  1. Chevy Silverado EV RST functionality (tailgate, rear window, midgate, range, HUD) blows away Cybertruck

    R1T is a Tacoma competitor playing into a 500k per year market in the US. If it can hit a 10% market share in the mid-sized market, it will increase its sales by 400% vs 2023 (~12k R1Ts) The full-sized truck market is 2.2 million in US so CT is playing into a domestic market that is 4X thee...
  2. Chevy Silverado EV RST functionality (tailgate, rear window, midgate, range, HUD) blows away Cybertruck

    Tesla did the really stupid thing and short-changed the battery by 20 kwh. If they just bumped by 20 kwh they would have added a solid 50+ miles of range, handily beat most competitors and been close enough to the Chevy that is does not matter. The incremental pack cost is only $3k for 20 kwh...
  3. Chevy Silverado EV RST functionality (tailgate, rear window, midgate, range, HUD) blows away Cybertruck

    Really nice. I have been invited to configure an RST first edition but only in black (srsly?). At this point I am sticking with the Rivian, but GM did exactly what it said fit would and then a bit. Tesla's multi-year distraction on a niche vehicle like CyberTruck is already costing it dearly in...
  4. Order Book Open on Silverado EV

    So far my expert dealer has discerned: "GM has not officially released exact pricing ... it would come in the RS trim, or WT trim. Manager says there are limited color options ..." They are going to send me the build options (and, yes, I know this is for the RST, my dealer does not). n.b. one...
  5. Order Book Open on Silverado EV

    So far I have learned that the dealer does not know what options, colors, etc. are available or what the price is. As usual, GM foiled by the incompetence of its dealer network.
  6. Order Book Open on Silverado EV

    to be clear, I am not buying one ... lol. I bought the dual motor R1T. Best fit for my needs. Will share what I learn re pricing options etc.
  7. Order Book Open on Silverado EV

    Got the email inviting me to order... delivery by June Comes with Free Charger 10k towing 400 mile range 5' 11" bed Super Cruise 4 wheel steering 350kw max charging 0-60 4.5 sec We shall see...
  8. Considering Trading in my New Cybertruck for a Model X

    Are you able to do the free FSD transfer from the CT to the Model X?
  9. New Rivian configurations, lower prices

    There is some risk with Rivian for sure, but I think even in a bad case it will get bought not go into liquidation (same IMO with Lucid). There are a bunch of vehicles I would not buy because I expect them to die - Fisker, Faraday, Canoo, etc. - but I think Rivian and Lucid will live. No one...
  10. New Rivian configurations, lower prices

    I cancelled my CT Founder Series order (lost $500). Happy with the decision. R1T is a much better vehicle for me for many different reasons. Not least, smaller footprint, better range, better amenities (e.g. homelink, gear tunnel, spare tire, etc.) and I pocketed nearly $20k. Will be much...
  11. New Rivian configurations, lower prices

    Am picking up a Dual Motor R1T (large pack) tomorrow. That was the right balance of functionality and amenities for me (and $19k cheaper than the DM CT foundation). OTOH the reality for Rivian is the business makes or breaks with the R1S which is 70% of its volume. I think adding a 300 mile+...
  12. Just drove the Silverado EV (Hertz rental)

    Vin confirms it’s a 3WT epa rated at 393 miles. https://www.decodethis.com/vin/1GC10UED5RU200482
  13. 2024 Silverado EV WT Range Officially EPA Certified

    GM is telling reservation holders the RST will start deliveries in next 5 months. That makes sense because they have published the full feature list to dealers (below). I have a reservation - am not likely to follow-through with it since I've decided an R1T will be a better overall solution for...
  14. Cybertruck vs Rivian vs Lightning! Comparison & Recommendation by Out of Spec Kyle

    On the range, Kyle is comparing a quad motor R1T with AT tires (epa rated 289 miles) to the dual motor CT. The Dual Motor R1T has an EPA range of 352 miles on road tires (max pack 410 but not sure that is really real). Everyone has access to the Supercharger Network in the coming months. I...
  15. Help. Why not the Rivian?

    I have a day 1 reservation during the 12 minutes before they "sold out." Have been on the list for just over two years, so I should be in line to get a Launch Edition RST as soon as it is released (in Spring 2023 lol).
  16. Help. Why not the Rivian?

    It seems to be very personal. My wife loved driving the R1S and found the seats no issue. I am really hoping this is addressed in the Mid-cycle refresh on the R1 coming in second quarter (when they do the plant shutdown). For me personally, it looks like this summer will be the next episode in...
  17. Help. Why not the Rivian?

    Rivian R1S owner - generally love the vehicle two things I think are much superior in the Tesla: Autopilot / FSD and Seat Comfort (assuming CT is similar to other Teslas, but I find the Rivian seats uncomfortable in longer drives and putting pressure on the nerve in my leg). The latter is...
  18. How many CyberTruck prospective buyers have even driven a Lightning or a Rivian?

    Was thinking about the title of the thread: "Wondering how many Tesla owners and prospective CyberTruck buyers have even driven a Lightning or a Rivian?" and wondering how many may have migrated to the Lightning or Rivian. Got me to wanting to make the obvious point that the total number of R1Ts...
  19. How many CyberTruck prospective buyers have even driven a Lightning or a Rivian?

    I think the ride quality has improved significantly with the latest update on the R1S. I have not ever been a passenger in the back seat so I cannot speak to that, but as a driver I think it has gotten a big improvement. That said, I am expecting a better, quieter ride quality with the CT and...
  20. How many CyberTruck prospective buyers have even driven a Lightning or a Rivian?

    FWIW, I fear the ground-up platform will be insufficiently interesting to drive adoption. If we looked Farley in the eye and asked: is T3 the very best truck you can buy from Ford, would the answer be an unequivocal yes? Does it have your best technology, your most innovative design, is it your...
