This is a bad move. I understand the want/need to integrate navigation software with the truck's operating system for purposes of battery conditioning. Also, it would be a marketing nightmare if people are running their trucks dead because they are using CarPlay to navigate instead of the...

I don't think we can say it has decreased demand that much. They are still selling every one they can make (with a significant order bank outstanding) at the new starting price of $56k. I don't see GM leaving that much profit on the table. I could see them undercutting Ford by a thousand or...

Based on what Ford has done, I think it is very unlikely that a $42k (or even $50k) Silverado EV is ever made.

Based on what is seen here, it will probably be somewhere in the 235-240 kWh range total capacity factoring in charging loss and top and bottom buffer, with maybe 220ish kWh usable. The battery enclosure is slightly larger on the Silverado than the Hummer (per information from the enclosure...

And another one.

GM and a few others made tents like this for the Avalanche. I would expect one to be available for the Silverado.

It's a whole new world, and there is a lot to learn.

No it is not, the modules and components all need to be designed for 800V. GM is doing things slightly different though, with the ability to "stack" the pack electrically, the motors and everything down stream of the battery doesn't need to be 800V. This method allows for the faster charging...

EA or EVGo 350kW chargers support 800V, that is how they get those numbers. Current is limited to 500A by CCS standard, which is why 400V class vehicles top out around 200 kW. Rivian actually is around 450V, which is why it can go to around 220 kW.

Sign of the times. We can expect the Silverado to follow suit.

I would love to see some brighter colors. Bring back one of the oranges that you could get on the Avalanche.

It will be easy to take out regardless of topper or what is in the bed as it is done from inside the cab.

Probably not a slider, but you can take out the whole rear window when you need to pass something through. If toppers are anything like what they made for the Avalanche, they sealed on the c-pillars (sail panels), so you wouldn't even have to worry about rain like you would with a slider and a...

I didn't have problems with my Rivian. Guess it depends on the dealer though. I needed to top up on a trip to see family, and the EA station I normally use was closed.

I have seen 24-50 kw at dealers.

The glass can be removed independently. The gate itself will have to be up for the seats to be up, but you could remove the glass and have open air to the bed (or enclosed rear storage area if using a topper). The glass stores on the midgate behind the seats. I think that will be the best you...

Put it back under cover please!

It's going to take a lot of battery to get 500 miles. It is going to take a lot to get 400. Will be interesting to see when it is revealed. The slow reveal/teaser thing is getting a little long in the tooth.

Great! Interested to see how you like your Lightning when you get it. I'm sure they are prioritizing the Lightning now. They have had a huge media push, would be bad if they weren't pumping them out like they said they would. We considered the Mach E for my wife, but ultimately went with an...

Do you have a Rivian reservation by chance? Seems that would be more up your alley.
