthy, which makes extrication a joy, assuming the passengers have not been folded into the glove box.

Good news is the Volk has an auto self-destruct so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
