When I'm driving my Tesla, I want everyone to just get the F out of the way

On the way to the International Jazz Festival in Montreal last July, I stopped at a free Tesla charging station in a mall outside of Albany, N.Y., and found plenty of company. By VICTOR E. SASSON EDITOR Since I took delivery in April 2015, my Tesla Model S has given me more than 12,000 miles of effortless driving in a challenging environment -- northern New Jersey. Affluent Bergen County, where I live, has a street network that hasn't been improved significantly since the 1950s, and some of the lousiest, most discourteous drivers in the nation. They will cut you off without mercy, roll through stop signs right in front of you and tailgate or stop inches behind you at lights. OK. I get that drivers of conventional cars haven't gotten the message about just how fast all-electric cars are, especially how they can leap away from a traffic light in suburban driving. So, please, stop trying to race me or cut me off before you get to that double-parked truck on Cedar Lane in Teaneck o...

On a visit to Monticello, N.Y., an open top, manual transmission, deserted two-lane roads and a gorgeous fall day are an unbeatable combination. By VICTOR E.

Many sponsors Sponsors of the so-called Test Days included Detroit and foreign automakers, manufacturers of tires and automobile sound equipment, PR Newswire and the private club where the event was held.

Chevrolet Bolt -- GM's first pure EV -- is looking a lot like a $40,000-plus econobox

The 2017 Chevrolet Volt is expected to go on sale late this year, but will be available only in limited numbers, according to the automaker. By VICTOR E. SASSON EDITOR The good news for consumers is that the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV will have a starting MSRP of $37,495. But such options as front collision braking, forward pedestrian alert and OnStar automatic crash response is expected to push that past $40,000. In an email this week, Chevrolet delivered the bad news the Bolt will be available only in limited numbers this year. So, greedy Chevrolet dealers likely will sell each Bolt they can get their hands on for list, then pile on "added dealer profit," making the Bolt a lot less "affordable" than the company claims. There will be two versions of the Bolt -- GM's first purely electric production vehicle -- LT and Premier, but Chevrolet hasn't released the starting MSRP for the Premier trim level. The Chevrolet Bolt will have a 10.2-inch touch screen. 238-mil...
