You all moss the point the silverado ev gives you a rolling emergency home battery backup system of 215kwh. The best high quality low price home battery backup is Big Battery's Ethos and a 215kwh system would cost $76,000 and something like tesla powerwalls would be over $130,000. So a home backup $76,000 and a crew cab truck $76,000 value. Meaning you get $152,000 value for$96,000! That is full value no gas or diesel offers. It is beyond excellent value for the money and yes the ability to fully run a house for over 10 days and make emergency road trips is essential. If you haven't lived through a freak ice storm or been in survival situation, take it from a farmer, former firefighter, and survivor of many multi week power outages covering nearly entire states, record snow storms and record floods, this bis the truck every man should own. The f150 lightning is also excellent and yes by only home backup capable it is worth every dime and may save a life one day. I've seen people lose power on life saving equipment and needed power.
Two hundred is not “a little bit more than twice” as big as one hundred twenty, the size of the Cybertruck battery pack. This is not very hard math here.
I had a 2009 Ram 3500 Deisel for towing an RV, I got the extended range fuel tank, so for towing an RV this big battery truck EV what it has over my Ram really excellent regen on downhill legs where I RV. We have several mountain pàses on our normal RV routes here in BC, which will really help and with the A.C. power will eliminate the noisy generator at our many Provicial parks where we camp at, win win!
NO IT'S NOT A LOT TO ASK FOR the SILVERADO RST EV. You get every penny's worth and this truck can do things your V8 SILVERADO CAN'T. Plus you will save hundreds of dollars every single month when you compare charging your Silverado EV vs putting gas in your Silverado V8.
🤔...big batteries aren't controversial/ that's mind trick made up by #Tesla who's vehicles never meet their rated range but will tell you how efficient they are. Big batteries are required/mandatory especially for trucks to come close to their ICE counterparts for payload and towing which the Tesla Cybertruck isn't able to do because it lacks "big battery "
If you're reviewing something and you don't have a single negative thing to say about it it's not a review it's a paid advertisement. And to say that Chevys driver assistant is the best in the business is a lie Tesla has been working on their program for the last 12 13 years
There are plenty of people that could easily afford the EV RST, the problem is, do they think this vehicle is worth the price. It isn't just the cost, but the opportunity cost of taking 100k out of investments to pay for it, and no longer making money on that 100k.
Why not? After all, EVERYBODY can afford to buy a $100,000 car/truck. Right??? 🙃😱 The Rivian is a much better looking truck because its styling is simpler and the front end is not five fucking feet high. I know... I know... gotta LOOK tough! 🤮
The six foot bed puts this firmly into the full size half ton pick truck category. The $20k less figure for the LT model makes a more compelling business case to transition over to BEV.
The black paint on this truck blends in with all the black plastic cladding on this truck. Any other color, as in the blue paint they used on the initial pre-production vehicle really showed how much plastic was really used on this truck, hideous.

Don't let little things like accurate math get in the way knee jerk GM bashing.
@tribalypredisposed The math here is not the issue. It is the range delivered and the promise missed is what counts.

The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST and Forza X1 Electric Boat make the perfect eco-friendly duo!
That would be a pretty cool combo
That backseat actually looks normal for most modern trucks. It is not big or spacious... Unless you are 7'8".

Uh…the Tesla Semi has (extrapolated based on public statements) an 850 KWH pack. Bigger isn’t the whole goal. Efficiency is good also.

Compared to the other $100k trucks on the market you're getting a lot.
That's why guys who want a big back seat go for a truck with a big back seat
He's doing a lot of micro correcting to keep that truck centered in the lane. That's not comfortable.

@Crakmonkey691 And the last 12 13 years tesla still gets kids on bikes run over.
Exactly how much of a market do they think there is for $100k electric trucks? They need to drastically improve their market research.
WRONG! you need to drastically improve your market research.
@@bobhirdes6725 Yes exactly how many $100k electric trucks are selling? If they did market research they utterly failed.
@@matthewhuszarik4173 WRONG! they haven't hit the showrooms yet
If the could stuff a 5.3 into this, I would by the new Avalanche.
No carplay rules this one out.
Love what your doing but your videos are too slow in getting to the point I'll catch this elsewhere
I love it, but is unaffordable. GM no longer cares about what the consumer wants. They just want to please the investors.

So what for Apple Carplay and Android Auto, GM want there own data than Apple! So What plug in...

Looks like modern day pick up but it's too expensive for Chevy,

Every house is electric so why would I want my truck to run my house
In case the power goes out
