The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV Has Impressive Range And A Staggering Price Tag... 

Shout out the lowercase branding with *gm*.

I think the Ram REV looks a lot like the concept

That wasn't a concept they showed a couple of years ago, it was this production truck. It's exactly the same. GM has just struggled to bring it out sooner.

Sadly people will buy these at the higher costs, which will make the manufacturer think the price is correct.

Maybe a used one that's 3-5 years old would be that much. Those batteries sure are expensive though so unless there is some radical new technology, prices are only going up. Really, have you ever seen prices go down on the new model years ever?

​@@DadDrums1015They will be as rare to see as a EV hummer only a tiny portion of people will buy them.

​@@DadDrums1015, at $94K, GM is losing money on each one they sell.

@@Josh-179 then they shouldn’t make it. That’s just bad business

I can't stand these huge wheels that are becoming the norm. They reduce efficiency, ride harshly, and are expensive to put tires on. Silly.

More bigger, more better

and at 9000lbs, going to eat those tires every 20k? 15k?

24s was a big deal 10 years ago lol

@@kyrosmike TireRack shows just ONE tire in this truck's size at $600 per tire before tax and installation. No AT or snow tires available.

Someone has to pay for saving the environment from global warming

LOL

Most people buying this will be using this as a luxury hauler to haul things home from the local Lowe’s, they’re buying this for the performance and technology. I highly doubt the people who buy this give a toss about the environment.

@@ItsAlive111 Most fast charger stations if every stall is occupied has a generator near by or it 2x/3x the charge time. The size of wire can only push so many amps, if these cars could charge on medium voltage well dangerous but faster

@@ItsAlive111only thing is building the batteries caused more pollution than 10 ICE trucks..

I just cancelled my reservation and requested deposit refund - the price when I reserved it was supposed to start at $39,990

It’s werid tho because usually he doesn’t mention the price in the begging which is something all auto reviewers schould do because all of these new vehicles are overpriced

It should be noted that when he talks about the 80k work trucks, he is talking about wt3 and wt4 which are the higher end work trucks with a larger battery, those are the ones being produced at the moment. There are plans for wt1 and wt2 with smaller packs in the near future that will probably hit around that initial 47-50k

I don’t understand the constant complaints about the promised price vs the the price for the highest trim versions. Did you think they were going to release the cheaper, lower profit margin versions before recouping their investment costs with these? No other manufacturer has done that. The 1WT trim is what you’re waiting for, and it’s still coming after the rich people buy the fancy versions to help fund it. Just like every other new vehicle.

The avalanche was interesting, because it had a single piece body that was bed and cab together, but because it was body on frame it had a lot of torsional rigidity issues when it came to squeaking and noise and rattles in the mid, this design should preclude that

Patents are only good for 20 years, anybody could do that today if they wanted to. But it adds a lot of cost, reduces visibility, introduced safety issues, and was known for leaking and rattling. That's why sales dwindled until it was eventually discontinued.

The charger would use 80A meaning it would need a 100A connection.

3-phase has entered the chat

3-phase 32A delivers 22 kW easily.

Early Tesla Model S's had a dual charger option that could charge at 20kW. That was 240V@80A off a 100A breaker (derated by 20% for continuous load).

they’ll offer lower trims with smaller battery options. I think the Sierra Denali will have a nicer interior and clearly the better looking truck imo

​@@frankiexv4533 The stripped work truck already costs like $75k... Maybe if you got half the battery but then you are looking at ~220 mile range.

These prices are outrageous. Since when American cars command six figures price tag. Affordability used to be the entire point of buying American back in the day ñ.

@@joebrito2066 This is a lifestyle accessory for the wealthy not a working man's truck .

The "Overland" better be paved to support the weight of this thing.

If I could add a topper, and the climate control would cool/heat it, what a travel/camp experience this would be with the ability to open the interior up to the bed like that. That being said, 92k? That's quite an expense for a guy who just wants to camp, possibly with a boat trailer in tow. I'm digging the range and tow capacity. Also no smartphone connectivity for that price makes it a no go. The soft roading capability is fine for my intended purpose but that's more than I spent on my home! Winter capability isn't an issue for me as I live in Florida.

I don't know if you been shopping for a truck lately? I own a Chevy Silverado 2019 LD it cost 60k plus new one. A fully spec one is 75k. Move up to higher end models your up to 80k.

You have totally lost touch with reality.

Trucks have been this expensive for years. This is right on par with regular HD trucks.

Only car salesmen think spending $100k on a truck is a good idea.

My rental property was 80k and the house I live in was 150k 5 years ago. There’s no way I’d spend 100k on a truck that will only depreciate every second of ownership

San Diego resident here. With San Diego Gas & Electric, you can sign up for an EV rate plan to offset cost. From 12am-6am weekdays, 12am-2pm weekends I'm only charged $.11/kwh and that's before my solar and battery backup come into play. If you have the means to, research the utilities company you use and you may find ways to save.

That’s werid I live in North Carolina and I’m paying the almost the same to charge my lucid 😭😭😭

And filling a Silverado with gas would cost you $120. I’m not sure what point you think you are making here

It's a classic Alex easter egg. In every car review video the song that's on the infotainment system is somehow related to the car that's being reviewed.

These days insanity is kinda the new norm of sanity 😱😱😱

I've heard that for at least 25 years and I've yet to see prices go down from one year to the next.

It's priced inline with the luxury truck market. Expensive, absolutely. Top 1% expensive? Nope, nowhere close.

@@SoCalGuitarist RST is not a luxury trim level. This is $40K more expensive than an ICE RST.

That efficiency rating was while towing.

@@sfoy623 correct but that’s still hardly anything to write home about. i get 14-15mpg towing 4000lbs with my turbo Inline 6 SUV.

Not sure about that math. $3 in power at .15 is 15kwh, which yields 23 mi. $3/gal of gas usually yields 10-12 miles of towing. EV is about 2X the efficiency. Gas is usually more than this, power often less.

@@johnserrao9322 actually, i pay 15 cents per kW but after taxes and all the charges price is 19 cents/kW. at $3.30 a gallon this will buy 17.36 kW (=$3.30/$0.19) which when towing (at 1.5kW/mile) will travel 11.57 miles (=17.36/11.57) so it isn’t great.

I'm an Android fan buy, and will never buy another new car without support for BOTH, CarPlay and Android Auto. They are essential to me, to my wife, and to my kid. All of these manufacturers are losing TONS of sales.

EValanche! 👍

I miss the Avalanch! They should have just named this Avalanch!

@@Jazzzon777 missed opportunity!

9000 lbs plus another 2000 lbs just for fun.

Tesla started with a very pricy vehicle too. Price will fall over time just like any other tech.

​@@potatocores8549 What years have vehicle prices decreased from the previous one? Batteries are almost 150 year old technology and lithium batteries are 30 years old now. What, exactly, makes you think prices will come down?

I'd prefer if they just let you plug a generator into it while it's running. It's got a 22kw onboard charger so you could seriously extend it's range with a generator of the same power.

You can drive a tractor trailer without a CDL, as long as it isn’t registered commercially.

Early reviewers have exceeded range in these. 460 in mixed regular driving in the RST, and the WT with the big battery has hit 500 miles of real world range. Jerry rig everything tested the RST and “out of spec review” tested the WT and even towed a model 3 250 miles without needed to juice up.

This junk is being publicly-subsidized to the tune of $50k per unit. Take that away (and take away the mandates), and sales go to zero.

and 4 of those tires will cost about as much as a cheap economy car... this thing is ridiculous.

I for one love the cheap deals on used EVs.

Totally agree with you 😂

Who buys an expensive depreciating asset? Let someone else take the hit buy used.

“Evs need to be cheap to be worth while” *ev prices drop significantly “See I knew evs were worthless”

We have driven all versions of Blue Cruise including the upcoming 1.3 version and SuperCruise is still significantly smoother. This is not an assumption, it's simple fact.

It seems like it's going to be a suuuper slow roll. We're at least a year away from anything with a J3400 connector (it's technically not NACS), and most likely 24+ months before we see more than one or two out there

Because some people are stupid enough that they think 200+ kWh battery pick up truck with 700+ HP should cost 60K or 70K.😂

Today in May 2024 most vehicles with a hefty price sit on dealers's lots. The only hot sellers are desirable vehicles artificially limited in number by manufacturers to create scarcity like, for instance, Toyota RAV4 Prime. Most people are simply scared by car market today when all expensive vehicles depreciate very fast, especially those technology oriented vehicles. And by the way the ICE trucks as gasoline as Diesel today are very expensive as well, mainly because of technology included like screens, software, sensors, navigation, phone integration with wireless charging, driver assistance software, heated, ventilated, motorized seats, motorized sunroof, adaptive cruise control, headsup displays, infotainment with high end speakers and so on. Besides there are lots of extra safety features like cramp zones, airbags and others. The EVs have extra features like plug outlets, including 220 V, readiness to use the huge battery as backup power generator when there are electricity outages. Those are not contraptions bult like Ford Model T: a light frame, bicycle tires, transmission brakes, a simple 4 cylinder engine, gas tank by gravity, basic seats, windshild glass, a tent above head, two basic headlights, a basic gearbox. Definitely, one has to pay to be able to play! For the rest of us there will be an awesome preowned market with reasonable prices.
