    I'm almost done watching it thanks to TiVo (on Speed Channel HD). There are only 2 more reruns in the next 2 weeks.

    I watched the portion where they showed Tesla Roadsters and Chevy Volts being assembled. For the Volt portion, this was the actual production line (Detroit/Hamtramck) unlike the pre-production work shown at http://priuschat.com/forums/chevrolet-volt/78136-ultimate-factories-man-made-chevy-volt-ngc.html.

    The Volt portion did perpetuate the GM lie that the the wheels are only powered by the electric motor.

    Just ... build ... the ... C-X75 .... please ... I'm begging .... :D

    It's great electrified cars are coming from all sides - high performance, mid, economy.

    Gas cars have done amazing things - on racetracks, road, dirt. Neat to see what is going on. Wow is that Volt complicated. :eek:
