I'm going to be towing it after all. I just got word that VW is not doing the $299 leasing deal for people purchasing out of state so the car needs to be registered in CA...lucky I have a home in California I can register it to.
The one I've pre-ordered is only the 2nd one they have received...
I was told today they are going to be sold in 11 states and shipments are starting to get distributed. I think the reason California seems to be getting them quicker is because of the shipping ports they are arriving at. As far as I know, Nevada isn't even set to sell the e-Golf anytime this...
The e-Golf I just preordered yesterday is ready for me to claim. I was given the option of having the paperwork FedEx'd to me and the car loaded up on a truck and shipped out to Vegas from Santa Monica (250 miles). Definitely not satisfying, but better than driving 4 hours one way to L.A. just...
Just spoke with Chris Weller, the eGolf specialist at Volkswagen of Santa Monica (310) 829-1888. They have eGolf's sitting at the port waiting to be distributed to the dealers. Depending how far down the wait list you are and what color combination you want will determine the wait. No exact time...
For me, the extra price is worth the extra cargo space and range... Of course I drive 55 miles daily and have a 4.5 month old boy.
Ford Focus - 14.5 cubic ft. / 76 epa range
eGolf - 22.8 cubic ft. / 83 epa range
Hi guys,
I contacted VW Santa Monica ( same people who sold the first eGolf on Oct. 31 / http://www.volkswagensantamonica.com/ ) yesterday in regards to when they would be getting the eGolf. Turns out they are accepting pre-orders.
If you are in another state like me (Nevada), you can do the...
The B-Class also has poor handling reviews compared to other EV's. After building one on the website, the price when adding a few upgrades is $47k-$50k...Ridiculous price for what's offered. The MB is mainly for those that stick with the brand and want nothing else. Personally I don't care who...
GRA: Sorry, you are correct. I did mean to say "Chevy Volt".
I've looked into the Kia Soul and its not really my style. The Mercedes B-Class is another one that I've really considered. The thing that has been a deterrent for me is that I've read it takes around 30 hours on a 120v outlet. With...
Here's my personal take on the subject:
I started a new job a few months back where my roundtrip daily commute is 55 miles (89km); I drive a 2002 Porsche Carrera 4. Love the car, but I now have 4-month old son whom I pickup most days (the wife has the family car). The car is about to be retired...
