This is a bad idea. You are getting the free adapter, just wait for the supported one to arrive. While the chances are rare that there would be an issue, if there ever is, you may have liability issues using an unsupported adapter (ie Tesla goes after you for damages to a Supercharger, and...
Wonder if GM will do the same.
Rivian has also committed to providing free adapters, though in typical Rivian fashion, they have no timing, and even when they do announce the timing, it will be missed by several months.
Importantly the adapter Ford is releasing looks to be exactly what Tesla...
It was easy to start the cancellation, even got an email from the dealer within a day saying they would start the refund. However it took 2 months and several emails to actually materialize.
There is not a release on the charger side for the cable lock. Both CCS and NACS use a solenoid in the vehicle inlet to lock the cable when charging. The only improvement from CCS to NACS is that CCS also has a finger actuated latch on the charging cable, which if broken can prevent charging...
All we know is that they will start shipping some models with native NACS in 2025. Not sure which models will be first or when they all might switch. Either way it really isn't a big deal, in the short term you will need an adapter one way or the other to utilize the full charging network...
Rivian has Alexa built in for voice control. Have a look at the manual to see the kinds of things you can control (access the manual through the app, or via the central screen). The cruise resume is kind of annoying, but you get used to it eventually. I never used USB for media files on other...
GM hasn't missed dates on the Silverado, they were never supposed to be available until this fall or early next year depending on the trim level. That is also why you haven't seen any reviews yet, but I think I heard from a few outlets that first drives are coming soon, so you will see a little...
Definitely understand that. Fullsize trucks have gotten way too big. Maybe you would be more comfortable in a Rivian, it is what I would call right-sized. Basically between today's midsize and fullsize trucks, very similar in size to the GMT800 trucks I had in the past. I spent a lot of time...
The Avalanche was last seen a couple generations of truck ago when trucks were more reasonably sized. The Silverado EV will be sized like modern trucks (ie bigger). The bed itself is a foot longer than the Avalanche, which I don't think is a bad thing, and overall size is nearly identical to...
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 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...
