Click to Upgrade
On December 4 in Torrance the Southern California CAB members had a great meet up at GM’s facility in Torrance. That’s written up on the GM Volt CAB site. While I was there one of the Volt engineers said, “We’ll see you this week to upgrade the software in your car.” That was exciting news,

So Far
This was the download from last Wednesday. It does look like in this cold weather the range drops to a little over 30 miles. That still works for me, and it is almost never fifty degrees here in Southern California. Most of the fuel-powered miles were driven by the GM folk that had the car

A Losing Proposition
Ah, where the rubber meets the road. GM loses money on every Volt they build. That’s a little painful to read, especially when every time I talk to someone about the car they say, “Forty thousand is expensive…” Which it is, but not when you are trying to remove yourself from the oil equation. So

I’m a TWiT!
Er, maybe I’m ON TWiT. This Week In Tech. I clicked on “Download Video” to see it, but maybe your browser will be smarter. They misspelled my name, and that was after I wrote it down for them. I do look sort of like a twit

Charity Volt
This is quite nice. The very first Volt off the line in official production is going into a museum. (That car is known as Job 1, so it’s important.) The SECOND Volt is being auctioned off for charity. When I looked about ten hours ago it was up to $180,000 which is a little more
