@@jimcole2648Electric vehicles don't last 20 years the batteries are only holding half their original charge after 4 years and when you get close to 10 you will only have about 1/3 of your original range if your lucky. Getting new batteries is nearly just as expensive as buying a brand new EV. This is a scam that NO consumer should be falling for. Trucks are supposed to last 20 years these won't even last 10. Complete robbery.
Hate to point you out. Trucks have gotten more expensive, yet there is a s it load of variety nowadays. If you just need a work truck, some 3 year old used trucks have drastically reduced in price compared to new. You can purchase a new entry level trim truck, from a maverick to a silverado HD to an ev truck. No one is forcing you to buy an ev truck with a state of the art infotainment screen, an off road trim, and a truck that can out perform some super cars from the decade ago at a 0 to 60.
@@jostrander71well then your on their boat and you ain't going nowhere are you? But savvy consumers see a overpriced piece of crap that won't last half as long as a regular Silverado but costs even more. Batteries won't even hold half their charge in 5 years so your range will be cut in half or worse but yeah go ahead and spend 100,000 dollars. That's smart🤓
@yungceize How do you know a Silverado ev won't last? They are not even out but a few months. Tesla has cars from 2012 driving around. Just because you hate evs doesn't mean they won't last. 100k is the top trim. 50k will be available eventually maybe even less but all trucks today are expensive.
Maybe they want to count sales with the rest of the gas models. Ford is always number one in sales by model because they include all the F series together. If GM combined Silverado and Sierra they would be number one. Ford outsmarted them on stats by keeping it all one brand.
I really love this concept. I really need this with Apple Carplay/Android Auto, the midgate functionality and maybe in a hybrid system, for an affordable price
This thing is still a HUMMER EV underneath, a monumental waste of material rescorces, time, money and an expense on the collective intelligence of people. An EV/PHEV light pickup truck is all that's needed, like the Ford Maverick that Toyota is too dumb build.
Makes sense for my life. Bigger than I need though. Kind of wish the Ford Maverick had a fully electric version. Good enough for hunting, good enough to move lumber for my shop, and good enough to cart the family around (which would be its primary job).
@@swow5210 I just want someone to objectively give me a scenario where a 4-ton, 500+ hp, $90,000 electric truck is the best or a good option to do something, because a Maverick does make sense to me in several scenarios, but this? im not sure. In fact, I find creating a 4 ton vehicle with that amount of power and acceleration figures, potentially dangerous. And the best example by far is the Cybertruck, a pointless vehicle IMO
@@zunedog31 so dealerships already are selling the RST w/ 440mi+ for $73k. It has better specs than any 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks are more than $73k new. *Shrug*
@@yungceize On the flip side not paying for all that dino juice (don't forget the DEF), oil changes, brake pads, transmission flushes, and that weight helps make this a rock steady towing rig. It's a "stupid ass idea" to stay with ICE.
It looks like it’s a great truck, but GM had an infrastructure for the last hundred years versus newer companies like Rivian and Tesla. The truck should be less expensive than the competition.
I mean, let’s be real the main drive here is the old avalanche features THAT THEY NEED TO BRING BACK for gas models.. but also, give me a freaking break - not Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? That’s just criminal at this price point. I’d be genuinely curious how they determine what features to give/take… seems like a lot of missed opportunities.
I'm Brazilian and I understand English perfectly even at 2x speed. however, the metric system for me is impossible without a calculator and time to do all the conversions. my suggestion for gaining worldwide attention would be that subtitles within the video include decimal metrics.
I doubt there will be that many dealers doing it. They’re going to want to move these and at these prices and this economy markups are going to be a hard sell.
I think you do need that kind of arrange because I don’t want to always have to charge every day if I don’t have access to a 350 kW charger or a household unit
Some engineer decided it would save the company 25 cents per truck to do it this way which saved the company 1 zillion dollars mwu hu hu hahahahaaaa!!!! *Puts pinky to corner of mouth*
Great looking electric EV truck but does anyone know what the tire replacement cost is going to be on 24 inch tires? I know one thing a Mazda, CX 90 has 21 inch tires and the cost to replace a set of four is over $1800. I can only imagine how much 24 inch tires would cost. 😂😂
I am a very early reservation holder for cyber truck who has not taken delivery yet. I went and saw the Chevy RST at a auto show lately and fell in love with it for all the reasons you discuss. I’ve written the company trying to confirm if they have “camp mode self-leveling?” Both Rivian and cyber truck do. I also suggested, in the strongest of terms, that they get rid of the front seat Console. These freaking dinosaurs should go the way of the dodo bird. They’re ridiculous. Get them gone - yesterday! I want to move around the truck freely. Dammit. 😅 And my final ask to them was to have a cruise control at any speed as long as it was under the speed limit. In other words for us country bumpkins that like to go travel dirt roads at our leisure and drive as slow as for instance, when we’re hunting, I think we should have a cruise control for any speed; 3, 5 10 mph…whatever? P.S. #END THE ERA OF THE FRONT CONSOLE…YESTERDAY…FOREVER!
***** Rented this truck for 9 days and the screen blackout and the AC gave out due to a HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGE which was prompt on the screen. I had no AC on a hot day while it was raining. I was in Texas when this all happened ***** Save your money until it’s fixed
I've seen more than a dozen dealerships selling the new RST EV trucks for $73-74k. Saves $300/mo in fuel alone, and no $64k 1500 has anywhere near 600hp & 600ft*lb
I knew legacy manufactures can make better cars than Tesla! It’s too bad they don’t come out with the Chevy Volt version of this. Smaller battery with a gas power range extender. That BYOU (the Chinese EV maker) their electric SUV has a range extender, and you get up to 600 miles! They should make something similar (at least for right now during this transitional period). People feel more comfortable when they can put gas in their electric hybrid car. Plus one EV worth of batteries can make three highbred plug-ins. The Chevy Volt technology was ahead of his time, they just messed up on the marketing And it’s too bad they ended it.
It really is a shame that GM is doing away with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. I am heavy user of Apple CarPlay. Granted I don't see myself going electric anytime soon as it is not practical in rural Texas but still!
I considered a hard look at this for about 10 mins. Hard pass. I will not purchase a vehicle without CarPlay and refuse to have Google built in to any vehicle. I want the choice to use what I want. Best of luck!
I wonder why she says the Cybertruck can't do truck things.... I mean the range sucks for long haul towing, but besides that it seems as capable as my Chevy Silverado. It has good payload and can tow well for short to medium distances, it is capable off road now too thanks to the recent software update. I don't understand that comment other than for people who need it for medium to long haul towing, and if that is the case I don't think any electric truck is great for that yet. The range on this Chevy EV is impressive though. That is where Cybertruck really dropped the ball.
You are so missed informed bout the towing capabilities of the cybertruck. what it lacks in range it makes it in abundance of tesla dcfc. no need to chuckle, but to get informed. u came across very biased, well your channel is, anyway.
This thing is a useless joke no one who is looking for a new truck is going to want this POS. Look at all the problems with the F150 lightning they should have learned from Ford's mistake.
@@yungceizeyep. Not even offer android or Apple. I get the trying to transition to clean energy, but it still minerals removed from the ground. Still using gas/diesel equipment to extract it. Automakers swapping out good v6 engines to turbo fours? For more money. Nope.
Based on how quickly EV's destroy tires. A massive 24" runflat, low noise tire on a 10 000lb truck is going to cost an absolute fortune. But I guess you can afford it of you can afford $1500+/mo pickup truck payments.
Lynn claims Cybertruck can't do truck things, 10 sec later in the video points put that Cybertruck has the 2500 lbs payload and 11k lbs towing, thats more than any other EV truck. Ma'am, your bias is showing. 😅
