[@L0st-n0found]

What they Need to concentrate on is making service for the likes of damage to cost almost nothing not a strike of battery protector totalling a car or a hit on rear bumper totalling a truck. These things should cost a couple grand at absolute most. A battery replacement should cost less than the engine of a gas/diesel.... As we evolve to less toxic and more abundant and attainable battery components (not lithium) they should cost almost nothing to produce and passed on to end user at a comparably low price.

[@SalandFindles]

It's not, It has the worst efficiency of any of the trucks. the most battery cells with the shortest warranty and the worst battery track record as far as MFG go, it weighs in at a curb weight that is the same as a 3/4 ton diesel while towing less weight than a gas 1/2 ton. I'll get a used 2WD diesel to tow lizzos food truck from NY to LA in January and ALSO get a used BETTER EV to do normal real life where it's charged every morning and I can get home at the end of the day to plug in with enough left.

I'm sure you've torn down batteries from competitors. How do GM's fare against, say, a Tesla battery pack?

[@Bigboiballinmemes]

@@patriotbarrow Unlike Tesla that uses cylindrical battery cells, GM uses flat rectangular battery cells that allow for easier stacking within modules of the battery pack. This design choice to use flat cells within modules also allows for easier replacement of cells within modules of the battery pack, resulting in a significantly decreased cost of battery/module replacement. I mention Tesla specifically because I’ve only seen KZbin videos of teardowns of their battery packs. I think both the shape of our cells and quantity that we can fit with a module also are the reason for the impressive range of the truck.

[@patriotbarrow]

@@Bigboiballinmemes Are the rectangular batteries you use similar to prismatic batteries? And why do you think Tesla chooses to keep using a cylindrical design? Is it better for cooling?

[@MotoGPatrick]

No point in buying the silverado. Silverado owners manul says no offroading. 50,000 mile less battery warranty. Over 2,000lbs heavier than a CT a lot lower efficiency. more expensive charging. GM is getting 2.0 mil per kwh and rivian is getting 2.6. Probably see mostly 150kwh charging IRL so the GM is putting range back in at 300 miles per hour. Rivian is gettng 390 miles of range an hour and the CT is at 375. The GM has hit some pretty good speeds as far as how much power is going into the truck when you find a working CCS charger with the max KWH. However Range in miles per minute added due to lack of efficiency makes that look like it was necessary to keep up with the competition. I drive a gas truck when I actuall drive a truck the rest of the time a model 3 because its AWD, runs 11s and gets 4.5 miles per kwh. The old 6.2 V8 and 6 spd modded raptor will obliterate any EV in off road and range and the model 3 is plenty quick on the street.

I wouldn't say it's made like an "actual truck". I've been waiting to see exactly that, but the sail panel makes it more of an Avalanche than a regular Silverado (or F150/Ram1500). How about we just give it a normal bed that can accept normal truck accessories and be used by a contractor/mobile tech/etc, the option to not have that giant rear seat (don't need to haul the kiddies around when you're working), and loose some of the high profit margin extras - then we'll have an "actual truck". If they could put this tech into basically a normal Silverado I might have an option that could replace my 3.0 duramax. But I do understand that most people buy 1/2 tons, and ESPECIALLY EVs as lifestyle vehicles these days instead of working trucks. So hopefully in a few years we'll actually get to a viable EV work truck platform.

That range is nuts.

[@Njazmo]

Most of gasoline/diesel cars make that with no effort, even in cold climates, when EV cars lose 30%-40% of the range. Talking about cold climate, some EV cars have resistor based heating, and others have a heat pump, which is more efficient, and takes less energy from the battery, which means more mileage. There are pros and cons, but I'm from Finland, and I want to try an EV.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Range can be nuts in any EV if you double the size of the pack like the Silverado EV does. 200kWh - Silverado EV 123kWh - Cybertruck 106kWh - Rivian 98kWh - F-150 EV

[@Zee216]

​@@SEBTECHDIY that's a long way to say competitors should have put in a bigger battery

[@motofunk1]

​@@SEBTECHDIY It's actually 212kWh, for a fill up on the road of between $80 and $106 depending on the station. So basically they matched the range and cost of a gas truck, until it's cold outside and that cost goes up by 30%.

[@jasonfournier]

@@SEBTECHDIY Rivian is 135kwh

[@jeffgorchynski]

Regarding cost to charge: 13:01 shows price of $0.48 USD per kwh (!) $0.48 per kwh * 200 kwh pack = $96 USD for a FULL Charge. (0-100%, rarely something anyone does in an EV) Seems expensive...but remember, you can charge at home for less than 10x the price. Here in Ontario, it would be equivalent of $3-5 USD.

@@untasty4215I don’t think you would have a 35% loss in range by going slightly faster, I own a Chevy EV and we get the advertised range of 259mi going 75mi/hr. Also it depends on the station you charge at the Electricfy America. near me is .32/Kw and GM EVs give you a $500 EV charging credit with EVgo when you purchase one, we are at 2 yrs of ownership with our Bolt and we still have $340 left. I think like you said it’s situational, if you can get really cheap electricity form your home and live an area with good conditions it’s a great buy especially with the tax credit, but as soon as your price per kW at home is like near .20 it starts to get expensive

It would be great if the original ones had this 60/40 split though, with the EV they listened to the customers that own and love these, you can drop part of the back seat AND a section of the midgate if you leave the glass and crossbar there, then you can seat three. Some avalanches had the bench front seat and can still have three people though, very rare option, like the HD Avalanche

[@TopGunZero]

They're finally making trucks that actual truck drivers might be interested in. Imagine where we'll be in 5 years.

[@I_Am_SciCurious]

The price makes this a lot less exciting than it felt to watch the video. It’s $96,395, which is over the $80K limit for the $7,500 tax credit. This is the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink version so maybe the more basic trims will put it within range. $72,500 would still be a stretch for people like myself, but coupled with no gas costs nor oil changes and other forms of maintenance needed it could work. Depends on charging costs, insurance premiums, and the more frequently needed new tires due to the weight. All that aside, this thing is awesome. The fold down back cab wall is brilliant. So much thought went into getting maximum use out of this truck. The price is justified by its function rather than being jacked up by essentially useless bells and whistles.

That bed extension feature is not new. My dad’s 2001 Avalanche has it, you don’t have to fold the head rests tho and you also have the option of leaving the rear glass on and just fold the divider.
