Yeah the software is awful. Everything feels so clunky. It’s no comparison at all to the Cybertruck for sure, Not shocked they have lowered the price so much.
The Silverado has a ridiculous charging curve. It charges 0-100 15 min faster than the CT despite it's massive battery.
Regarding the FS edition: The $20k extra does include a minimum 7k-8k FSD value (likely far more once FSD is fully realized) and you also get a good 1k value from the lifetime connectivity, home charger $600 plus home backup ~3k, ATV wheels if that is your thing is another 1K (perhaps more once FS ends). All CT's also have a ~40% better drive train warranty (8 year, 150k mile) and larger super charger network. Not exactly worth $20k but you are approaching that figure. I would say if you want FSD then you really should be looking at it as more of a $10k upcharge even if nothing else you see as value.
We all have to remember the CT currently supports better charging than what we are currently getting due to Tesla's charging network not being caught up yet to it. Existing CT's are likely only to get better charging curves as more full v4 charging sites become available capable of 800v charging rather than 400v (unlike the current couple hybrid ones). The Silverado is also limited to this as well with the rarity the high speed charges capable of maxing it out (if you find one working).
Most pictures don’t accurately or adequately portray the gray color. I was pleasantly surprised and how much I liked it. Here’s another picture on a bright sunny day that doesn’t show the depth of the color but gives you some idea. Gray or white you can’t go wrong. Me-- going with gray, as my Cybertruck will be a work truck on the farm. That said, I almost got a white interior Model Y.
Agreed sbw and fsd. Huge
I was really tempted by the Chevy because of the mid-gate. Larger battery makes it better for home back-up, too, if that is important. I love tech, though - that is the main reason I stuck with Tesla. Even though I know they aren't perfect, they have the best battery warranty, drive-train, and tech (SBW, FWS). I also like the stark, utilitarian style of the interior (and exterior) of the CT but the real deal-breaker was Chevy had no FSD.The local Chevy dealer has had four Silverado EV WT on the lot for two months. Originally priced at $82k. Now discount and tax credit bring them down to $68,800. 200kw battery with over 400mile tested range and 10k tow. Zero to Sixty in 5.5 sec. larger front storage. Spare tire. Center dash display. 4WD Full Independent suspension on Eight lug rims and floating axles.
Downside -No four wheel steering by wire, Stainless, FSD, Cast unibody frame or adjustable air suspension.
I am a day one reserve and sick of waiting nearly five years while the guy down the street was dumb enough to cough up and extra 20k to jump ahead in line.
What am I missing?
Yeah, that, too. My last truck was a 1996 Chevy K2500 Suburban. I have yet to break the habit of having to keep a full set of mechanics tools with me everywhere I go.
