If I had a shot for every time a car company "shocked the industry" I'd have died of alcohol poisoning

Only 250k and 30 minutes of hauling time, you, too can have this shiny new ev! It won't work hard so you won't have to either.

"New GMC Sierra EV shocks the entire industry" The Sierra EV is not shocking. If GM really wants to shock the industry, they should find a way to sell it for less than the Ford lightning. That would be mind blowing.

It starts at $107K!!.......Keep It!

If they had grounded it properly, maybe it wouldn’t have shocked everyone in the industry…😜

The real SHOCK will be the weekly Recall notices you'll get from GMC.

The only thing all these companies have proven is they can’t deliver these like they say they can!

The day it can get 250+ miles towing a travel trailer is the day I’ll be impressed. There’s a reason people buy trucks and it being electric or gas isn’t one of them. It’s the capabilities that come with it.

Electric trucks are USELESS if you actually USE them to tow or haul anything. You instantly lose 1/3 to 1/2 of the driving range. If you are going to tow your camper or boat on vacation you just doubled the amount of time it will take to get somewhere while you stop to charge every 150 miles, less if you are in hilly terrain. If you are a contractor and tow a trailer and have stuff in the bed EVERY DAY you lose so much range again. THIS is the big obstacle of owning an electric truck if you actually use the truck for what it was built for.

People that currently own these types of electric trucks are shocked to find out that the range is cut in half once they tried to tow anything.

Waste. All electric cars are waste. I work at a dealership and there is a guy that has to charge his lightning at my nissan store. Then he Ubers to work. He didn’t realize just how useless these cars are.

Just when you thought an ev was too much much money, they continue to increase the prices of regular usable vehicles. The way things are going, the rich will be driving vehicles of whatever kind, the commoners will be walking, riding a bike, or financing a horse and buggy.

The day they can get 700+ km on a charge and fully charge within 30 minutes is the day I’ll consider an ev. A road trip to my hometown takes long enough when I only have to stop for 10 minutes to fill up with gas let alone having to sit for almost as long as I’ve driven for it to charge again. Gas stations along the highways can be busy enough as it is but imagine if everyone started driving Evs and having to sit for hours to charge! Even if chargers were added the wait time would keep the chargers occupied and people lined up waiting to use them. To drive home it’s about a 2000 km drive, my Impala gets 700-800 highway km on a full tank which takes less than 10 minutes to fill And it still takes over 24 hours to get there! I could only imagine how long that trip would take with an ev.

GMC still in Business ? That's the REAL SHOCKER !

No matter how good this EV is, the ability to actually charge the vehicle will come in to play.

Competition is not bad news, neither for the industry nor the customers. It is opportunity.

GMC should sell all EV directly to consumers rather than thru Dealerships. They should learn from the FORD Lightning fiasco!

I live in Northern Michigan with long cold 5 month long winters. I am volunteering to test drive this EV for GM for 5 years.

I wish people would use the correct terminology. It is not a mobile generator if it doesn't generate power. It's a mobile charging station at best

Looks cool, but is too expensive for a truck that won't tow more than 100 miles. Other trucks are showing the same thing. Hybrid is still the way to go until we start seeing EV's that can tow 400+ miles. Does have good cargo capacity, options are cool, etc.

Interesting, but I don’t know who is buying these things, and what it is that they do for a living in order to afford them. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for EVs, but the prices on these EV trucks are insane. I’m more of the 30kish Equinox kind of person.

I am shocked by its price

I guess I should sell my house if I want to buy one of these 😢

Until they can figure out a way to recharge the whole battery in 10 minutes traveling in an electric vehicle would really suck

Just think... when using this for work. You get to take a long, long break when it needs to charge. Millenials are gonna love it.

What would be nice, is if GM would fix all these transmission issues, rather than these damn electric vehicles, as mine ('18 sierra) and I'm sure plenty others sit in the shop currently for the transmission

Don't forget if you live in CA you will be told by their idiotic governor to not charge your EV's during peak hours, which is like all day long. Oh but the entire state will be EV by 2035, but zero plans to upgrade the trillion dollar electric infrastructure. OK but seriously, this truck looks good. We have a ton of Rivian's driving around town so they are being adopted. I'm in a Honda Ridgeline currently with my work truck being a Titan. But I would love not going to the gas station. My biggest concern is its still a Chevy.

There are two kinds of truck owners. Those who use the truck for work and those who like to pose.

nobody is cross shopping $100k trucks... with a $25k Ford Maverick - which doesn't even have an EV option

"Electric trucks are all the rage now!" Yep, we may be running low on SOME things but stupidity isn't one of them!

I swear to gawd, why does every flipping EV need a fkn light show?

Okay; just a little correction, the photo shown of the GMC Sierra Product Manager was that of Mark Reuss and not Tom Noamovich.

I will keep driving my 87 2500 thank you very much

The entire 2024 production run sold out in 15 minutes. Answers everything you want to know about the demand for EV’s.

Just like the cyber truck. Its gonna be awesome....... Someday

The vehicle doesn't seem to take advantage of the EV drivetrain. It just makes that Truck shape without thinking what a truck is used for and how an EV platform enhances it. There are 2 big, missed opportunities here. 1: Why does it need a big hood? There is no 6.2L V8 underneath it. There is no 10-speed transmission. By pushing the cab forward, they would have a shorter overall length or longer bed. The vehicle would have better visibility. 2: Why is the bed height so high? Most beds on trucks have gotten progressively taller for the last 2 decades making it less accessible or useless. There is no axle, so there is no need for the cab height to be so high. All EVs have proven to be terrible offroad so there is no need for the ground clearance.

The deal breaker for me is replacing the battery and charge time. Batteries cost $20,000 give or take, charge time is 20 to 30 minutes for an 80% fast charge and 45 minutes to an hour for a full charge. My truck takes 15 minutes to fill from empty. F150 and Rivian both were tested towing, a 65 mustang for the Ford and a boat for the Rivian. Neither went more than 90 miles before needing charged. Do you think anyone who depends on their truck is going to buy a battery powered toy? Not this guy. Before you say I'm hating on battery powered trucks, ask yourself this. What did I say that wasn't true?

The biggest question......how long does it take to charge? Their hummer was what 4 days? Can it atleast charge in 3 days?

Seen a guy have to stop every 100 miles and recharge across America. No thanks.

Gm can't even make a good combustion truck, imagine all the problems the ev will have.

Electric vehicles are not "all the rage". I would rather have a diesel any day.

I’m good. a Duramax guy myself.

I love the fact that they're trying to install the tailgate upside down @1:40.

GMC should start to sell the cheaper model first not years from now. Ford sells the electric truck for less than $50,000 today.

Trucks that can't tow is the dumbest thing ever.

They appear to be marketing these trucks to people that want a really nice vehicle, but don't actually need a truck. 100k+, jacked up high, and under 6' bed? PASS

Everyday and every time I watch KZfaq there is always something Shock the entire car industry

Looks like the Avalanche is back. In EV

What is shocking is that they keep selling you garbage and you keep buying it.

What's the range at 75 mph at -30F with a 30mph headwind and the heat on.... I heard a couple horror stories about the lightning in relatively mild winter conditions...

Funny, no information on the range once you decide to use it like a truck. Can I haul my boat or 5th wheel more than 100 miles before you need a charger?

The only shocking thing is the 17 billion dollars they received in 2008 and still don't produce quality cars, at affordable prices

I owned a Chevy avalanche and wanted to buy another one, but they discontinued it. If GM would bring this truck back with a combustion engine instead of manufacturing it as an EV I'd buy one. Not sold on EV trucks due to their range limitations while towing. If you towing with a trailer and need to recharge the battery it's very inconvenient to try to get to a charging station with a trailer in tow.

I think a lot of these companies are really missing the mark. They should really be looking at hybrid models.

Can I get a smaller sized Truck that I can fit a full sheet of drywall in that won't cost me over $30k? Now that would be shocking.

The real shock comes when we find out why cars weighing 10k+ pounds with an explosive battery beneath your feet is a horrible idea in a car crash.

As a long term GM loyalist, I trust nothing new from this company. I can't wait to discover all of the unique quality issues, and usage restrictions that make me think, "they got me again".

Exterior looks amazing …. just keep that and toss a V8 in there and boom

They keep building EV trucks without providing us chargers!

Can I put 6in lift kits with 22x12 on 35’s on it?

No man, who actually uses his truck for what it’s supposed to be used for is going to buy this !

Gonna have sticker shock

How long do you think electric cars are going to last when you can only drive them for a few 100 miles in a time spent half the day waiting for them to charge and then spend tens of thousands of dollars to get the batteries replaced every 5 years. I give these cars 5 years and America will be sick of them.

Let's try to make it for less than 50K and make it affordable to the truck buyer community.

5$ says one week after the first 100 are delivered there’s one for sale for 150k+

Telling us what it does while it's not loaded is criminal!

EVs are way to expensive for what you’re getting for your money.

If US Automakers will ever want to make e-cars available to the masses, they need to think $20,000.00 US Dollars. They have the ability to do it, not the desire. A $107,000.00 truck is well out of reach of the general public. Ford Motor Company made vehicles for the masses and, after becoming billionaires, forgot who made them rich. GMC followed. As did Dodge. Tesla has departed from these big Three by progressively making vehicles more and more affordable. No wonder people admire and support this brand readily. Once the $25,000.00 Tesla is released, the masses will flock to them and the Big Three will have missed the boat. I, for one, can’t wait to see that day as I am prepared to make that purchase the very day it goes on sale!!!

They know the towing range but don't want to disclose it and embarrass GMC

$100k nah that's more then my house. Nothing here that's more impressive then the lighting.

They’re not going to sell that many with a six figure price tag.

Oh my god they made a gmc version of the chevy. So shocked. not like GM has been making at least 3 versions of the same car for decades

The only people able to afford this truck will be those who don’t need a truck.

I buy a truck to tow a boat…. The range is horrible once you put a load on it. Makes it pointless to buy until they figure this out

I just finished towing my 9,100-lb. World Cat from south Fl to Virginia, 1,050 miles, behind my 2022 F150 Lightning, no issues, just as well as the F350 diesel that I traded in.

No range when hauling or pulling a trailer. This is a "turd". EV trucks have a long way to go

If it would have an engine installed, I could consider it. But I'll never ever, purchase an EV. Hydrogen yes, but no toxic, non recyclable Batteries. Children suffer for your pockets. However, still cool looking Unit though.

The only thing shocking about EV vehicles is how far you can’t go!!!!!

The only reason I will not buy any EV is the charging time. I'm not going to spend 45 min to an hour or more at a charging station. The range is not as very much either and in the winter months expect to be cold because if you run the heater, its going to be a power sucker.

every 6 months they seem to get better ppl don't realize the world took 100 years to get the combustion engine to the efficiency its at today the electric sector is adapting faster than people realize

I don't know why they continue to make EV pickup trucks. As soon as you add a payload, or start towing something, it drastically reduces the range to the point of being essentially useless. If you never need to drive very far, then that's fine, but most people who actually use their pickup trucks for the purposes they were built would be throwing their money away with an EV pickup truck. Governments are going to have no choice but to either change, or rescind the laws restricting ICE vehicles, or societies are going to be changed to the point of drastically lowered living standards. Maybe that's their goal, after all!

An electric truck is about as useful as a chocolate fire guard!

$107000? Who the heck is going to be able to afford these vehicles?

How is one supposed to go camping on a 7-14 day adventure? We toss in a generator and bring plenty of fuel? I guess some people think about just the city life and no outdoor experiences.

Hope it “shocks the industry” in a better way than the hummer ev did.

So, let me get one thing straight. You dont shock the industry by how much you promised. You shock the industry by how much you delivered. Silverado EV start delivering in 2023, and that delivered figure will be max out at 30k. So, GM want the ev sale go to million by 2025? Well, I wish them best luck!

Serious question I’d these trucks have 2 way charging why could you not use one as a whole home backup ?

What makes it so special? Well, the same thing as any other EV... And that's the fact that it'll auto ewaste itself in 6-8 years, 10 tops, if you never charge it. But, to those who have to rapid charge all the time, just to kinda sorta keep up with the gas and go of old, those folks will likely see it be ewaste in 5 years. So, brand new truck, six figures in price more or less, and it's done in 5ish years. Can't even sell it at that point, because the sled will be dead, and it'll be totalled. Even if perfect in all other ways, once that sleds dead, it's totalled.... that or you're out of pocketing some $40K plus to have it swapped. Take into effect that it'll only go about a hundred miles when towing, like all other ev trucks, and the whole picture is "special" for sure. Goodbye used car market.... hello BRAND NEW EV every 5-8 years. Just take that in... legit, you'll be spending six figures, and never even selling the prev unit, every 5-8 years. You could sell it in the first couple of years I guess, leaving the second owner with the auto totalled ewaste machine, but that's not nice... and an entire demographic of drivers, some 76% (those who rely on used, depreciated cars and trucks) will be literally eliminated, along with the used market itself. I hate all of this.. didn't think I did at first.. .. .. I like the performance, until even to this day, with as mature as the platform has become it still taking some 40m-1H + to get to 60% at most public chargers, the no mileage at all when towing, and the whole "people don't all have charging garages at home" issue. I mean, some folks park on the street, in parking garages, etc.... even me with my house would MAYBE allow for one of 3/4 cars to be charged, at best. So bye bye convenience and savings, you'll ALWAYS be at the "pump".... for hours, paying top dollar for those Kw. Just so the sled can either die in a few years, or offgas and explode like all of the phones these days. Great!!! But no one will EVER be looking to purchase an overpriced, used, EV... who's sled will take longer to charge than even before, which was never good to begin with... who's sled will ALSO only go a partial bit of the original distance, of which it never hit the max numbers anyway... none of them do. Literally NO EV has EVER hit it's max distance, not even close... it's like EPA fuel ratings but worse, just a totally fake number. So if this says 400 mile range, just imagine it's likely more like 275 unloaded, 100 or less towing, and in 3-4 years divide all of those by 2. As if your fuel tank is shrinking as it ages, in both capacity and charge rate... it'll take longer, and last less. And that's why no one will buy it used... because pretty soon it'll charge forever, and last none at all. At which point, it's totalled. And you can't even scrap it then, as it has hazardous waste in it, a ton of it... again, that sled. The thing that totalled your EV at the age that a gas car/truck would ONLY JUST be getting kinda almost broken in. And your EV will not only be at a net zero worth, but actually a net negative... as you'll have to pay hefty fees to dispose of it. Can't just crush or incinerate an EV, it's legit toxic. Lots of special care... so goodbye scrapyards, and the entire end of life auto industry too now. This should just end all sorts of industries, professions, and opportunities for all! Yaay!!! 76% of folks won't even be able to afford a car now, 20% will be buying new every 5ish years, and selling nothing at all to make up for it. And maybe 4% will be buying and selling slightly used EV's for a bit, until the novelty wears off, they realize it's a losing game and they all go bad after they waste their money on them, and then they'll become one of the other two groups. Either no longer driving, or buying new every few years. Yay EV's, you so well thought out! My recommendation, go out and buy GMT800/900, maybe even 400 if it's nice, used trucks... Or if you need a car instead, then pick your reliable used poison there. Put aside 1- a few of these units, in storage if need be.. and hold on to them for the future... Because the future is looking like a hot ball of the nastiest most ill thought out garbage possible.

It has not the same tow capacity as a gas powered truck. So, of course, this EV will target people who will never use a truck as a truck. Honest evaluations will prove it, like the Ford Lightning.

Looks like they resurrected the avalanche. I never considered them as real trucks. These EV trucks will end up being giant bricks in the driveway when batteries s#$t the bed. Highbrids are the future of the pickup.

They look great in a snowstorm, you can get a good look because they won't be moving.

Your monthly payment is going to be shocking. Then, in about 5 years you'll get to replace all thoughs expensive batteries.

All people who are falling for all these electric vehicles notice no hate here, please do more research and look how they made how our power grid is made and everything else ,and then you’ll see dark side of it

The only way I would ever consider an ev is if they have double the range or better. That is the only reason to take the risks of relying on an electric grid that fails often

What no range towing ? Move on people.

I started saving today to purchase this vehicle. If things go right i will be able to buy this truck around-----never. These vehicles are not built for the lower class or middle class. I predict that because of price, sales on e-bikes will go over the roof and our streets will be packed with bicycles just like in china.

It would be shocking if it could pull a 7,000 lb trailer for 100 miles without the battery dying. I’ll pass.

Need a Volt style engine option for those wide open spaces.

Electric trucks aren’t up to the challenge of worksites or farming. This one unfortunately doesn’t seem to be either. All you need to know is that people like me are still buying diesels despite diesel being twice the price of gasoline. Ability to do the job is the the #1 requirement.

I REPEAT A ELECTRIC CAR OR TRUCK WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS A GAS OR DIESEL CAR OR TRUCK NEVERRRRRR
