We're probably going to need another car in 10 years and a new truck in 15, so may consider hybrid.
My wife was driving our two little kids, both in car seats in a Pontiac that we used to have and the wiring harness burnt up, sending her and her two chicks running away from it. There were no protectve fuses on any of the branches either, so the whole thing was toast. The Subaru that I had at the time had an on-line fuse wherever the system branched to prevent that sort of total failure.
They still make crap. They deserve to go bankrupt. This time around they will, too.
Would YOU buy an electric car from GM?
They'll be bursting into flames in the show rooms. Everything on them will suddenly go "keeboing" the day after the three year warranty expires.
So, what do you do differently? She was just driving the car with two kiddies in the back seat. What special procedure do you need to follow before starting up a GM product?That shit can happen with any car if you don't know what you're doing!

She was on a suburban street going about 50 km/hr ... nowhere near a highway.I've never had need for special procedure, just drive at the posted speeds and do regular maintenance and when in doubt SLOW DOWN.

You really are clueless.

Planned obsolescence.
One more reason Tesla's are so superior. Made to last
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEMERhoid has lost it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tesla battery is TOAST AFTER TEN YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And replacement cost of the battery is more than a ten year old car is WORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Replacing an old Tesla battery is as bad as putting a brand new engine into a gas car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HemerHOID has DEGENERATED...........................................
in his own version of planned obsolescence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has gone from BAD LIAR...................................................
down to LUDECRIS LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Pontiac Vibe, aka the Toyota Matrix was not engineered by GM..As good as the Teslas may be I wonder how they would compare with the Pontiac Vibe for both performance and operating costs. We bought the 2005 Vibe in 2009 and so far the only major repair has been to replace the starter, and the battery once, otherwise just tires and routine maintenance.

Lucky thing, eh?
Absolute certainty.
Sorry.
Can't read your post.
The font is too small.
If you own a vehicle that is dependable and is costing you very little money except for routine maintenance your best bet is to keep it until you run it into the the ground or you are confronted with a big bill. You ALWAYS take a beating when trading in a vehicle.
