Thanks for sharing the link. I was hoping to see some photos so I could compare to the Bolt, but either the site wasn't working right for me or it's all video

Lots of pretty dancing girls, they must be trying to position it as a sexy car. That might work in the short term, but not when the Model 3 is available.

Where have you been for the last 50 years? ANYTHING marketed to men (and this advert is obviously is geared towards men) is usually presented as making oneself more appealing to women. It doesn't matter if it is whiskey, toothpaste, cologne, automobiles, beer, clothing or whatever (well, maybe not hemorrhoid creme).

I found it absolutely hilarious that the understory of '500km-long range' (where driver charged at beginning, but never again during advert) was Berlin-Paris-Berlin, for two reasons :
1) WWII anybody?
2) Berlin-Paris is about 1000 km, one-way.

And here are two pages with tons of photos:

Well, I don't recall any Chevy Volt ads with dancing women...

My bad. I should have typed "is likely to be" or "has a good chance of" instead of "usually".

I also forgot the smiley after " Where have you been for the last 50 years? "

I'm a tiny bit surprised they haven't figured out how to market toilet paper with a "it'll make you more attractive to the opposite sex" approach (implied or explicit). The fact that they market beer that way has always made me chuckle (because it works, apparently).

Looks spacious enough as an average size looking man gets out of it with ease at the beginning of the video
