Contrast that to the Volt which has so far undersold predictions so badly that you now have workers at the Volt assembly lines being sent home for 5 weeks due to lack of demand.
If everyone that shares your 'I would love to buy a Volt myself, but....' attitude actually bought Volts themselves, it would have surpassed expectations instead of failing to meet them. Since we are talking about why electric cars dont sell, I'm curious, why didn't YOU buy a Volt?

I'm talking about the cars BEFORE the model T obviously. And I was referring to the potential of the electric cars to sell once the kinks are worked out with the tech and they become more affordable, just like every other new technology.
