Looking forward to getting one at year end. Much better than Z06 in many ways. The reviews are very good across the board. :yesnod:

If it can beat GrandSportC3's Plaid at a stoplight I'm in.

Are there spokes in the wheels so you can do this to give it some growl?

The batteries will outlast the car and the rechargeable batteries are required to be covered for 8 years under federal mandate. I probably won’t keep the car that long, but if I had to replace, imagine that in 8+ years, the price will be very manageable.

Didn't watch or read or wait for it to load. EV's of any type are less exciting than an electric razor. Or what makes an amusement park ride motor work.

I like cars with ENGINES that run on FUEL.

You should try to read or watch. Then you wouldn't have made such an ignorant comment. :yaddy:

You are assuming that economies of scale and advanced tech will bring down the prices of those batteries, just as happened with flat screen TV's. The fundamental difference is, the batteries require raw materials that are expensive to mine and refine even if you can find enough places TO mine.

I'd say the bigger concern is that as more EV's are sold, the demand for replacement batteries will way outstrip the availability of those replacement batteries.

The fatal flaw of the whole "green energy" pipe dream is there is no way to economically store power. We're having to adjust traditional stable energy production, coal and natural gas fired electric plants, to adjust to the fickleness of solar and wind production.

EV's are throwaway cars. The Bic lighter of the automobile industry.

EV's are throwaway cars. The Microwave is a throwaway stove The iPhone is a throwaway phone, the Computer is a throwaway. All i know is if i won the 450 million dollar lottery i'd have 3,000 tractors

Many of these comments are just plain wrong - this is gonna be a helluva car - FAST, capable, amazing. Faster 1/4 mile than the Z06 but made for street and highway performance driving vs. the Z06 more of a true track car.

See this review Jay Leno did with Tadge ....

IF I was buying a C8, this would be the one. It has only one battery, A Li-po - proven technology , long lasting - warrantied for 8 yrs 100,000 miles. Sounds great, handles great, all wheel drive ....

Better if WE keep the ignorant ignorant, as will be less of a wait to get one.

The reviews are strong. Unless you consistently track, get it over the Z06. :yesnod:
