Chevrolet Silverado EV RST Goes The Distance

  • With a bladder busting range of 440 miles, the impressive 2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST packs a punch. It's all here- Fast 350kW charging, dual motor 4WD, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, four wheel steering, air suspension, vehicle-to-home power ability and Super Cruise. Quiet, comfortable and surprisingly nimble there's a lot to like... so long as you have $96,500 to spare for a pickup truck. Tom Voelk and John Voelcker team up and spend a day with the Silverado EV. They have some thoughts to share, especially about the new interface.
    Tom attended a press event sponsored by General Motors. Opinions remain stubbornly his.
    CORRECTION- The interface screen is 17.7 inches, not 17.1 if that makes a difference in your purchasing decision.

      @Nebula1701 it's still going to be limited to very basic functionality of staying in the lanes and stopping and going with traffic, something I was able to do in a Kia with Comma AI 4 years ago. Not to mention how few GM vehicles will be equipped with that LIDAR package to begin with, by that time at the current rate of improvement Tesla will be at level 3 or beyond.
      I don't mean to sound like a Tesla fanboy or anything, but the FSD pretty much drives itself driveway to driveway now, parks itself, drives across parking lots by itself... then we get these nonsense comments like Mercedes or GM or Ford have a better system. It's laughable.

      @DrivenCarReviews I have no doubt supercruise does well on the highway. I just think it's capabilities are much more limited than FSD. In my experience FSD has been basically flawless on the highway as well. It's hard to compare because Tesla's FSD is improving so rapidly - it's worlds better than it was even 3 or 4 months ago, and in another couple months at the current rate of improvement we've seen, it will be basically fully autonomous aside from the legal responsibility of the driver to pay attention.
      I wish GM luck, I'm glad they're at least paying attention to self driving tech. You should try Comma AI, that system plugs into a $25K Toyota/Honda/Kia and does what supercruise does. I've done hours hands free.

      Oh please, the Ford Raptor costs this much and I see them around. The problem for Chevy is if they make a profit on these? Just wait until the Cybertruck gets out of the Foundation series (a 20k up charge). Would you get an 80k AWD Cybertruck or a 96k RST? They are both great trucks but except for range and midgate the Tesla dominates. The range is the big thing. Chevy just threw in an enormous battery pack.

    At least if you are going to hobble the better qualities of a pickup truck by saddling it with the issues that come with an electric motor, Chevy by far does the best to minimize the inconvenience and problems for the simple reason that they know how to build a pickup truck that people want to buy. The Silverado EV (or even the Rivian) are what the Cyber Truck should have been but were to pretentious to admit they don't have the knowledge or expertise to build.

      My thoughts: The avoidance technology is likely no better than that of a recent model Toyota Corolla (producing a similar frequency, other things held equal).

    EV trucks could be a powerful enticing vehicle for the American public if they weren't so darn expensive. ICE trucks are expensive as it is, but because the vehicle is an EV it shouldn't have a 10% or more markup than its ICE counter. I wish more companies made smaller truck EV's. I would love to see a Maverick EV type/sized vehicle. I think it would be a hit.

    Can we talk about the elephant in the room? Tesla is asking $120k for the current loaded Founder’s Edition of the Cybertruck. What are you getting for $25k more? One could argue FSD has more capability across all roads. And you get access to Tesla’s superior Supercharger network. Otherwise?
    The Chevy seems to have a lot more flexibility in cargo carrying, and the massive battery nets you far more range. If you want to go as far in the CT, add another $16k to the CT price to get the range extender - eventually - and give up a massive chunk of your bed. Yes, the Chevy is left efficient. But I think a lot of buyers will look at price/range between Silverado and CT and see the Chevy as superior.
    Too bad Chevy ditched phone integration. I think many buyers will keep GM off their list until they wise up and add that back in. Otherwise, I think Chevy nailed it, even with the price. As Tom said, they hit the sweet spot. Curious to see how much lower priced lesser models will be.
