Ok, maybe the Tesla is not an alternative. Even without a direct competitor, the Volt is like the answer to a question nobody asked. It has the looks and performance of a cheap econobox, has the cost of a premium sedan, and (IMO) isn't going to fool anyone into thinking it's cutting edge or cool. They needed to either make this thing much cheaper, even as a loss leader to generate buzz for future models, or actually make it a desirable car and charge even more. As it stands, it just makes them look clueless (which is perhaps a fair assessment).
