I have said it everywhere, I am not buying a GM vehicle until they put the CarPlay back. I don’t think that people understand how important it is. Apple has a survey that shows that 80 percent of iPhone owners say that they are not buying a vehicle that doesn’t have it. There are only three manufacturers who don’t have it. Tesla was the first one. Then Rivian followed suit. And now GM on the EV side. If you believe the Apple rumors they are in discussions with Rivian to put CarPlay in place.
CarPlay does more important things than most people realize. It of course keeps your phone out of your face and hands when you’re driving. It makes the audio quality much better. It provides a great way to select your music. And of course it makes you have a great way to have phone calls when driving. I argue that it’s a important safety feature.

Ford drops a supercharged v8 raptor and chevy drops this piece of shit. Its like the blazer vs bronco all over again. Worst part is chevy has some gems like the 3. 0 duramax but they cant pull their head out of their ass for 3 minutes. No ones buying evs outside of california, ny and urban texas, why are they trying to push this thing so hard Just put a blower on the 6. 2 and put some real shocks on the zr2 and get some positive press for once.

Unlike what Stellantis tried, this actually looks like the concept truck gm revealed a couple years ago and I think that deserves some praise all on its own. They knocked this thing out of the park with the capability and power numbers. I really think the rear-wheel steering, usable battery capacity, and the mid-gate have officially made the Chevy Silverado EV the most versatile and best engineered premium fully electric full-size pickup.

at 1. 5kW/mile efficiency and 15 cent/kW electricity price (at home) this means that you can travel 14. 6 miles for what you’d pay for a gallon of regular gasoline in the midwest ($3. 30/g. the discussion has shifted so far away from efficiency and towards range that it’s hiding how bad the economics of EV trucks like this one are. also why 24 wheels that’s gotta be hurting both range and efficiency.

This will not be an unpopular opinion, with over 200kwh battery onboard and a gvwr over 10, 000lbs, i do believe legislative change is mandatory to require any driver driving this will need a CDL. A CDL might not completely negate the sheer mass this thing has against pedestrian, but at least it limits the driver pool to CDL holders who have prerequisites in their driving records.

What's the insurance going to be on something like this What's the repairability like when someone hits you just hard enough to lightly damage the battery pack Do they just total it out I actually think EVs make a lot of sense, I'm just wondering when the economies-of-scale are going to kick in and let me buy something non-Tesla with a gas-equivalent range for $40k instead of $95k.

Watch out of spec review and you know this is not the best truck. I smell something when you mention it is the best Electric truck. Sound system is just ok, interior has big screen but very plasticy, charge port location is not ideal, efficiency is just way off compare to others, you basically spend same DC charging money as gas. Tire option is very limited.

I'm sorry but the fact that the fleet truck of this kind is 80k puts it on shelf in unusable fantasy section. if they can't make it work, they should focus on some simple reliable hybrid Technologies until they can make EVs work. We could have been building competition of trucks with separated electric motors like Rav 4 has instead of this nonsense

I think Ford's approach is better. Yes, the Lightning's range is much lower but an XLT standard range is about the same price as an ICE XLT crew cab 4x4.
You will rarely need the range of the Silverado EV. It doesn't justify the price, in my opinion. If you need to tow long distances, get an ICE.

Doesn't matter what the performance is. IT IS A HUGE STEAMING PIKE OF when it's cold weather. Hell, it's that same thing everyday for me! I WILL NEVER BE BUYING AN EV! The damn things are a direct result of nothing but LIES & y'all are welcome to buy them, I won't be one of them!

When will manufactures figure out that for the same reason normal people don’t by luxury cars they also won’t by this. It’s too expensive! This should be $60K. The base should be $40K and the way things are going they WILL be after a year or two of depreciation.

200 kWh battery pack is not feasible. It will take much longer to charge and the cost to charge will be very high. GM is doing it again like their Tahoe, Escalade, and every other oversized inefficient trucks/suv. Big, inefficient, and obnoxious vehicle.

GM killed the Bolt, a small affordable EV people like, and then came out with this Stop chasing truck users, maybe get smaller EV cars for people who will actually buy them. I’m sure the Silverado has good specs but this is not the way to go here.

Front end looks pretty gross in my opinion. Also seems proportioned kind of weird. You can definitely tell it’s perched on top of a massive battery pack.
Should’ve named it the AvalanchE, would probably be getting way more buzz.

The previous vehicle by chevy to have such a pass-through, the avalanche, was a standard body on frame truck chassis. Chevrolet has hrld onto a patent since then severley restricting other manufatures from doing something similar

At my average $. 38/kw for my home electric bill in Souther California, this EV would cost around $80 each time you charged it from 0-100%. Something most people don't consider now that battery packs are absolutely massive.

Electric trucks don’t make sense. Just do a diesel generator electric drivetrain with half the battery pack. Make it more like a diesel electric locomotive or the other fantastic series hybrid for GM the mighty Volt.

I like song that was showing on the info-tainment system. Big Spender. Never heard it, but the title is more than appropriate when sitting in a $100k truck! If I hit the lotto, I might consider one.

100k for a truck that’s just crazy. There wouldn’t be trucks that expensive if suckers with too much money keep buying them but I’m all for it. I’ll buy one in 5 years at a 80% discount
