2024 Silverado EV WT Range Officially EPA Certified

[cvalue13]

You mean the Cybertruck with the range extender that goes as far with less battery?

you know it's less battery total, how?

you know Tesla will stick to its aspirations on the Range Extender's 130mi better than it did the 2019 "Tri-motor" 500mi, how?

you know the cost of this range extender, how?




I'm all for one-off speculation about where these things might land.

but to begin using them like known-knowns in order to declare the Cybertruck the 'winner' of anything, seems a habit folks might be thinking twice about these days

Neither does GM. They just keep kicking it down the road.

You are not in the market for an EV. You're going to spend so much time charging, you're going to hate it.

I've got an early reservation for both.

Only one of them has asked me to configure my truck. Neither are offering anything in the price they promised me.

if it makes you feel any better, Tesla's 2019 "500mi" and Tesla's 2023 "340mi" are not a full 160 miles different - likely a good bit less

You're better off buying an all-wheel drive Cyber truck and just getting the extended battery. If Range is the only thing you care about.

Just being a realist based on real owners reporting.... Out of the dozen or so range reports we've seen only one has seemed optimistic in getting close to the advertised EPA range. So based on the majority of range reports right now it doesn't seem likely the CT will even hit the 450 mile range mark with the extender. Plus you'll need to go to a service center to get it installed, it's going to add several hundred pounds of weight to the truck which will impact its range, lower payload capacity, and sacrifice significant bed space. It wouldn't surprise me if Tesla delays it for a few years or scraps the range extender altogether.

Don't compare highway to EPA.

And people with a new car aren't driving like an average person would.

EPA range test is based on a variation of city and highway driving. Almost all the range testing we've seen has been highway driving. One YouTuber, sorry I don't have a link, was able to get 380 mi out of the cybertruck. This was accomplished by driving under 65 with a good chunk of city driving. I can guarantee you the Chevy is not going to get 450 mi if you're driving 85 mph down the highway. That's the same problem everybody's having with the Cyber truck also is most of them are out west where the speed limit is much higher than the rest of the country. If you drive a cyber truck at country roads and drive at 55 miles an hour you'll probably get over 400 mi.

And neither am I. I think that you may be the only one using the word.

Again, no.
