I believe the 2016 volt will be a 5 seater. I have a '14 and the storage space seems fine to me. No kids though. I did put 14 large bags of mulch in the back

  Individual needs will, of course, vary. But if you need more space, the Tesla will give it to you. The Volt's trunk volume is only about 10ft^3, whereas the Tesla has 26ft^3 in the trunk and another 5 or so in the front. I'm leaving on a small road trip tomorrow, taking four adults, two children, and luggage for an overnight stay. Total driving will be about 350 miles. All electric, obviously. I should only need one charging stop, at a supercharger, but may take advantage of public chargers in garages and such while I'm parked, just for convenience. Obviously a lot of that difference is just because the cars are different in general, and not the drivetrains specifically. But the Volt does sacrifice a lot of volume because of the need to support two entire drivetrains at once.
