Review: 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST - 440 Miles + 754 HP!

[@EntryExpert]

96k is insane. I have a feeling we will see the car market do a 180 in the next 5 to 10 years charging this kind of money for vehicles. one can only hope lol great video none the less!

[@ajvangorden1344]

As an owner of a truck(2016 F150) and also a commercial pipefitter i like the Silverado EV the most as far as EV trucks. The design, the range is fantastic. Usable bed space. Id be happy with a WT3 trim. But pricing is still way too high. A WT3 goes for what....70k? 75k? I cant afford that. If they can get that price down to 50-55k as the tech becomes cheaper and more available, I'd absolutely give one a try. I do like it.

[@mistamaog]

Yeah unfortunately that huge 200kwh battery jacks up the price by a lot

They really should have just called it an Avalanche EV (EV-lanche?). Now we just need the 2nd gen to cut the price substantially and we’re there.

Yup, and throw in a spare tire. I can’t believe they’re marketing a truck without one.

[@phantom0456]

Wish Chevy would bring back the midgate/Avalanche to their ICE lineup. I’d especially like to see a Maverick competitor with a midgate and a similar price to the Maverick, it would sell like crazy if it were well styled.

[@Pauliepsi]

It's the best looking Ev truck on the market. I don't agree with the 24-in wheels. I don't think somebody should spend $2,000 in tires every 10,000 miles.

[@bleu_chzst924]

[@MattMaranMotoring]

[@Hazdazos]

This truck doesn't need more "luxury". There will be the inevitable Sierra EV for that. What it does need is more interior color options. You still want durable, easy to wipe down materials in a truck. Just give me some more colors inside so it's not so drab. And I might be biased because I'm an Android user, but I don't see them dropping support for AA or AC a problem at all. The infotainment screen is powerful enough to run everything natively. At least it should be since my new Chevy truck runs that stuff natively and it works great. If people are willing to give a pass to Tesla and Rivian for not supporting AA or AC then I don't see the issue with GM dropping them.

[@anydaynow01]

Yeah agreed, leave the Sierra for the plush pavement drivers and have the Silverado be something more off road that can be hosed out without worry and doesn't have those ridiculous wheels! I bet a set of 17s or 18s with a nice wide all terrain tire would be just fine. Might cut into the ultimate range a bit but who cares at this point. Especially at this price, they should have made it an all terrain monster!

Cleaner air is good for the environment.

[@MarC-ot5gl]

I dont dispute the clean air part, but globally, this is not even a drop in the bucket. Think of all the emerging countries burning fossil fuel (including coal) which is impacting the entire planet. Then ask yourself, how much of the electricity in North America is actually generated in a clean manner? Rather than making gigantic trucks that uses lots of batteries (which are not clean), why not force people to drive subcompact hybrid cars? And what about flights that burn lots of fuel so people can go have fun elsewhere, or cruiseships, and what about all the stuff people buy from foreign countries that large emitters on top of the emissions from shipping it here. See my point? For a person who does 10 000 miles in a regular gas vehicle, this really overkill. And you do know the energy consumption from these trucks are enormous, and they chew tires like crazy which is emitting more rubber compound in the atmosphere and such

The Avalanche is BACK.

[@daviddill5227]

Why are all the reviewers bitching about plastic in the vehicle? Plastic is light, inexpensive, durable, doesn't fade in the sun, and is in 99.999% of vehicles in abundance throughout the world in both cheap and expensive vehicles. To bitch about plastics as much as some reviewers obviously do, it seems to me as if reviewers are really lacking topics to bitch about since all they do is whine about too many plastic interior parts.

[@nookbandit]

As a detailer some plastics are made to look better than other, GM black plastic is absolutely the worst as it scuffs,cracks and does indeed fadeand discolor. Although in the last few tears GM has been doing a better job at making it look better with better graining and fake stitching look. I really appreciate the Equinox as it’s roomy,comfortable and affordable but the interior looks and feels so cheap, I hate working on them

[@MattMaranMotoring]

If you’d like your $95,000 truck to have the same materials as a $25,000 car that’s great, but don’t think me and all the other reviewers calling it out are crazy. And I had plenty of other complaints in this video, no shortage to fill there lol. Edit: and you think plastic doesn’t fade? I have a bridge to sell you.

[@daviddill5227]

@@MattMaranMotoring - plastics don't fade like they used to in the 90's and earlier. Plastics and their chemical ingredients have improved a lot. I haven't had a car with even marginal problems with plastic holding up in a couple decades at least. It doesn't fall apart (at least in my cars) as it might in other people's cars. It holds up to daily life way better than many other materials that could be used. I wouldn't mind seeing other materials being used instead but I am a realist fully knowing that plastic is inexpensive, largely keeps its shape, doesn't fall apart as cloth, leather, metal (denting) and carpet wear down through life happening on a daily basis. Plastic is everywhere in vehicles, it also holds up to life better than most any other interior material. Plastic has a usable life of many decades at a minimum based on its ability to last in landfills for hundreds of years exposed to the elements. It's unfortunate to see plastic all over a $100k truck, but what else will be as inexpensive, lightweight, or durable? The Silverado is not the only expensive vehicle made with plastic in it, it won't be the last either. Wood might look nice but it's heavy, can get gouged easily, the laminated coasting can crack in heat and/or cold, (I have experienced such) with a Cadillac STS a family member owned. Plastic is a necessary evil (if you will) there are many more rich looking materials but not many that can handle daily life as plastic does.

[@daviddill5227]

@@nookbandit - I have a 2017 Equinox with a black interior. I don't have a garage to put it in. The black plastic has not faded in any real amount. I would think it has faded since it has never seen a garage, but if it has faded, it's nothing to ever be concerned about based on how well it's held up.

[@runninwildwithmilwaukeebuck]

Thank God I have android. Thank God I'm not paying 96k for a GM bucket of plastic. I'm still infatuated with my 2019 Ram 1500 Limited DT with its 5.7l V8 2WD

[@anydaynow01]

For that insane price, they should have released it as a GMC, then have the Silverado WT for fleets for initial release. The old Avalanche name hurt it's sales, if they were to call it something like the Silverado TT (for Trophy Truck) or Bison and advertised it like Nissan did with the Xterra it'd have had a much better image. It's good that they are calling it a Silverado this time around. That mid gate is awesome, I hope it's available in a budget trim level eventually.

[@TroySavary]

I never understood people complaining about hard plastic on surfaces that rarely get touched.

[@caflet2009]

I agree with a lot of the negatives here, but, 400+ miles of usable range is about where a lot of folks will consider an EV - current research is saying the biggest thing folks want is range. They dont care about the acceleration (as long as its enough) or the plastics all over..its all about range anxiety. In middle America where driving a couple hundred miles a day is common, I think EVs need to provide two days of driving.

Seems like all manufacturers are way overpricing their vehicles. And they wonder why sales are slowing....It may be a decent truck...but it's not $96,000 nice. Looks more like a $50,000 nice truck. I know the RAM REV isn't out yet but I'd have to think it'll be priced similar to this and it's wayyyyyy nicer inside and out. It doesn't have quite the same range but overall it's a much nicer truck.

[@tedschmitt178]

440 miles of range is getting close to being acceptable. They need to keep working towards 600 miles and a 10-minute recharge time (15% to 100%).

[@mcsike7264]

the thing with 100% charging is has the battery gets full it takes longer for the electrons to find a stop think of it was a parking area when its empty its easy to park put as it gets full it takes longer to find a spot you can already go 15 to 85 in 10 25 mins

But there saving the Earth😂😂😂

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

All that battery capacity. All that extra weight and cost. All to fast-charge a little less often on long trips. Totally unnecessary. I look forward to the future with a fleshed out charger network where people realize they don't need to lug around 400 miles worth of battery for the two times per year they might want to play "no bathroom stop long haul trucker". I'm strongly considering a 2024 Fiat 500e with a measly 150 mile stated range, if leases with tax loophole credit look good later this fall. I'd hit chargers away from home a lot less often than any car I've ever owned hits gas stations. In other words, I don't think the "max range" Silverado EV is the one to have. I wouldn't want the MAX PACK Rivian R1T either. It's just not necessary, and the cost is dear.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I totally agree with you, our 220 mile standard range Mach-E with 130 kW charging is completely fine on road trips if you plan your stops intelligently and aren't in a hurry. Love the trucker joke, I'm gonna start using that to give my cannonball-run analogy a break haha. I think GM's approach with this and the Hummer are just about meeting this typically gas-guzzling, range-obsessed type of buyer where they're at right now to convince them that EVs can fit their lifestyle too, real or imagined, by having a battery that can outlast their bladder, an insane amount of horsepower to brag about and enough capability to not have to make any apologies or compromises due to it being an EV. I'm not sure why they decided to take up this challenge since this type of customer will probably be the last to embrace EVs, but in my opinion GM's aspirations are respectable at least.

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

@@MattMaranMotoring the less safe for work (and in my opinion funnier) version of that joke is that these people wanting 500 mile ranges to equal their gas vehicle seem to want to play urine jug trucker (Trailer Park Boys, anyone?). Very few drivers want to go more than 3-4 hours without a stop for human reasons. I didn't know your Mach-E was a standard range. Just goes to show that they are plenty sufficient for tons and tons of people. GM certainly makes a splash releasing these products, but I think you can only have so many 8000 lb halo car EV trucky things before it's unnecessary. Are buyers lining up around the block to buy a max range HUMMER EV these days? Maybe it isn't the EV that's the compromise, maybe it's the gas vehicle. If you're going to choose gas over EV, you're gaining range without stopping and a more complete refueling network, but compromising on things like performance, cost to run, NVH, etc.
