Don't change the rules to suit your weak argument. I am comparing a PHEV Chevy to two Ford PHEV, of which the Fusion is not a part of (hence the factual link provided for your education). Ask yourself this. Why in the world would anyone compare sales of a PHEV with a hybrid? Hell, if you want to go that route, then Prius spanks all of them. Try and keep up yourself before calling me a dork. And the link your buddy provided is about the Bolt, not the Teslas I was talking about. Again, try and keep up here before claiming a superiority that doesn't exist.

They were. Those numbers were pulled from Fords own numbers. Thanks for your concern though. Really? The Fusion Energi has sold just over 14,000 for year, putting it squarely behind the Volt. In fact you'd have to combine sales of the Fusion and the C-Max Energi to get a few hundreds above the one Volt for the year You're welcome in advance. http://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/

Good for you. The difference here is (and the reason why I brought it up in the first place) is that seeing them around town in the Phoenix heat encouraged me to ask some of those owners (at the many charging stations around here although one was a friend of my boss) about their experiences with their Teslas. Understand the context now or is being a baby about it easier for you because of who said it?

Its called real world ownership experiences as opposed to useless paper stats and maybe you should refer to the link above regarding other owners experiences. Which would one believe more? Paper stats or real world ownership experience? Hmmmm. It doesn't take an engineer to figure that one out but I'm not here to convince you of a damn thing anymore so take that for what it's worth. What the hell do I know though. I just happen to live in the hottest part of the country and see these things riding around everyday.

Here's a link from a Tesla owners site regarding that very thing. They all have the same consensus about the range in the heat and the FUD spreaders are not going to like it. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-and-summer-heat.58329/ Now cold winter months are a bigger issue but even that is not as bad as some are making it out to be and the fact of the matter is that most of this country doesn't experience the type of harsh winters that would negatively affect these EVs. Furthermore, most of these owners probably have a second car so they could just not drive an EV as much in the cold winter months to compensate for it.

There are quite a few Tesla S cars in Phoenix and I have talked to three owners who have all said that their range is just as good now as it was when they first bought them (two of them were first year S models). Also, they have said that they literally lose maybe a few miles of range in the summers here (mostly due to heavy use of the A/C) so we can debunk this excess heat non sense when Phoenix drivers are saying something completely different. The only car here that has been known to take a sizebale hit due to the heat here has been the Leaf but this has been well discussed as to the reasons for this.

My thoughts exactly regarding the transmission. There is no reason for the V8 exclusion other than an economic one. Just sucks that they won't do both engines.

Trying a niche is not the problem but they could and should have added a V8 to that niche, seeing as how they have had AWD with the 5.7L in the past on the exact same platform.

Agreed and anyone who would take a car like that through a foot of snow, AWD or not, needs their head examined. Physics will take over at that point. Again this is coming from someone who would take a Challenger in a heartbeat over the Camaro or the Mustang.

In fairness though, the Camaro would get a pass but it's because it's much lighter than the Challenger and the addition of AWD would not hurt it that much. A V6 Challenger is just too heavy to justify the addition of AWD. That is the biggest problem with it. Just my opinion though.

So is accepting responsibility for your own actions. Case and point, this^^. You were not trying to "air out differences" in that PM. You were sniping me and accusing me of getting that thread closed. You'd do well to understand the difference or just stop talking to me altogether because your current path is going to find you in the same place you were in last year, as the live member of the quitters group. That is the the last thing you will hear from me directly so either you can actually be a man and move on or you can bitch later about why you were dealt with.

That is my biggest single gripe, space. I like versatility and some folks here can say what they, but my old Magnum was the best car I've ever owned in terms of said versatility. I have thrown more junk into that car than most people have with their Suburbans. Just mulling over whether or not the space sacrifice is worth it.
