2024 Chevy Silverado EV

[DT]

New Silverado E revealed today, nothing too surprising, a lot of the same features as the F-150 Lightning. Apparently the design is a bit "controversial", I think it looks fine (resembles a Honda Ridgeline). 400 mile range option, tows 10K, the worst part are the delivery estimates and the initial price.

The RST Long Range, First Edition is scheduled for fall of '23, and has a price tag of $105K. That's partly top-of-the-line + early availability. There's also a Work Truck flavor, which is a really stripped down model for, well, work. They're saying spring '23, but no pricing.

After those initial models, they'll go into production on all the models in between, have some lower end consumer versions (with smaller batteries), that I suspect will be in the $50K-60K range.

I almost reserved one for no reason really, but it's only $100

I like the looks. I still think I would go Cybertruck if I had to choose a truck. For a truck it almost doesn't matter because there is already a crap ton of storage available in the interior, but something I am somewhat disappointed in with Ford/GM when it comes to their EV's is the lack of full utilization of the fact there is no transmission or anything going down the center of the vehicle. Look at the Equinox EV and it has a very traditional car storage setup. If there is anything to copy Tesla for interior design, it is their vast amount of places for storage.
