Well it seems Dave Letterman’s thoughtless and derogatory Chevy Volt remarks didn’t just get our dander up, but has ruffled the feathers of the Father of the Volt himself, GM vice-chairman Bob Lutz.
Though moving towards retirement, Letterman’s derision of his brainchild has stirred the fighting spirit in our favorite ex-Marine.
Lutz wrote back on his blog how that clip of Letterman and Musk we showed here has “made the rounds” at GM, though he himself didn’t watch the show.
Lutz accurately pointed out that “Mr. Letterman made some gratuitously derogatory remarks about the Volt’s range, calling it ‘insane’ and ‘ridiculous,’ and in general appeared woefully uninformed about the Volt.”
He took responsibility for Letterman being so uninformed saying it was GM’s fault if he didn’t have the right information by now, but pointed out that if it had perhaps been supplied by Drew Barrymore, maybe Letterman would have noticed.
Finally our fearless leader did what he does best and challenged Dave.
