Hello fellow Volt owners:
I was a little disappointed in the Model 3 after visiting the Tesla dealership for the second time. The price for the all wheel drive (the only other model is a rear wheel), was $65,000.00. It boasts a 310 mile range but you use between 20% to 30% of your mileage in below 30 degree cold with the heater on. I also fear two items. One; is the long range viability of the company. Two; What if Tesla decides to raise the rates on their super charger network or worse yet goes belly up and the Super Charge network closes down. You are then stuck with a car that you cannot travel far with.
I love my Volt. It is a blue 2016 and my second one. I purchased this one. I have no range anxiety. In the cold my ICE kicks in. I do not use my Volt for long distance travel so I try to stay on electric all the time. I still feel it is a trick car.
I will watch Tesla over the next year to see what develops.
