*gm* has so many haters.

Like the charge port door being electronically assisted on the Blazer, or the electric assisted doors on the Lyriq. It never fails. This is an amazing offering from Chevrolet for this to be part of the first generation Ultium EVs. Their designs have not only been very upscale both inside and out, but they’re all uniquely styled and look like nothing else your money can buy you. Then you drive it and realize *gm’s* done all their homework with the software and Google based system as well as the build quality, materials, and platform. I, for one, am genuinely impressed by the new Chevy Blazer EV. Can’t wait to test drive an AWD Lyriq and the Blazer SS.

The question becomes: Why get this over a Tesla Model Y? Musk has gotten prices down to $44k-52k, while the Blazer STARTS at $56k. Tesla offers the same range, more cargo space, more speed and power, and a national supercharging network. Cheaper, faster, roomier and more convenient to use. That's a winning formula.

i drive my moms model y pretty frequently and would 100% take the blazer over the Y. Yes, the Y is faster and has better space but.. oh my GOD the interior is honestly awful compared to the blazer.

I take road trips and the last thing I want to do is drive an hour outta my way to spend 30 mins to an hour to "charge up". Maybe there are tons of EV enthusiasts who will buy this vehicle but till charging time and the ease of charging rivals filling up a tank in 5-10 mins or less I will never own an EV or consider it to be "better" than ICE vehicles. Especially at that price since the batteries will have to be replaced and no one wants to know how expensive that will be when the day comes! Also I've heard towing in EV trucks takes the range down tremendously compared to ICE trucks so I can't imagine towing with this thing will be something anyone wants to do unless it's every once in a while at best.

If they haven’t figured out the software upon mass release, what else have they rushed?!? Perhaps I’m experiencing schadenfreude for them dumping Apple CarPlay because they think it’s “unsafe”. I guess GM feels that their software is ultimately safer because it bricks their vehicle so you can’t drive it to even get in an accident. Chevy: Built “Like a Rock” … or should I say “Like a Brick!”

If this doesn’t have AA or CarPlay via your phone, do you need to set up a separate data plan for the car itself for navigation and Spotify?

[@LiohJuney]

Yes, eventually you'll have to pay to keep the Google integration working. They just aren't answering yet on how long until they start charging. I have the SS on pre-order but it's looking more and more like I'm looking elsewhere with how this rollout is going. Not to mention the crazy price jumps from when I put my deposit down.

@@bahamatodd Ok. That’s not too bad then. I usually keep my cars more than 10 years. There was also the issue with OnStar where it stopped working because the cars’ 3G radio became obsolete when the cell carriers all moved to 5G. 5G should stick around for more than a decade.

My SIL brought home a 2024 Blazer EV RS on a test drive today. The dash showed "Service High Voltage System", "Acceleration Limited", and "Turtle Mode". Wouldn't charge on her home EVSE, although it knew it was plugged-in. $49k after discounts, MSRP $60k. Not much in the way of options and no sunroof. Must do better on price, and the salesdude is ignorant about EVs.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

The OS is Chevy - and they plan to charge a monthly fee to use it sooner rather than later. No Apple Car Play or Android Auto like in the Ford models. GM says they are unsafe, but won't remove it from the gas models which means they don't really believe that - they just want the new revenue screen for you to use your electric vehicle. Their OS will tell you where charging stations are for example so if you don't pay for it, you won't know where to charge your car if you drive outside your region. Good luck with that Chevy. Tesla does not charge for their OS, only GM seems to plan for this.

[@sporttourersss]

Is this the one with the stop sale order on it?

[@rodzilla355]

Yes it lifted as of March 8 2024

[@DavidS-ev4er]

Hopefully they fixed the charging curve for DCFC over its cousin the Cadillac Lyriq. Car is not cutting edge in either software or user experience and then lack of up front storage. What gives Chevy. . Then the native system will mean a subscription service once one decides to not renew much of the system will become useless and without the option for CarPlay to fall back on . And then there is elephant in the room, Price is a deal breaker. GM gave lots of promises for EV future, and like there prior promises given but promises not delivered.

[@Jorge-Tamacas]

I like this EV is RWD, it's good enough for me, it also has the room I need. However I don't like the fact that you have to go to the screen to turn on and off the lights. Please a physical knob or lever is the right way to do that. Range is also good enogh . Nice car and video. Greetings from El Salvador

[@southbayla3137]

Wow, to me the front of the LT looks better than the more expensive models. I'm not a fan of black panels that look like a radiator grille on an EV. Love the air vents and HVAC buttons. An opening sun roof on an EV is very rare, love that. Too bad you can't get it on the dual motor.

Okay, you" reviewers" really need to grow up at this point. Anything that is under 7 seconds is plenty quick. I don't know what you're going to do. Speed into the truck in front of you going 0 to 60 in 1 second? It's just crazy now that you guys go crazy over this kind of stuff. Let it go 5 seconds average. 0 to 60 is still sports car like territory. Why y'all making issues about that? It sounds so stupid

[@ronalaska2472]

Glad everyone is scared of EV’s, I just ordered a 24 Blazer RS AWD with adaptive cruise! Wish I could have gotten supercruise but not yet available as I needed a bigger car than my Bolt and due to EV phobia I got about $20K off!

[@bruddahmanmatt]

I use CarPlay in my wife’s Mach-E because Google Maps is better than the native mapping system. OTOH I never use CarPlay in my Polestar 2 because the inbuilt Google Maps and Assistant are better than what Apple offers, plus my car has native Spotify built in. All the folks spazzing out over no CarPlay should try it first.

[@MichaelMcManimen]

What? Explorer ST is 10k lower!

[@frankcoffey]

I remember when 5.9 seconds zero to 60 was considered fast. But in the EV world it's not really. To be fair the base Tesla Model Y is rated at 6.6 seconds.

Naw it's slow for the money , back in the day you didn't have to pay 50k for a sub 6 second 0-60, now add terrible range and the car will be totaled when that battery goes bad

Currently have the Blazer SS on pre-order but I'll probably be looking elsewhere. Very disappointed with the pricing as when the pre-orders began, SS pricing was supposed to start around $60K. All in an SS is probably gonna be around $72-74K and that's being generous if they only charge like $5K for Super Cruise. Also I'm happy they've improved on there infotainment systems, but a true show of having a better product is also offering what was available to be compared. It's all BS marketing for locking you into paying them for what you could get for free before when the trial runs out. After a couple years, I'll have to pay you to put navigation on the display or be forced to have a 17 inch blank space and go back to using my phone on my windshield...

[@Wasabi9111]

Totally agree with you with the high pricing. My dad has the lyric and the software is extremely glitchy and poorly designed. The good thing is we use CarPlay 99% of the time. The subscription ran out and we didn’t even notice because we don’t ever use that crappy system

[@Nebula1701]

It's 8 years Free for Google Maps and Google Assistant, as well as other audio apps. It's right on the vehicles window sticker. Also You can still tether your Car to your phone for most of the data needs. Lyriq owners also found you can download and save off-line maps to the vehicle. You don't need a data connection. Carplay is overrated.

Super Cruise is going to be standard on the SS btw.
