If an AutoblogGreen writer is in Los Angeles, there's a real good chance they're going to want to visit the new Tesla Motors store. So, that's what we did. We're aware that there are people out there who are judging the Tesla Roadster and Chevy Volt by different standards, but that didn't make the short test drive any less fun. Meanwhile, we might be seeing the end of body on frame SUVs from GM.

How do you compare the Volt with the Tesla on any scale? Based on the volt specs I saw at http://www.chevy-volt.net it sounds seriously underpowered even with the new A123 batteries and all the other bells and whistles!
