The heart of the matter at choosing a Silverado was cost. For five years I planned to own a CT. It was a tough decision canceling my order. I just couldn't justify spending $100,000 on a CT when I could save $32,000 ($12,000 GM discount) on a very good pickup. The Cybertruck is still the best...
Out of principle or stubborn resentment or just plain cheap. I purchased the Silverado EV. Having driven both, I definitely enjoyed the CT more but not $32,000 more. I could wait but why. I was 58 when the CT was announced and at 63, I'm not waiting another two or three years for the price to...
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...
Just got back from test drive. Road feel is spot on. Handled rough terrain and large bumps firm but LandRover smooth. Nearly a foot longer than the CT, the turning radius is very good. Visibility over the hood is poor compared to the CT. Interior is basic. Climate control is very good (I still...
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...
Coming up on five years since my order. Annoying to see late order people paying the 20k special "get your truck now" fee. Held out investing the money pigeon holed in the thought that I would be driving it two years ago. Who's the idiot? This guy.
Does it come with an idiot proof tailgate disabler? It's gonna happen. Nice idea but too many downsides. Wind drag, cost, inconvenience, camera blocked, shimmy, increased length and it doesn't seem like a tight fit. Hope to see more of your thoughts after practical experience.
You want on the ride before all of the people who waited in line? Sure but, your'e going to pay for it. I just received my invite to order the Foundation and like many of us, the proverbial rug has been pulled out from under me. Understandably, a company's goal is to profit. A good company has...
A message to every person who mentioned price increase. Stop it. These are read by the bean counters and stock holders. It was no surprise that we wouldn't get a tri-motor for 69,900 but it was a gut punch when it was 100k. I blame these people for encouraging this. We didn't get 500 mile range...
Columbia Gorge HWY. 65mph, high winds, hills. I would think autopilot would account for terrain and not self engage regen if it's statistically inefficient. Steep grades and stop signs I understand but not gentle hills where a maintained speed is required. Good thread here.
Does cruise work the same? I love the challenge of squeezing energy and playing with efficiency but my wife wants to simply get from A to B. She has a 250 mile round trip each week that I am hoping will be a one charge journey. This being my first EV, I am asking if there is a setting for...
I ordered next morning and have no clue when to expect to see a shiny box in the garage. Days, weeks, months or years? 58 when I ordered. Probably 63 before I receive. The initial excitement has turned to numb enthusiasm.
What a tragic waste of person. Guessing you are close to forty. So, if someone who was seventy ordered the CT and is now 74, how does that sound? Adding lost parents into a post? Young fella, I'm deeply sad and disappointed that we may be driving the same vehicle. Bad news, the CT doesn't come...
