You forget there are parallel economies and many people can easily afford, especially now that they aren't deprecating so much.

I’m with you!! Trucks is a tool for work!! No a luxury toy for showing off

@@Fsciabica76 It's both. I work with a lot of contractors. They work with them, and they also do unnecessary upgrades just to show off. Some people are all about practicality...most aren't in my experience.

@@Fsciabica76 People have started buy trucks so they can have some room for comfort. Cars have turned in to shoe boxes on wheels

They designed the headlights to look like a question mark, to remind you to question what drunken stooper you were in when you bought 3000lbs of lithium batteries to lug around in place of a payload.

The problem its when the vehicle moves up and down headlights move more up and down too that people in front car will think they flashing the lights.. I know I own a Hyundai Palisade.. I have that problem.. also incoming traffic think I’m flashing the hedligjts

Isn't that why you buy a truck?

@@TexMex421 to piss off other drivers? It seems a lot of truck purchasers buy one for only that reason, yes.

Not really because of height. It’s the idiots who lift their trucks and don’t realign their headlights. Or put HID or LED bulbs in a reflector housing instead of projector.

I see that too but I also see a lot of Nikola Badger influence.

Definitely was going to say Ridgeline, especially the bed.

That’s the first thing I thought!

This isn’t a Sierra it’s a GMC ridgeline at least ford used a regular truck and electrified it

The Ridgeline the copy of the Chevy avalanche Design

EVs lose noticeable battery range by switching to such an aggressive tire

They look good but aint good for offroad must have a good suspension because the less tire the rougher the ride

i agree about the look. fire

Not an unpopular opinion at all

I agree. You can put 4x8 sheets in the bed and close the tailgate!

Old Chevy avalanches had em

Most trucks have the bed and cab separate instead of one piece like this, Avalanche, Silverado EV, and the Hummer EV.

@@CarlosGutierrez-qw6pr yeah apparently everybody else has more money than I do I guess

Yup, glad I bought mine when they were affordable for the average person.

Average joes should drive a truck till it blows up. We turn ours over every 3 years because of the rate they gain miles. Be completely valueless in 5-6 years or down for work too often.

Or until our governments take them away, or will no longer allow us to register them.

The Silverado EV has it too

They need a pass through to the Frunk too on the passenger side. Just in case you gotta haul reaaaaaallllly long stuff! Wait, I guess that's what trailers are for.

@@Ballista762 yeah I forgot to mention that one. Essentially same truck from what it seems

Looks amazing! And more importantly the technology behind it is even more impressive. Prices are high compared to a cheap low rent ICE - sure. But last I checked a Denali was already in the 70’s I’d buy this over a Tesla

@@Ballista762 And I like the screen better than the jumbo tablet this one has.

What you can afford that?

Most of the other EV trucks on the market are complete garbage including the giant plastic turd in the vid above. Ford/GMC EVs are plagued with software issues, horrible build quality and are insanely over priced. Rivian is the only manufacturer with a somewhat decent product and they can't even build half the amount of trucks that they forecasted. Elon could not care less about these vehicles as they are no competition to Tesla once his truck rolls out and will sell as many of the Cybertrucks as he can make.

@@markadler8968 I mean Tesla increased the price of all their vehicles by 10-15k in the last 1-2 years and the vehicles didn't even change... Plus people constantly complain about Tesla build quality. I'm sure the Ford and GMC EVs are fine enough especially as they make more and more of them over time. Tesla isn't going to come out the gate being able to produce hundreds of thousands of cybertrucks. It'll take months and maybe years to ramp up production. Either way more competition is better as it'll improve all products.

GM leadership is too out of touch to make a Plug in Hybrid.

Yeah buy a diesel / petrol and in few years you won't be able to drive it because higher pollution taxation and expensive gas / diesel prices along with higher maintaining bills for parts & consumables (rubber belts, rubber hoses, oil, coolant, brake fluid, water pump, oil pump, fuel pump, fuel filter, oil filter, air-filter, cabin filter, spark-plugs, pulleys, o-rings springs & gaskets, bushes, joints & knukles, cables that can brake, ball-bearings, clutch disc, brake pads.. etc..) and on top pay the labor + service costs..

@@poplaurentiu4148 Isn't that funny how governents that are supposed to work for the people actively harm them by driving up fuel prices to push an angenda? Those with limited budgets are kicked to the curb. No such thing as a cheap vehicle in the pipe. Gone will be the days of $500 cars. Anything with a working batt will be parted out, leaving poor people boned. Public trans? When the $30,000 battery gives out from vibration, fatiuge, rust, etc, is it even safe to be parked near your home and family? Burn your property down? Bright future...

What?! Don't you want to haul 3000lbs of batteries around, and roll the dice when the warranty expires? You would look so cool charging this 30m at a time every 100 miles trying to haul a trailer across the state.

@@directorjustin And if your trying to imply that a lithium battery of this size only contains around 80lbs of raw lithium, its fairly obvious that the 3000lb estimate is for the entire litium (ion battery.)

@@andyh8239 you have no idea what you are talking about

Hopefully they won’t have the same issue they had with their new $115,000 Hummer. Major software issue, unable to reboot, unable to place in Neutral & tow, unable to get to 12 volt battery to disconnect & stupid things they did to get going after disconnecting battery! Also On Star was useless! What a nightmare for such expensive vehicle’s!

There are Chevy Avalanches and Honda Ridglines with the same thing for a quarter the price.

Rims too big tho

Silverado ev is the same mid gate and supposed to come out in 2023

oh so $110k is ok lmfao

GM increased the interior room up front. The frunk will be smaller. GM is going a different route on battery tech. We have to hold our breath on such issue.

Except for the fact that the trucks with no bells or whistles are still too expensive and even if they were more affordable, no one ever buys them anyways. Nearly all new truck sales are for the top end trim levels.

So true, however the average pickup sold for over $61,000 in 2021. I only paid 24k after rebates for my last f-150 in late 2019. I thought that was ridiculous tbh. Now anything under 50k is rare as unicorns tears for a full size truck. 😂

They make base models and they also have the ford maverick. Why are you looking at top level trim trucks if you cannot afford it?

They mostly all start off with the most expensive ones first, then bring it down.

You're all missing the point. Society is being re-engineered - you aren't supposed to be able to buy anything going forward.

I just bought a brand new 2023 Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate with the small duramax about a month ago. Love the truck so far, it's great for commuting and around town. I have a 2020 3500 dually I use for a work truck. Because I have a work truck for hauling my race car, small excavator, skid steer, and tractor I only need the other truck for around town and going to work (I work in an office during the week mostly) and I have actually found that I probably did not need a diesel half ton. My first thoughts were I should've just bought a Ford Lightning but after seeing this I might just trade in my currently Denali for this when it's available. I have solar panels covering my whole garage roof because I live in Maine and it's not uncommon for electricity to go out for 2-3 weeks in rural areas like where I live during a bad snow storm. With my power bank I could easily home charge an EV and still power my home as well. It wouldn't even come close to touching my electric output from my solar panels. I drive about 60 miles a day round trip for work and errands meaning I could drive all week without charging it considering it supposedly will have a 400 mile range. I'll wait and see them in person when they come out. I know the Ford Lightning was actually pretty impressive when I test drove one, I just did not like that the one I drove only had a 230 mile range when fully charged so i'd likely have to recharge it every couple days and I also often drive to New Hampshire which is a 240 mile round trip so i would have to recharge on the trip just to drive to my New Hampshire office and back a few times a month and that just sounds like a lot of hassle to me.

Yeh sure but the new Cadillac is about 300,000 so will see

@@CAPSTONE. That Cadillac Celestiq is for ultra rich people who want custom anything.

Thats what happens when you put 3000lbs of Lithium in a truck. Dumbest thing ever.

Ugly af. I hate EVs.

I agree there is no 50k Tesla, but they do advertise it that way, meaning you may get one for $60, which is still reasonable for a new truck

@@churchyandfriends if you had one you would love passing the gas station....it's one of the best gifts i gace my wife

400 likely on a city route using more regen and being affected by aero less. Pure highway might be a bit less.

Not while towing or hauling lol

HEY, WHY DOESN'T THE CREW @ TFL do a PSA >>>>>>>indoor

Pretty inflated numbers. This truck would probably get around 290mi real world conditions. Maybe 310mi going 15 miles under the posted speed limit. Just the driver, no passengers or cargo.

@@namewithheld8680 The ironic thing is, EV vehicles get their charge from power plants that burn fossil fuels to generate electricity. Not to mention the strip mining of lithium for the batteries is not very environmentally friendly either. Both fossil fuels and electric vehicles have their pros and cons. At least we aren't living in the era when vehicle emissions were terrible... the technology has gone very far.

Agreed. V2G (vehicle to grid) is the future of electric vehicle adoption with our current grid infrastructure. Using EVs as portable batteries for decentralized storage allows for a more economical use of the inconsistent electrical load that a community will have to face in the near future once everyone starts charging their cars at home after rush hour.

Hmmm. Captain Obvious here. If you use your vehicle to power your home; what are you using to charge your vehicle?.

Just like any other battery you use, you charge it back up when the power becomes available again. Just like with a back up generator, you can fuel it up later when you are done using it. Much less noisy than a back up generator too. I have a similar setup for my Polaris Ranger EV, though it only has about 2 days of backup power for the house compared to this behemoth.

EVs: the cause of, and solution to, the problems of the future

Where are there going to be rolling blackouts?

Shhhh we can't let the public know or understand that lithium is way more dangerous than gasoline

OK, Ill bite. What storm damaged ones?

The ones in Florida, Fort Myers. Look it up.

Remember kids; Don't forget a gas generator. Do you suppose battery damage from backing a boat into the lake would be covered under warranty? lol

@@andyh8239 EV’s do better than gas vehicles in water.

@@ChrisDavis333 Just let me be clear. There is NO REASON GM should ever make a Hybrid. Batteries are awesome!!! I hope they come out with a $200,000 version that can go 400 miles bauling a trailer of horses.... no, wait, even better, how about a $300,000 truck that can go 700 miles with said trailer! Nah that would be dumb as it would be above the GVW limit with the trailer huh?

They don’t care about saving gas or the environment, they care about selling you a more expensive vehicle. Remember small and affordable sedans? Guess why they all go replaced with CUVs. Not because people weren’t buying, but because coming out with a CUV allowed them to jack the prices.

@@SuzukiKid400 I'm just sitting here waiting for my 2001 toyota 4runner to die but I guess it's still got a few 100k left before that happens.... 17mpg it is 🤣🤣

That’s probably the most durable midsize suv of the era. If I had one in good shape id be hunting a wrecked on to get a whole backup powertrain and drive it another 15+ years.

You need a bed that integrates to the cab in order to have a mid gate. The Chevy avalanche was the same way.
