Because I know you're SO concerned, he hangs over at the gm-volt.com forum. Part of today's quote by him:

Obviously, I need not remind everyone to validate sources and review the latest conspiracy theories on ethanol before citing to those figures.

I guess he is so excited about the Volt that their forum is keeping him busy.

Tesla has gone Volt-happy as well.

12/07/2007 "The Tesla, world’s most expensive paperweight."

He better not be right about that.

Sounding like Kent got a low level job at GM.

I don't think this guy works for GM, he's a big fanboy for Lightning and Fisker. Actually just about anything other than Tesla.

My guess is he worked for Tesla and got fired, or maybe wanted to work there and got turned down. There must have been some sort traumatic event that made him so vehemently anti-Tesla.

No matter, I don't think there's many folks who take him seriously.

Nah. I figure the guy just got a bug up his ass about Martin for some unknown reason. If you checked his profiles on Amazon, you'll see that our man hones in on individuals; concepts and ideas are just vehicles for his personal attacks. Remember all his comments about Martin's "arrogance"? Now that Martin is doing other things, there's no fun in attacking Tesla.

He is very "anti-west-coast", having gone after Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc.

Apparently the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car" really rubbed him the wrong way, and he has been flaming everyone who had anything to do with that movie.

Here is yet another link I missed before
(click on the ->Details link next to his posting)

And another, and yet another

Thomas C Gray continues to "tag team" with Kent Beuchert:
11/21/2007 kent beuchert: "I'm amazed at the ignorance of the posters here."
__________ Thomas C Gray: "I don't know why the folks on this board don't knowabout gm-volt.com."

Thomas C Gray ("TC Gray") follows up Kent Beuchert again...

11/11/2007 kent beuchert: "EEStor has been making claims that no one believes."
__________ kent beuchert: "EV-1 drivers came to acquire negative views of their EV-1s."
__________ TC Gray: "I live in a Florida retirement community...We all use golf carts..."

I don't suppose that is the same "Thomas C Gray" who ran an oil royalty trading company... ?

11/12/2007 kent beuchert: "The Tesla story is over"..."The plug-in Lightning has totally eclipsed the Tesla in every way and is a livable vehicle"...

Real shame... A nice, positive Tesla article, and his is the only response.
(Edit: it looks like that site has removed his comments now)
