Chevy Silverado EV Discussion

[insaneoctane]

I'm shocked at the price range. $39K to $105K. Quick google-fu offers:

How much is a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado?
The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado will start at around $30,000 for a base-level work truck and top out at over $70,000 for a fully-loaded High Country or ZR2 model.

The $105K Silverado (and $108K Hummer EV) demonstrates how GM doesn't know how to make EVs profitable yet. Don't forget dealer markups.

I have confidence that we'll see an affordable CT within 2 years. I have doubts about GM. EV Talk is still cheap in 2022...

Bed extends to eleven feet with the rear seats down. Where do the other 2 workers sit? Plastic bumpers on a full size truck. No thanks

This is a really attractive feature. CT rumored to have a fold down back seat also? Never owned an Avalanche but loved this feature. That and the external locking storage on the bed sides.

This is an amazing feature.

Damn, on paper this is a near-perfect truck for me excluding the sunroof option. Hope they add it at some point.

Not going to reserve it though, summer 2024 is quite a while away.

Yeah, I don't like the fixed glass roof on my Model 3. It seems like the design trend with all EVs is to create a glass bubble cockpit. Not sure why?

$105k plus destination and dealer fees. And for that reason, I'm out.

If this truck was $60k I would probably reserve one. You can tell it is going to take GM about 4-5 years to get EV prices down to realistic levels.

Website said $40K. There is no way I'm paying 105 for a Silverado...

$40k is the work truck model typical used is fleets. The loaded up RST model shown at the reveal is $105k plus destination and dealer fees. Once production ramps up they said they would offer additional models in the $50-80k range.

The $40k model. Not bad if you just want a 400 mile range basic pickup without the big wheels and tires, no air suspension, no 4 wheel steering, smaller screens, lower power output vs. the RST model, no multi-flex tailgate, etc. I would rather have an EV Tacoma for similar money if Toyota would brings it to market.

The $40K version doesn’t have 400 mile range…

The presentation has some slight of hand. “All versions unveiled today have 400 mile range”. But the $40K version was only mentioned in passing, it was not unveiled…

Typical marketecture. I am just going by info in the Motortrend article.

I found another Forbes article stating a 300 mile Standard Range pack will come later.

I could be wrong (or so could MT, which would be shocking, I know). I just don't think we'll see a 400 mile trim at $30K. Of course we surely won't be seeing any $30K trim for the next several years, so all this is moot right now. Wake me up when people can a) order it and b) will receive it within a year...

So far it seems that Tesla's price/range crown is in no danger of being taken away.

The $105K is similar to the F-150 Lightning. They also have a model at $40K with short-range (200 miles), basic interior, etc. But if you want one with high-end package, 300 miles range, and in year 1 or 2 of production you are at $96,000+
