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

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.
