I flew into LAX and had a car reserved with Hertz. I wanted a Model Y or 3 but they were out.

The next option was an EV6 or similar. I got to the spot and it was a Silverado EV with only 9 driven on it so far.

It drives great like you would expect from an EV and had 1 pedal driving so I was happy with that. I had to use Apple car play since they didn't have a data package
on it. It said 365 miles when it was at 100% charge. I still have tomorrow to mess around with it so I will check it out more tomorrow. I just
got off a flight from Tokyo so I didn't really feel like digging into it today.

So far though, I want the Cybertruck way more though even though I never drove one lol

But...but...450 miles range!!!
Make sure you tow a Hummer to the mountains in 30-degree weather at 70 mph before you turn it in and let us know how it goes!

Nice. Let us know your thoughts post return.
I also have a reservation for one of those, (first 5 minutes of reservation opening on day 1), but I haven’t heard a peep from GM.

Because of the smaller pack, the 3WT payload increases by 350 lbs to 1,750 lbs, maximum towing goes up by 2,500 lbs to 12,500 lbs, EPA-estimated 393 miles of range, and a sticker price starting at $72,905

Pretty wild to randomly snag one of those from Hertz

How do I tell which model this is? Maybe in the menus somewhere? I have no idea how to use the menus on this it just feels junky. Tesla is so much better with the software ease of use.
I think the RPO codes are printed on the lower driver’s door jamb, at least for ICE trucks. There should be a QR code you can scan.

me too. havent' heard a thing. I can't even find the email from years ago and there's no account to reflect the 100 dollars given to them. the WT should show 400plus miles on 100 percent charge so this might be a different model than WT

per above, the WT4 is the 400+ mile trim

the WT3 is the 300+ trim
