It appears that the Silverado WT is short of it's over 400 miles of range.

Silverado EV

I like how now Cybertruck fans are now saying “But But 450 miles” and “make sure you tow…..”
Aren’t they the ones who claimed the Cybertruck would be a “Towing Monster….” “500 miles of range….” Hahaha
Whatever the Silverado does doesn’t matter, they hardly have any Silverado EV Fans.

Seems bogus as you don't even know the type of driving. No info. Just some person saying what they saw on a range estimating screen based on the what? Last X miles of driving, "rated" range. All unclear. Nead real test like Kyle does to have any meaning at all.

Are you suggesting this data is all real? Or projected?Seems bogus as you don't even know the type of driving. No info.

EPA and usable kWh lets you do calculations. Spent a fair amount of time on some of it.
Lets you compare 'apples to apples'. In theory, you can hit them doing "EPA" speeds and conditions.
Similarly, I've used the MotorMatchUp data that does modeling to see all the Cybertruck data at various speeds and all the trim levels.

Range Extender data? More weight means less range so you have to add increasingly more batteries to maintain a linear range increase. Most efficient teslas are rwd with smaller battery packs. I don’t buy that the RE CT will only have a 6wh/mile efficiency hit.

Weight is not that big of factor once you are at speed. Kyle has proved this as have many others.
Example: How Does Payload Affect Range? We Max Out Our Rivian R1T's Carrying Capacity To Find Out! [link]
ASIDE: Cybertruck range for different trims.

I’m saying almost no way they this person actually rented a Silverado EV. They likely just sat in it and took a picture with their Hertz flag. Also it is probably the WT3 or a WT4 without a full charge and they just took a picture of the battery indicator.

What does that mean on the Chevrolet displays? My Chevrolet Volt used a GOM Guess-O-Meter which was based on the last XX miles of driving. What does the Silverado display? Tesla uses a calculated rated miles I think.
My notes:
More 'realistic' range: 'rated' in USA & 'typical' in non-USA
'Constant value' range: 'ideal' in USA & 'rated' in non-USA
Yes for the battery meter Tesla uses EPA rated range. You have to use the energy app to get estimated range based on current driving. In my teslas I keep the battery set to % as the miles are useless.
The Silverado EV doesn't make any sense. The thing weighs around 8K and only has a payload of between 1300 and 1400lbs. It weighs just as much or in some cases more than a Crew Cab Dually Pickup. The fully loaded version will most likely weigh even more.

But that's what you have to have when you want to have 400 miles
Why does that matter in the real world? That payload can easily support the tow rating.
All EVs are heavy. My model 3 weights ~20% more then comparable ICEs. My model 3 is more line with s class 7 series.

This is after 50 miles of driving in LA traffic. Also, this is what it says inside the door.

Very interesting Hertz dumped a bunch of TSLA's and ended up with some Silverado EVs. I would love to rent one.
I don't think ev PU trucks make sense for anything but sport trucks and being used locally.
If they haul (tow) much weight a hybrid or diesel makes sense. EV Cars yes, trucks towing heavy long distance... No.

For a fact Hertz doesn’t own one. Dealers would revolt like never before.
