It's 56m as per Wikipedia.

> 3) Its battery life is pathetic, so it makes up for it with a mediocre ICE to charge with. Wake me when it has a range near 1000 miles, which is what a setup like this should be sporting.

This is a serial electric hybrid. You are evaluating a metric that only really matters for an all-electric car.

A Volt (or any other car with a gasoline engine) can make a journey of 1,000 miles significantly faster than any car tesla makes. They can also be rescued if energy runs out with a common plastic container, instead of a tow truck.

An electric car is an excellent choice if your daily commute and fiscal budget allow it. (I know people whose daily commute is well over 100 miles each way.). But they are simply not the same category as hybrid cars, be those hybrids serial or parallel.

(And, yes, I know that the Volt's engine and likely the ESR have a physical connection to the drivetrain that is used at certain highway speeds. That makes it a semi-paralel hybrid, not an electric car.)

You Americans consider the freedom of speech a little too literally. If I were to claim that you are a proven pedophile all over the interwebs (let's say I have a good influence over there), I would be liable under French law - if you're not a pedophile that is. And I don't expect anything else from the law. If I claimed on national television I have proof that the new GM car can be fatal to kids under 5, their stock would plummet (again, assuming I have some kind of legitimacy on the subject) and I would be liable. And I don't expect anything less from my justice system.

Because words can cause real damage, words should be subject to the law.

Now, if I claim I am convinced you are a pedophile or I believe GM cars kill babies, then that's my prerogative and nobody can sue me for it. I'm entitled to my own opinion and to express it.

Are you high? You've clearly never lived in a Celsius country. We *never* say the decimal part, just integers are more than enough to give us the information we're looking for.

Just buy an iPhone. Apple doesn't cheat apparently.

They can't artificially boost performance without a drain on the battery.

Kim Dotcom lived outside the US. Did him good.

Until you chat with a friend, make dirty terrorists jokes, and this friend is thought by the NSA to be a terrorist. You'll find yourself interrogated before you know it.

There are countless scenarios that may see you regret this carelessness.

Turns out I am, thanks!

Meta moderation still exists? I haven't meta modded for years...

Well, yet, your country borrows a little more every year. By all measures, you spend more than you earn, and have been doing so for decades.

But I agree with you. You aren't out of money. But you live above your means. This invariably leads to be out of money, since the status quo seems to indicate that everyone in power is fine with this. The reason is simple: To be elected you need to be popular. The easiest way to be popular is to distribute money.

But don't worry, you're not the only country in this case, and you're most certainly not the worst. But you're definitely there, and going forward at full power.

Since the government is out of money, I'm not sure that's the wisest course of action. If anything, the federal government should learn how to solve issues without throwing green bills around. That would be a start in the right direction for a change.

Well, that was a typo, not a spelling error.

Haven't you heard the news? RIM is dead. There is most likely no version 10.2 coming at all. Actually, there is most likely nothing coming anymore ever.

That would be because the US represent "most people" or, to be more precise, "most people that count".
