Electric vehicles HAVE to get cheaper if the US wants to force them on everyone. I should not have to pay $75,000 for a "work truck" trim vehicle. That is absolutely ridiculous.
Right! Didn’t they say the work truck would cost around $40-45k when they revealed it?
and this thing prob weights around 8,500 pounds just itself lol lets see that range when really driving in real world or trying pull anything
The work truck starts at $66,900 but cheaper ones are coming with smaller battery packs.
There are tons of deals on used ev now. Worth looking into
@@googlekeepsmemisinformed447 it will cost 40-45k more than you expect it to cost.
When will people realize that no average car/truck should be priced anywhere near $100,000 and stop paying these corporations! These companies don’t care about the consumers and this truck isn’t going to last any longer then the $30,000 trucks of similar size 10 years ago and based off of current trends in another 10 years this will be $150,000 🤦♂️ and it’s not just vehicles like this even the ones that used to be cheap like sub $20,000 are approaching 40-$50,000!! Never thought I’d see the day that Honda would charge $60,000 for a Civic that was $25,000-$30000 not even 6 years ago! The car market needs to go Bankrupt! 🤷♂️
The industry will crash and reset at some point. It has to!
bidenflation not corporations. milk is now 7$ used to be 2$
I don't believe the designers for a second when they say they didn't model this after the avalanche. It looks just like a redesigned avalanche from every angle. It has the rear dropping back wall. The color is even called avalanche gray
I was lucky to be a part of the engineering team and the word “avalanche “ never came up once I assure you.
@flamingdragon86 😂 how can you lie like this. Midgate is literally a synonym for avalanche. And why the hell yall ain't give the hummer ev the midgate??
The Silverado EV is the spiritual successor to the Chevy Avalanche! Nice 👍🏾
They should have called it the Avalanche then
@@wallbangerzsports Shut your mouth.
Yeah, they should have named it the "AvalanchE"
$74K for work truck trim is ridiculous
it's a glorified minivan with a truck bed. lol
Those Ultium Batteries play a role towards that high price tag too.
@@raymondj.2351 need chinese LFP batteries to interest more people
@noob.168 definitely something a noob would say. The Silverado EV has blown their EV truck competition out of the water and the mid gate pass through is awesome.
While I like some aspects of the R1T, the Silverado ev is probably my favorite design of the ev trucks. But the price points are a hard sell. I don’t know how many buyers there are for a truck ranging from 80 - 106 grand for new product.
10:42 "A place where you could put your meatballs, if you're done playing with your balls you could put your meatballs in there" 😂
He’s like Matt from CarWow 😆
He be thinking of this stuff on the fly bro😂
No Diddy 😂
I went straight to the comments when I heard this
As long as you're not scratching em! 🦀 🦀
Arguably the best looking inside and out at least…
You're being sarcastic right?........ Because it's fugly
Negative
Maybe according to Middle Schoolers
@@DaRevrinName a better looking pickup EV...I'll wait..
Yeah Joe! This will be the FIRST Pickup I've ever bought. Hands down! #respect
It’s not a real truck though Chief
I canceled my reservation on the Silverado EV (a.k.a. Avalanche😂) when the price went from 40k to 75k for the work truck. I was hoping to get the next trim level up from the work truck but not anymore.
I love this Silverado EV. Great job, Chevrolet. But the price needs to come down. Thanks again Joe!
It is very pricey!
Meatball Tray.. 🤔
SOLD! 🙂
Awesome 👌, you caught yourself when you said curtains, 😆
Thank you, Joe, and Lori too, for all you do to bring your reviews. Even though it's an attractive design, I can't picture this as a practical work truck. And I don't know any farmer or other worker who could pay for it.
The 2025 Ramcharger will fit the working truck bill!!
I'm digging the look!!!!!😮
It looks good if you’re a fruit boy maybe
You are OBSESSED with food. LOL!!!!😂😂😂
I really like this truck..the best interpretation of BEV..so far..cant wait you go on full throttle 😮😊..thanks Joe and Lori for this exciting segment 😀
Love your videos dude. To the door panels! Love.... However, as an owner of the last Avalanche made (2013), and having previously owned Silverados and Sierra pickups, this EV pays homage to the Avalanche! I don't understand why the hesitation of people (even at Chevy) to compare it to the Avalanche which is still an amazing vehicle _ yes mid gate! I think Chevy got this right. Looking forward to getting the RST when available! I will be changing the badging to "Avalanche." :) (blue E) Keep up the good work bud.
An optional after market canopy ( hard or soft cover ) for the tray area could also be useful. That could convert it into a camper van.
Great video Joe! 106k is a little out of my comfort zone. Just bought a Colorado for 40k , loving it
I know ho wyou feel about that one.
Will you be at the new england autoshow in boston on april 25th-28th?
I think one big zonk you should have given is regarding the way they did the mid gate like an Avalance, where you have to remove the bar and glass to get full access, rather than going with the power window design they had in the GMC Envoy XUV.
🛻💨...lovin this EV‼️ I had the Cadillac EXT. That Avalanche look was/is amazing to me...
I would get this but Cadi is coming w/ the new 25 EXT‼️...so I might wait for that 1.
Great content as always...so informative & entertaining.
They gotaa bring those peices down 🥵
Miss Lori is the great as well she is a big help!
You better believe it!
Awesome Truck,Glad To See Chevrolet Entering The EV World In Class,100 Miles In 10 Minutes?Wow.Above All The Colors Great And Am Looking Forward To The Hands On Review.Thanks Raiti.
It's Definitely A Rebadged Avalanche.Hey Actuated Rooftop Tents Set The AEV Lanche Off.Love It.
I'm sorry, but nobody is spending 70k on a work truck that there gonna beat up... its just not gonna happen. Love the video's man keep um coming.
This truck is not for the layman. This is for the boss's son, who likes to roleplay being able to do the job.
@@youstolemyhandleyoutwatmore like the cartel plaza boss.
@@youstolemyhandleyoutwat yeah but I’m not talking about the RST I’m talking about the work truck trim being 70k no boss is going to buy a work truck trim
@@RukisYT yeah. That's what im talking about too.
@@RukisYT and not the boss, his son.
Is there any chance to see you in auto show ?
Love the color scheme ❤
CANT WAIT TO GET THIS EV CHVY SILVERADO
CURRENTLY OWN CHVY SILVERADO 1500 ROCKY RIDGE. EDITION ❤A TRUE BEAST
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍
Looks great. Has plenty of range. Charges fast. Sounds pretty good to me.
🤣
You're a bot
@@101819785dude's a fuckn bot 😂😂😂
Looks like piss and costs 106,000.00
The mid panel uptop behind the rear seats comes off as well, JerryRigEverything did a truck run and they got a 100% to 0% range of 460 miles. Which is pretty impressive, hopefully this forces other EV manufacturers up their game on terms of range.
Not my favorite color but I love the truck in that it is a fully functional pickup that is gorgeous to look at and as an EV it doesn't lose most of its driving range when you hook up a trailer like the Ford Lightning and you actually have enough room in the Frunk to put in more than just a little charge cable. The price is a different subject ! ----- Thank You Joe and Lori !
You are so very welcome!
People complained a lot about Tesla Cyber Truck been super delayed, but it's out there now. This Silverado EV is been shown in many opportunities for basically 2 years now and seems Chevrolet still didn't figure out how to accomplish everything promised and can't delivery a couple test-drive units. I think this is the 3nd or 4th video here at Raiti's Rides about this EV and still nothing running. And I'm not complaining about the channel, but about chevrolet inertia.
'2 years' is HALF of what Tesla took to get their truck to the market.
@@WQ59BInvTrue but Tesla will outlast this GM Product 4x over.
@@mjerome1457 Doubtful.
Jerry rig everything put out a video roadtripping this about 460 ish miles if I remember correctly.... On a single charge. It's MUCH better than a cyber truck
I've had a 2007 Cadillac Escalade Ext since 2009 and it has 230,000 miles on it...I love my truck and it's basically a high end Available, but this Chevy EV....Yea it makes me want to buy it. I love the "Avalanche" like features.... Whether they designed it based off that or not, it's definitely inspired by the Avalanche. The mid gate lowering and removable glass is directly from the avalanche.
I seen one the other day driving on the interstate and it was nice and I like them but the prices it’s just out of reach for most people but I guess you could get a used one
This is a beautiful truck. Unfortunately here in Texas there's not the infrastructure for electrical vehicles for long distance across the great state of Texas. Now if I can get this with a 5.3 or a 6 l gas or diesel. I'm in!
Excellent vehicle and excellent price. No matter what. It costs every penny. ❤❤❤
Nice truck inside and out love the design of it
Pls stop. Stop
At the rate EV's have been depreciating, you can either wait to buy one that was driven off the lot for 30% off, or after just 1 year for 40-50% off. No sense to paying $90-110k for any of these EV's. Crazy thing is the Silverado EV doesn't even include premium materials on the interior at that luxury level MSRP price.
With that said I'd be a buyer of this 440mi truck.. after that 40%+ 'used' discount providing they drop the CCS charger for NACs so you can actually reliably charge on road trips.
Nice looking truck.
Can’t wait to see the Sierra Denali EV.
I like it! Would love to see a factory tonneau cover.
Not going to lie, the Silverado EV looks like a refreshed Chevy Avalanche! I can see the resemblence.
It looks pretty nice. This truck, the F150 Lightning, and the R1T all are really good looking. We all know the Cybertruck is best looking 🤣
You are not the first say that!
This truck is simply gorgeous. I would pick over the Hummer EV. The color really pops and I like the Avalanche look to it. Yes the Avalanche was a top seller for Chevrolet. Not sure why they discontinued it. Maybe because it cut into the sells of the Silverado.
I love it Jo! I will buy one!!!
I like it and it would be my first choice for an e-truck, EXCEPT that the flares coming off the back of the truck and down to the bed rails are a deal killer. They look fine but mean no truck bed topper is going to work on the Silverado EV. That's unfortunate because the fold down back panel that extends the truck bed would be a great feature to have with a topper used for camping and overlanding.
I know it is not for everyone that is for sure!
Raiti that“commentary” is giving me a Matt Watson vibe from CarWow 😆
Definitely the best looking one!
You're fucking kidding, right?? It looks like the lead designer let his kid draw it on paper and then said "fuck it"
Ehhh no
That shit looks gay as hell Frank what are you 12 years old
THAT THING IS GORGEOUS!!!!!! If I could afford it I'd get one and wouldn't get any other vehicle. One other thing, I don't know why Chevy Engineers keep emphasizing that this was not meant to look like an Avalanche. Like as if that is a bad thing. I'm am Avalanche owner and I think it's a beautiful truck. If they are saying that they were just creating it because "Form follows function" then that means the very same for the Avalanche. And if you are really trying to distance this "Silverado" from the Avalanche then why did you make a color and call it "Avalanche Gray"??????
I noticed something very interesting, Raiti. Every time I've seen an electric truck (rarely), I never see it carrying a payload or towing anything of a sort. 🤔 So it seems to me that these elctric trucks are better used as toys rather than actual trucks. And if I could pay a high MSRP and blow money for a toy Joe, I would get a GMC Hummer EV. Not for truck things, but just so I can have 1000 horsepower and do the damn crabwalk with it. 😅
That’s not very interesting
Sure wish more trucks would have folding mid-gate, especially, small or mid-sized trucks for those of us which want to get 10-12 ft lumber.
Maybe I’m thinking too much into it but at that price point I feel like we should have an option for rear passenger entertainment if not standard but all in all it’s very nice.
That is an excellent point!
av-E-lanche
I honestly miss the Avalanche
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats so F'n FunnEy
A Ve Lan Che
That's one cool looking truck 👌😎
I remember the avalanche was my fav truck as a kid. That and the Escalade truck haha.
Oh wow! Those were the good old days!
Nice Tonka. Good looking.
I like the style of the Silverado, it reminds me of the Avalanche, I would lean towards the work version that was presented in a previous video
Love your reviews, Raiti! How is it off-road? That's what trucks are for.
Wait for the Trail Boss trim if you want to go off road.
does this have the NACS charger?
Damn.. that looks 🔥 💯!
0-60 has been constantly quoted at 4.5 secs, so I'm not sure you're right about the 3 sec number.....I wish though
18 foot surfboard! That’s a big frickin surfboard.
Definitely the truck I need
It looks really nice but my main zonk is that they didn't make it look like the Silverado. Ford actually made the lighting look like the F-150.
Truck is Cool , too much money for me however. Joe , I’m very interested in the 2025 GMC Sierra with big V8 . What chances do you expect ? Will it be a redesign ?
Wealthy guys will buy it to be "first" to own it but GM will struggle to sell it long term just like FORD with their Lightning.
I wouldn't know. I'm not into trucks or SUVs. But I occasionally indulge in a Twinkie or two, often at high speed.
Best ev truck yet, price aside.
Pretty sure the Nissan Titan EV is way better buddy
it's getting 460 miles in real world range test. over 750hp!!! the gas savings alone make up for the high price. it will come down, but it's worth it... Hopefully the software is solid...
Yes of course Joe & I could buy this EV truck.
The Infotainment Screen???🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Ford went Star Trek....GM went Home Flat Screen TV damnnnnn. Buyers will love this truck.
That screen is lame dawg. Looks like Fisher Price shit from my niece’s play toys
Wow!!! Americans are going to buy buy buy. GM is creating GORGEOUS Designs. GM and Ford. Period. Leaders of the entire Car Industry!
I would love to see variation of this for the suburban and tahoe
I’d love to do a road trip in one
Was looking great until that $106k price tag. In comparison, the F150 starts at $60k and tops out at $90k. Even Rivian, which is kind of a premium brand is cheaper than this.
Yeah Shevi doesn't know wtf they're doing 😂😂
GM has lowered the price of this trim to $96k. None of those trucks can go over 450 miles (real world) like this can.
@@bahamatodd 50-70 miles more in range doesn't command that big of a premium. The users of these trucks are not going on road trips. Lucid tried to sell the whole range thing at a premium and it didn't end well.
and you wont get a tax rebate with the silverado.....and with the ford, you can find a lariat trim for around 65k right now
I literally stopped the video as soon as you said $106,000...This country is "NUCKIN FUTS" right now.😮
Same!!!
Need to take about $36k off that before we even start a test drive
Get your money 💰 up 😅
If you're broke just say that...😒
I think it looks incredible
11:50 - Oh dear... they put the headlight controls in the infotainment, didn't they? How unfortunate.
Love my Avalanche. Wouldn't trade it in but id get this too
I only ever saw women driving Avalanches. Hmmm.
@@DeepDishPizza i was driving ya mother's after she finished riding..... sorry Raiti 🤷🏽♂️
Nice!!!!
I like the truck and the interior. On the interior , what is it with these American auto companies ? they seem to find the cheapest looking plastic's!
I wouldn't spend over 100k on an ev which takes 10min to charge 100 miles. My Hyundai Sonata has 400 miles range and takes 5minutes or less to fill up from E. And it's cheaper, probably more reliable too. I'm good. Good looking truck though. If this was a v6 or v8 and cheaper I would consider it
"Best" is a relative term... This looks nice but for functionality I'm liking the Ram Charger a lot.
Amazing I love it ✅♻️
Can we stop and talk about the 18 foot surfboard for a minute… haha!
What charging port!
What is the warranty on this truck ?
Those are really good stats I have to say
Beautiful truck !!! It won't sell, just like the Ford lighting !!! Trucks have become unaffordable !!! They need to start realizing the public won't pay these huge prices.
I LOVE THE COLOR & TRUCK....my NEW dream truck....originally Avalanche
That is so awesome too hear!
Big fan of you are you stying in nyc ?
Has the price been updated? I thought I heard the RST is $94K fully loaded.
That is a great question! It just might be!
Very very high expectations for this Chevy Silverado EV and it's all well and good but you can't call something being the best without it existing. And as of right now the only vehicle that exists is the work truck trim. And last I checked it wasn't doing too good on distance compared to other EV pickups. Now the only trim that's available to use is the work trim which you can rent it from one of the rental car companies and it's been available for almost a month now. All the other models and trim levels won't be out for another year
The sail panel gives you 15- 20 miles of range. For free. Don't need to pay for an extra 10 kWh of lithium ion batteries.
hi joe, u doing an awesome job as always and we enjoy watching your videos but if u want we enjoyed it more just forget about EV's😂😅
LOL I know how you feel Danny!
Manufacturers had the perfect opportunity with the switch to EVs to start making their trucks smaller. 99% of people don't need trucks that big or heavy. Bring us more Ford Maverick sized EV trucks people!
If we could get that down to at least 85k, I'm all over it but I'm tired of talking about products that aren't on sale yet. Smh.
Why don’t they fill the front end with more batteries to increase the range? With a truck this big, it already has lot of storage, so more range makes more sense.
This is will be the best looking truck in the segment.
It will be the best looking truck on the Chevy lot....that’s where they will stay.
JerryRigEveryrhing did a roadtrip in this and it got like 460 miles on a single charge before dying... the price is insane but the range is great
🤣
