I thought it would be fun to start a thread for people who have actually ordered and/or received Silverado EVs. I'd like to hear about ordering, shipping, seeing it and starting it up (doesn't apply to EVs) for the first time and driving away from the dealer. With pictures. First impressions...

I thought I would take a look at the web site to see what is happening. It is sad that there isn't even a pretense of anything new happening. I got to wondering how a web site can sustain itself if nobody looks at it. It costs money to run a web site. With no clicks, there are no advertisers...

First range test 23 hours ago a guy who posts under the name "JerryRigEverything" and his partner got ahold of a couple of Silverado EV RST's. I've been following the Silverado EV with a great deal of interest. This is tricky, because there is virtually nothing to follow. It was reported that...

I wonder if all the guys (and girls) waiting patiently for their Silverado EV's are bothered by production getting pushed back. It seems like all the talk of hundreds of thousands of them being made was just wrong. I don't think buyers were deliberately mislead, but maybe a little bit. 18 of...

A month or two ago there was a flurry of Silverado EV Work Truck test drives. They were mostly extremely positive. The big problem is that you just can't get one. I gave up and bought a Rivian R1T. It's a fun car that I like a lot. I call it a car because it's not really what you call a truck...

I've been reading horror stories of difficulties getting deposits refunded. I'm wondering if there are any success stories. Has anyone had their deposit refunded promptly and effortlessly? I probably won't be getting a Silverado because I bought a Rivian and I'm happy with it. There's still a...

You can hope all you want, but after a while reality sets in. I've watched as dates come and go and nothing happens. I recently sold a house in Salt Lake. I could buy a Silverado now and pay cash. I plan on paying cash because I'm over 70 and I don't want to be saddled with a huge car payment at...

I wonder if the Ultium platform will be flexible enough to incorporate superior battery technology when it becomes available. In other words, could you swap out battery cells with a radically different battery chemistry. That seems smart considering the rapid advancement going on now. Outmoded...

Here is some interesting information on the Silverado EV WT. GM Envolve

The newer than new (meaning non-existent) Silverado EV has been compared to the Chevy Avalanche. There are some members of the forum who have actually seen one, either at a show or on the street. I'm wondering about the size of the S/EV. Actual dimensions aren't available yet. Does it look the...

Some of you may have noticed there is another Silverado EV web site with a similar name. I check it once in a while. There is virtually no activity whatsoever. The last post was July of last year. There is very little activity on this site, but at least there is some. People are paying attention...

Most of the current crop of EV's are using the "skateboard" form. Meaning that the battery is flat and under the floor. What GM is doing isn't really different from all the others. GM has chosen to make a big deal of the "Ultium" platform. But is there such a thing? The Ultium platform comes in...

A few weeks ago I talked to a sales rep at a local (Provo) Chevy dealer. I was hoping to get some information. I said, "Isn't the WT [Silverado EV Work Truck for fleets] supposed to start rolling out soon?" He said, "Where did you hear that?" I told him I read it different places. I've read they...

Earlier this year I started a new hobby. I bought a Can-Am Maverick X3 and a trailer. It's a big one. I also bought some snow tracks for winter fun. I'm just minutes from the spectacular Wasatch mountains. It sounds like recreation heaven, but there is a problem. My aged Honda Ridgeline...

I need a new truck fairly soon and the two options are the Silverado EV and Rivian R1T. I don't like the Ford much. It's conventional look screams "old tech" for some reason. The availability of the Silverado is a huge unknown right now. They won't even start building them until next year. Next...
