Silverado won't do any better. Good luck GM.

@@WBSoCal, my comment is based on the fact people a year to year and a half ago, when that truck would have been purchased, were paying over MSRP. A year old ICE wouldn’t get great trade in valve let alone a year old EV when Ford has new ones on the lots. As for the Silverado EV I’m sure there first few will sell but like Dave said (if I recall) he has Blazer EV’s available. My thoughts are those who wanted EV’s have bought and now others are on the fence.

Can you imagine? I always try to buy a vehicle with resale value in mind. I realize that today that is more difficult than ever.

@@dougbriggs4176yea I believe the Hummer EV is really the only one to retain any measurable sort of value as time has gone on to at least get out even, but hopefully Dave just leased the new Silverado EV and didn’t buy it, because it isn’t far fetched to see the same thing happen as most other electric cars right now and be down half the value in 2 years.

Yea, I didnt even know we traded it in. Going to take a better look at it tomorrow

​@@DaveBsellsChevy I might be interested. Let me know if it's still available

Exactly what I was thinking. Recently my dealership took in a 2008 Lexus ES. Amazing condition, only 30k miles, one owner (who no longer drove so family just sold the car to us via KBB) It was marketed for barely 10K. The first few people who looked at it were like 'nah it's a boring lexus', but the minute the 'actually understands the value here' buyer showed up, they snatched it up without even a test drive.

@@GrandMoffJosephyea probably the most reliable car on the entire lot at the moment and for a steal of a price

They usually do

True..

96k for the launch edition RST

It will be very very hard for you to find one at MSRP when they come out, dealerships will probably be marking them up 15-30k in the very beginning just like hummer EV and ford lightning truck when it first came out

I have a Chevy Bolt EUV and always use one pedal driving - the brake lights come on normally. Once you get used to one pedal driving you won’t want to go back.

completely agree... One pedal is great!

Yup

RST will be just over $96,000

@@DaveBsellsChevy …..Thanks Dave, never thought I’d see a price of $96,000 for a pickup.

That is our dealer plate

He put the dealer plate on to take it for a ride. Did you watch the video?

@@DaveBsellsChevy Thanks Dave. My bad.

What happens in 5 years?

@@DaveBsellsChevy battery degradation and depreciation

Yes, it is the launch edition RST with every option offered... 96k

Yup, I've seen videos online from other KZfaqrs

EVs lose up to 50% of their range in the winter cold. Any battery does.

It is actually rated to get 440... My 2022 Bolt EUV is rated at 247 and I consistently get 279 (give or take) out of it. My AC is pretty much always on.

@@deepthinker999 all depends on how cold it is... NJ winters I usually see about a 40 to 50 mile reduction... less than 20%

@@DaveBsellsChevy In Chicago last winter we had days where it was too cold to recharge the TESLA battery. Recharge stations were loaded with TESLAs that had been there (12) hours and the battery would not recharge. TESLA C/S offered no help. Turns out that the battery had to be "preconditioned" before it would take a charge. Cars that sat outside were more likely to have the problem than those that had been garaged.

I will be interested to see a real world mileage test of the truck and then a real world towing test as well, if it can get 400 miles out of it empty then that will be great…. towing I imagine would be around 200 miles max as about half the range has been pretty standard on these electric trucks in towing situations

What does his waist have to do with it?!

total cost of ownership after the first few years yes yes they are cheaper.

I was referring to my personal experience. Waaaaaaay cheaper than comparable gas vehicles I have owned especially considering TCO.

I think that they can be cheaper or break even with ICE vehicles, I think what people need to remember and where people are disillusioned is that EV’s will still need repairs, batteries don’t last forever so when 120k-150k miles are on the battery and you have to replace it out of warranty when at current prices you have to shell out $20k for a new battery pack on average you almost Negate all savings over an ICE vehicle at that time, now I do think battery replacement prices will come down in the next 3-5 years but people need to keep that in mind if they plan to keep it long term to plan for that inevitability. I love the convenience and driving characteristics of EV and I have owned and will own them but at the same time I am not naive to the fact there are major costs down the line related to the components of an EV

Nah, more likely that the gas F150 would catch fire.

They don't, but most are because they will be lettered or wrapped anyway.

It was more of my personal first look and impressions

When did my "sales pitch" mention the planet?

@@DaveBsellsChevy You don't need to mention it... most buyers of EVs think they are doing a good thing for the planet. Where are the used up batteries with dangerous metals going to go Dave? Instead of your irrelevant reply above why don't you answer a question that actually matters.

@@rockford8915 In my experience a very high percentage of EV buyers do it for the savings. Everyone is always talking about the "deal"

FUD

@@rockford8915 You do not seem to know about EV's And you totally misuse the terms "most" and "dangerous", but you are spot on with your use of "irrelevant" on your points about EV's. As a customer for any vehicle, only two things are relevant. 1) Does this work for me? 2) Is this a good deal for me?
