I don’t want a $100,000 EV half-ton. I want a $28,000 EV Maverick. Doesn’t need tech in it. Just needs to go 200 miles/charge, have AC, a good radio, cruise controls, and be cheap.
For what it’s worth they do have a hybrid maverick that can tow 4000 pounds for around 28,000. Not Exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s a good start.
I would tweak that slightly by adding Apple Car Play, but Almost no tech whatsoever. My daily runner is a Chevy Spark (a real man can admit this in public) and the dash is the simplest thing I've seen for sale in the last 25 years. I want to be able to plug my phone in. That's it.

Marques, to open the FRUNK from the outside, there should be a touchpad at the right center of the front fascia. Check it out and let me know. You'll need to have the key fob within 3ft of the vehicle.
Stunning to me they didn’t just build NACS (J3400) right into the vehicle. With the vehicle release so close to Supercharger access, should have jumped in with both feet. I suspect it’d be better to buy Gen 2 when it’s converted over to the new standard.
NACS would have been nicer, but using an adapter is not a big deal tho. And currently you can only charge at the full 350 kW power on CCS DC fast chargers (Tesla Superchargers are underpowered for this).
The styling is pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of 90's Japanese car makers trying to make their cars more masculine and beefier for the American market, by making the bumpers way bigger. Very fun styling. 100,000$ is pure comedy for a truck, but it's neat.

When you get a press car from the manufacturer, you have to agree to review it exactly the way they want. Otherwise you won't get future press cars. It's called "access journalism" & it's how nearly all UA-cam car reviewers operate
Any truck that costs $100,000 is a ridiculous product. There isn’t a single working man who can afford a $100,000 truck. When is someone going to produce a truck that normal working men can afford? It doesn’t have to be anything special-just put together well with an AM-FM radio and AC, and that’s all. None of these so-called 'features' matter to anyone who works a labor-intensive job. The manufacturers are absolutely, without a doubt, disconnected from reality from what people want or need.
99% of Americans that drive a truck has never hauled anything in the bed other than their groceries. Guaranteed. Everyone buys a truck because it's just an American thing to do. It stands for the honest working man.
I mean I don't know if this is somebody that doesn't actually live in this country but 95% of the trucks you see on the road don't actually belong to Marlboro Man. They are no different than their wives that buy a range Rover and only go to Starbucks. They aren't hauling anything they are doing "man shyt" lol doesn't matter how many flags they put on the back of it.
If you are a business owner you can deduct like 40-50% of the cost because of the ev credits and the "large vehicle" credits then you are st a "more reasonable" 50kish
Some fun numbers: 205 kWh is 738 MJ. The two A1B nuclear reactors on the Gerald Ford class 100 kiloton supercarriers produce 125 MW of electricity each. So the US Navy's newest aircraft carrier can produce 1 Silverado EV worth of charge every 3 seconds.
An early interview with a Chevy engineer, she said "Avalan...Silverado!" So even they know, lol! I think most agree it was done for name recognition alone.
It's certainly more of a spiritual Avalanche successor. But I think the naming was a more of a marketing move. The Mustang Mach-E isn't really a mustang at all. But that name gave it better brand recognition.
that regen/breaking from the steering wheel is neat , almost makes this truck handicapped ready. Just checked Google says they are going for 60 - 96K in So. Cal

I think it looks pretty crappy at times... Lots of times where it looks like the lens is dirty, and the scene is washed out, but you know he wouldn't skip on that. Other times it looks totally fine. Like at 7:02 it goes from looking fine outside to looking like sh1t around the screens.
I like it a lot and the 16’s camera is surprisingly accurate. All those bells and whistles are pretty impressive but it looks really low. What kind of approach/departure angles can one expect? What would be the feasibility of adding a lift kit to an EV?-a very popular option here on the big island of Hawaii
Top of the line gas Silverados are well into the 80k range. 10k premium doesn’t seem that far off. I’m sure they’ll have versions that cost significantly less
Super cool! I love the term 'peak EV', honestly hadn't heard of it before hehe But I only felt there's an EV for me now when I saw this Silverado beast :D I hope to see more of those around too!
Ty, nice review. I own the lightning, and love it a lot. recently got the CT and today is getting the FSD. So happy with it. IMHO no FSD, no Go, specially for daily and long drives too. The Silverado would have been my go to, for range, looks and space, and power, however, No FSD makes it no go for me. Ty MKBHD
I have a family member that gets cars like this, drives them for two years, and has another new car/truck. Probably leasing but damn, it can cost a lot to do it like that.
It does have a sport mode, btw. It’s called wide open watts, or WOW. Which delivers like 745hp and a 0-60 in like 3.5 seconds or something. It was on the bottom left when he went to modes.
You can open and close the frunk with the key fob. The regen on demand paddle acts as an auto hold if you tap it while at a stop sign or traffic light. I got up to 487 miles on mine so far. Plus it will drive itself. Drove 300+ miles on the intestate without touching the steering wheel.
Chevy is low key crushing the EV game. Everything from used Bolts ~$15k to $100K+ trucks. I've had a 2017 Bolt since 2020. Drives great. Great sound system. Averaging 3.5-4.0 miles/kw easy. 99% home charging on simple 120v outlet. I have 2 kids now and it's been simply worry-free. Absolutely perfect daily driver. 220+ miles range (newer 66 kw battery). Only downside, for some, is the 50kw max charging rate.
@@InuranusBrokoffYeah, you can get a 2021 Model 3 for 18k after tax credits right now. That gives you 5 miles per kWh, much more space than the Bolt, and 250kw charging, as well as access to Supercharger network. They’re surprisingly fun to drive. The cheapest Tesla is still about as fast as a Porsche Boxster or an eco boost Mustang with the performance package.
@@InuranusBrokoff Not for cheap EVs Used Model 3s are basically $10k more than a used Chevy Bolt. You can argue it's worth that much more, but I would argue that a Bolt with 225-250+ miles of range for $15k is the best deal for any EV ever. Even if you're making $100-$120k per year, you should not be justifying car purchases in the $40k price range. So new Teslas are really not justified for you. Unless it's a really cool car, like a sports car type thing, there is no reason to buy a luxury-priced vehicle unless you're making at least around 160k USD/year. Entirely dependent on what COL area you live in though. $160k in NYC absolutely does not justify buying a nice car (though, owning any car in NYC is stupid). Like I don't want some shitty, bottom of the line, used Tesla when it's still going to cost me $25,000. If I'm going to buy some shitty, bottom of the line, used EV $15,000 is WAY more justifiable.
@@JMilMoviesEVs never fully turn off either. There’s always a computer running in the background listening for a command. My Model 3 loses about 3-5 miles a day due to this background activity.
I think with a more modern battery chemistry and some cutdowns on weight here and there, it could go under 3 tons...and actually be a bit more feasable. Also wouldn't like to be a brake pad in it!
Not really it's in the neighborhood of your 1 ton and above trucks. That said this it is a lot of weight for a 1/2 ton truck so definitely reconsider driving it on soft ground.
Personally, I still want an on/off button. My current vehicle has a push button shifter (22 GMC Acadia) and puts itself in park automatically when you turn it off. I still press park every time. It's part of the peace of mind ritual for me. Yes it puts itself in park, but I need to put it in park so my paranoid brain knows it is for certain in park, if that makes sense.
I like that they brought back the avalanche body form. I used to have an older style Ridgeline, and we always liked the style. Definitely the nicest looking ev truck.
There is a lot to hate (price, weight, no CarPlay, ect) but it's an earnest effort from GM and that is all you can really ask for at this point in the EV revolution..
I had an interesting take on this truck. I am a Rivian R1T owner, but had one of these for a 2k mile road trip. First I will say, this thing really does get range for days! So much starting range! But thats where my love affair ended.... I was never able to get more then 180Kwh out of any chargers and I mean dozens of chargers most rated to 350Kwh. I averaged around 140-160Kwh while charging. Not bad and palatable in most vehicles... But in this vehicle... Where I was averaging 1.6M/Kwh @75 MPH on all seasons, not AT's I had to spend A TON of time charging. Im sure if you can get this thing up to 300Kwh while charging this will be a super impressive vehicle, but with todays charging infra this truck is only impressive for road tripping when road tripping is within 450 miles of your house. Chevy also REALLY needs to figure out how to rate the ac in the cabin while charging with todays software it automatically derates the charging curve to keep the cabin cool, meaning I had to spend an hour and a half in a Walmart 6 times because with the AC turned on and set to 62 with it being 91 outside, it derated to 75Kwh.... My Rivian on public charging tends towards the same 150-200Kwh and does get more rarely, but the battery is near half the size and even on All Terrain's at 75 mph I am seeing 1.9 M/Kwh, on all seasons I see 2.1 m/kwh which means the miles go further and im charging less. This truck would be Steller if the charging infra was actually there to support it. Also I have to say... After 2k miles I had a TON of rattles, all on-road, is that just GM quality these days?
I love it. as a lover of GM, I am very happy to see this creation. But as a Cybertruck owner, its just so much more than a truck and range has not been an issue for me in any way. I have also driven it cross country. Maybe once im tired of my Cybertruck, ill get into one of these.
I work at the Spring Hill EV plant and they currently build the LYRIQ. It and the Acura ZDX both use the same batteries and amount of cells. Each car gets 12 cells, I believe the Silverado gets double the amount of cells to around 24 per battery. So the range isn't shocking honestly.
It's tough to use a truck for work when the payload is limited to just 1,000 pounds. In construction, you typically need a payload capacity of 1,500 to 2,500 pounds because materials are heavy.
@@mopey39 but when you need to use it for construction stuff it should be a good option. It’s 100k dollar truck that has the same cargo weight capacity of lots of medium size suvs. That is just odd.
A thing of beauty. When I get mine, I will use the front to add more batteries. That way, I will be able to charge it where I am. But I’m an electrical engineer, so I can do this without messing with the truck’s warranty.
@@stephensullivan1011 v3 superchargers are max 250. They can’t do 350. V4 superchargers will allow 350 but those are few and far between as of right now. They will eventually be the standard but right now for the most part chargers will be v3
I don’t want a $100,000 EV half-ton. I want a $28,000 EV Maverick. Doesn’t need tech in it. Just needs to go 200 miles/charge, have AC, a good radio, cruise controls, and be cheap.

@@SnappyWasHere I mean, a Ram 2500 (depending on equipped powertrain) has +50% towing capacity, +100% payload capacity, and can match or exceed that distance with a load behind it. So they aren't exactly comparable platforms. But you must not have needed those things, so it's still an economical upgrade in your case.
@@SnappyWasHere For now and depending on location.
In some states the lowest rate is $0.26kWh, so double which is still not bad. Problem is electricity rates are controlled much more by local politicians than gas and oil. Enjoy the cheap ride now, but in the future everyone will regret this switch from a price standpoint.
Also understand that $0.13/kWh is the equivalent of paying $4.38 per gallon based on energy purchased. 33.7 kWh's of energy in a gallon of gas, 40 in a gallon of diesel.
MKB Awesome Video I'm glad you made this I had a beautiful truck pull up on the side of me Nice Color and thanks to your Video I now know what it was.Thanks for sharing.💯✌️
Did anyone else notice a very slight lag in the video around the 0:43 second mark
Yes
Welcome to the world of iOS
Yea
No road review? How come?
When you get a press car from the manufacturer, you have to agree to review it exactly the way they want. Otherwise you won't get future press cars. It's called "access journalism" & it's how nearly all UA-cam car reviewers operate
@@sdsd4139cool.
Now why was not driving it part of the agreement. 😐
iPhone 16 video processing be getting a little too HDRish. Like a little more contrast would have defenitely helped.
You missed the GMC Sierra Denali EV .. it’s available too
Missed? Basically the same thing
@@markplott4820 got one in driveway
@@jamesengland7461definitely not the same lol. GMC has more options and completely different styling.
Any truck that costs $100,000 is a ridiculous product. There isn’t a single working man who can afford a $100,000 truck. When is someone going to produce a truck that normal working men can afford? It doesn’t have to be anything special-just put together well with an AM-FM radio and AC, and that’s all. None of these so-called 'features' matter to anyone who works a labor-intensive job. The manufacturers are absolutely, without a doubt, disconnected from reality from what people want or need.
99% of Americans that drive a truck has never hauled anything in the bed other than their groceries. Guaranteed. Everyone buys a truck because it's just an American thing to do. It stands for the honest working man.
I mean I don't know if this is somebody that doesn't actually live in this country but 95% of the trucks you see on the road don't actually belong to Marlboro Man. They are no different than their wives that buy a range Rover and only go to Starbucks. They aren't hauling anything they are doing "man shyt" lol doesn't matter how many flags they put on the back of it.
@@JafarChouit's not 99 percent dude. I drive a bigger truck than this and haul shit almost everyday.
If you are a business owner you can deduct like 40-50% of the cost because of the ev credits and the "large vehicle" credits then you are st a "more reasonable" 50kish
It’s the boss’s truck
some of these features like the screen are in my blazer! thanks for the vid!
"And I guess you could say the cybertruck is a full size electric pickup truck" lol
You could also say it's a complete freak show too and be equally honest.
Some fun numbers: 205 kWh is 738 MJ. The two A1B nuclear reactors on the Gerald Ford class 100 kiloton supercarriers produce 125 MW of electricity each. So the US Navy's newest aircraft carrier can produce 1 Silverado EV worth of charge every 3 seconds.
So I should get one of those reactors and never worry about changing again?
Hahhahahahahs I love this comment so damn much thank you
The fact that ‘Avalanche’ flew right over Chevys head is nuts.
An early interview with a Chevy engineer, she said "Avalan...Silverado!" So even they know, lol!
I think most agree it was done for name recognition alone.
Avalanche didn't sell, no point using the name of a product that didn't sell. Silverado is the vehicle that the company needs customers to buy.
I was going to say the same thing 😂😂 loved that thing as a kid and this reminded me of it immediately
It's certainly more of a spiritual Avalanche successor. But I think the naming was a more of a marketing move. The Mustang Mach-E isn't really a mustang at all. But that name gave it better brand recognition.
@@AutoFocus Definitely agree that Silverado had much more brand cache, but the silhouette is all Avalanche lol.
Great looking truck. I drive a 2023 Chevy Bolt now and will probably up grade to the Silverado EV work truck. Love the range!
that regen/breaking from the steering wheel is neat , almost makes this truck handicapped ready. Just checked Google says they are going for 60 - 96K in So. Cal
Came for the iPhone footage, stayed for this beast. WoW! Well done Chevy 👏👏
I'm willing to bet if he recorded using 5 different devices you couldn't pick which was the iphone. Same with expensive wines. $50 bottle vs $500 bottle. It's 90% hype.
I love when reviewers act so impressed with storage that comes in any truck these days. The real party trick is the mid gate.
That midgate on a much more modestly specced truck would convince that something could finally beat out my 25 year old ranger for usability.
@@ResonantFrequency Hopefully more modestly specked Chevy and GMCs come out soon.
Yeah, its huge. 8800lbs is wild. It's nice looking.
Curb weight is 8000 lbs which is right around the F250 and F350 diesel trucks which are everywhere. That doesn't factor into my buying decision whatsoever especially with the crazy range
@@Yielar1 Some states charge increased registration fees or outright put you in a new class above certain weights (Illinois puts cyber trucks in C truck tier, while pretty much every normal passenger truck is B)
@@Yielar1 Those trucks don't do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. That's quick for a truck that weighs that much. Hope the brakes are really good.
It may ruin your driveway or garage floor over time.
Also wild is that the Aptera could probably go 2,000 miles on the same 200kW+ battery capacity.
Sweet video on that iPhone 16 pro, bro! Am impressed.
I think it looks pretty crappy at times... Lots of times where it looks like the lens is dirty, and the scene is washed out, but you know he wouldn't skip on that.
Other times it looks totally fine.
Like at 7:02 it goes from looking fine outside to looking like sh1t around the screens.
I like it a lot and the 16’s camera is surprisingly accurate. All those bells and whistles are pretty impressive but it looks really low. What kind of approach/departure angles can one expect? What would be the feasibility of adding a lift kit to an EV?-a very popular option here on the big island of Hawaii
That's one of the cleanest infotainment systems I've ever seen. Good UI, sleek hardware.
Denali Ultimate version and idk.... Id cop it
100k is missing the mark
Top of the line gas Silverados are well into the 80k range. 10k premium doesn’t seem that far off. I’m sure they’ll have versions that cost significantly less
My Mercedes EQS 450+ does 521 miles on 100% charge.
Super cool! I love the term 'peak EV', honestly hadn't heard of it before hehe But I only felt there's an EV for me now when I saw this Silverado beast :D I hope to see more of those around too!
Ty, nice review. I own the lightning, and love it a lot. recently got the CT and today is getting the FSD. So happy with it. IMHO no FSD, no Go, specially for daily and long drives too. The Silverado would have been my go to, for range, looks and space, and power, however, No FSD makes it no go for me. Ty MKBHD
The RST is almost $150,000 with tax in Canada, truly rediculous for a 1/2 ton. I bet in 3 years it'll be worth $70,000.
I’m always shocked to see how much people are willing to spend on a car.
Most of those will be company cars.
But yeah people borrowing that much money on a depreciating asset is crazy
I have a family member that gets cars like this, drives them for two years, and has another new car/truck. Probably leasing but damn, it can cost a lot to do it like that.
And most of these people will still go on and on about the uptick in grocery prices.
@@matklmSo you think they are charging these in a company parking lot?
Same people spending $50/yr on phone wallpaper 😂
Some people have the money to burn and they enjoy it.
But does Silverado ev have hd wallpapers??
My god man let it fucking rest!!!!!!
💀
Yes! For $49.99 a year!
@@juanexjoNo.
@@juanexjono, wallpaper Saga continues
It does have a sport mode, btw. It’s called wide open watts, or WOW. Which delivers like 745hp and a 0-60 in like 3.5 seconds or something. It was on the bottom left when he went to modes.
You can open and close the frunk with the key fob. The regen on demand paddle acts as an auto hold if you tap it while at a stop sign or traffic light. I got up to 487 miles on mine so far. Plus it will drive itself. Drove 300+ miles on the intestate without touching the steering wheel.
Better yet, the GMC Sierra EV! A few thousand more, but a nicer interior and more bold styling.
Chevy is low key crushing the EV game. Everything from used Bolts ~$15k to $100K+ trucks. I've had a 2017 Bolt since 2020. Drives great. Great sound system. Averaging 3.5-4.0 miles/kw easy. 99% home charging on simple 120v outlet. I have 2 kids now and it's been simply worry-free. Absolutely perfect daily driver. 220+ miles range (newer 66 kw battery). Only downside, for some, is the 50kw max charging rate.
A used bolt is a great value for a local commuter car. The 50kw max charging hampers for trips. That should get sorted with the next gen version.
Tesla is kind of crushing the EV game. 🤫
@@InuranusBrokoffYeah, you can get a 2021 Model 3 for 18k after tax credits right now. That gives you 5 miles per kWh, much more space than the Bolt, and 250kw charging, as well as access to Supercharger network.
They’re surprisingly fun to drive. The cheapest Tesla is still about as fast as a Porsche Boxster or an eco boost Mustang with the performance package.
@@InuranusBrokoff Not for cheap EVs
Used Model 3s are basically $10k more than a used Chevy Bolt. You can argue it's worth that much more, but I would argue that a Bolt with 225-250+ miles of range for $15k is the best deal for any EV ever.
Even if you're making $100-$120k per year, you should not be justifying car purchases in the $40k price range. So new Teslas are really not justified for you.
Unless it's a really cool car, like a sports car type thing, there is no reason to buy a luxury-priced vehicle unless you're making at least around 160k USD/year. Entirely dependent on what COL area you live in though. $160k in NYC absolutely does not justify buying a nice car (though, owning any car in NYC is stupid).
Like I don't want some shitty, bottom of the line, used Tesla when it's still going to cost me $25,000. If I'm going to buy some shitty, bottom of the line, used EV $15,000 is WAY more justifiable.
You don’t like that the AirPods Max don’t have a power button, but you do like that this giant vehicle doesn’t? Lol that seems real backwards
This video has product placement vibe all over it
Also the obsession with storage over other practical features is something I never get. I don't use a car as a closet. I only need just enough.
@@Philonic dude is not sponsored by Apple but probably got 💴 from GM. Get it?
The difference is the truck actually fully turns off. The AirPods Max do not. even in their sad excuse for a case, they are never truly "off".
@@JMilMoviesEVs never fully turn off either. There’s always a computer running in the background listening for a command. My Model 3 loses about 3-5 miles a day due to this background activity.
The mid gate and regen paddle are two things I’d be jealous of as a cybertruck owner.
This seems better than the Rivian R1T. Very impressive. It even has physical buttons. It also looks great as well. Real competition.
Hummer is like a "refrigerator on wheels" 🤣
8800 lbs!? That’s insane!
Yeah...I wouldn't like to be a tire on that truck!
I think with a more modern battery chemistry and some cutdowns on weight here and there, it could go under 3 tons...and actually be a bit more feasable. Also wouldn't like to be a brake pad in it!
Not really it's in the neighborhood of your 1 ton and above trucks. That said this it is a lot of weight for a 1/2 ton truck so definitely reconsider driving it on soft ground.
2024 Lucid Air Grand Touring has a range of 516 miles.
Best automotive reviewer on YT!
Great video keep up the good work bro
I wish they made wallpapers for cars
If they came out with an electric Suburban that would be sick. SubErban, you can have that one for free, Chevy.
There’s an escalade iq so technically give it a year or two its coming
It’s coming
I hope I can buy some wallpapers of this car? Anyone know an app?
I really like this. Love the range and even more so. Love the tesla station compatibility. That's a game changer
thats a good looking truck! nice range also, wonder how range will be affected when towing and after some time.
Very cool but have fun replacing those tyres and suspension bushings every two weeks
Hummer is the refrigerator on wheels?? I think that's the Cybertruck😅
Cybertruck weighs almost 2400 pounds less than the Hummer
Cybertruck is a microwave on wheels.
check weight buddy lmaoo
According to raccoons, Cybertruck is a dumpster on wheels. 😂
@@mwupclose But which one looks more like a fridge to you?
3:50 isn’t it ironic MKBHD wants an on/off button on AirPods Max and loves those EVs which doesn’t have one.
Personally, I still want an on/off button.
My current vehicle has a push button shifter (22 GMC Acadia) and puts itself in park automatically when you turn it off. I still press park every time. It's part of the peace of mind ritual for me.
Yes it puts itself in park, but I need to put it in park so my paranoid brain knows it is for certain in park, if that makes sense.
Yes lets compare apples and oranges
I'm just gonna say it, Chevy watches this channel. They got a lot of things right with this one.
I drive one too, so smooth and easy to drive and nice place to be inside
I like that they brought back the avalanche body form. I used to have an older style Ridgeline, and we always liked the style. Definitely the nicest looking ev truck.
I came here to hate, but it's actually pretty good.
No point in hating. If a guy needs to tow on a regular basis and wants to go electric this is his truck.
Actually point to hate, it's over 100 000$ starting price
@relaxedpenny604 wrong. There are many under 90k around the country and even some at $ 85k. So no need to call this a 100k truck.
There is a lot to hate (price, weight, no CarPlay, ect) but it's an earnest effort from GM and that is all you can really ask for at this point in the EV revolution..
This is not how you do it. Shoving a massive battery to make up for the range just adds WAY more inefficiency🤦♂️
I had an interesting take on this truck. I am a Rivian R1T owner, but had one of these for a 2k mile road trip.
First I will say, this thing really does get range for days! So much starting range! But thats where my love affair ended.... I was never able to get more then 180Kwh out of any chargers and I mean dozens of chargers most rated to 350Kwh. I averaged around 140-160Kwh while charging. Not bad and palatable in most vehicles... But in this vehicle... Where I was averaging 1.6M/Kwh @75 MPH on all seasons, not AT's I had to spend A TON of time charging. Im sure if you can get this thing up to 300Kwh while charging this will be a super impressive vehicle, but with todays charging infra this truck is only impressive for road tripping when road tripping is within 450 miles of your house.
Chevy also REALLY needs to figure out how to rate the ac in the cabin while charging with todays software it automatically derates the charging curve to keep the cabin cool, meaning I had to spend an hour and a half in a Walmart 6 times because with the AC turned on and set to 62 with it being 91 outside, it derated to 75Kwh....
My Rivian on public charging tends towards the same 150-200Kwh and does get more rarely, but the battery is near half the size and even on All Terrain's at 75 mph I am seeing 1.9 M/Kwh, on all seasons I see 2.1 m/kwh which means the miles go further and im charging less. This truck would be Steller if the charging infra was actually there to support it. Also I have to say... After 2k miles I had a TON of rattles, all on-road, is that just GM quality these days?
I love it. as a lover of GM, I am very happy to see this creation. But as a Cybertruck owner, its just so much more than a truck and range has not been an issue for me in any way. I have also driven it cross country. Maybe once im tired of my Cybertruck, ill get into one of these.
MKBSD here
00:22 It is not the best filming device, it seems. Watch how the light wobbles, it is probably some software bad processing.
The tailgate folds down into step to access the bed of the truck. In fact, it has about 3-5 configurations that add to the usability of the tailgate.
I work at the Spring Hill EV plant and they currently build the LYRIQ. It and the Acura ZDX both use the same batteries and amount of cells. Each car gets 12 cells, I believe the Silverado gets double the amount of cells to around 24 per battery. So the range isn't shocking honestly.
This is some incredibly good sound from the iPhone
Via the Hollyland Lark M2 mics ;)
he has a mic on his chest. you can see it
It's tough to use a truck for work when the payload is limited to just 1,000 pounds. In construction, you typically need a payload capacity of 1,500 to 2,500 pounds because materials are heavy.
Most people who buy trucks not only don't work in construction, they don't even use the bed of the truck lol
@@mopey39 but when you need to use it for construction stuff it should be a good option. It’s 100k dollar truck that has the same cargo weight capacity of lots of medium size suvs. That is just odd.
1000 pound payload capacity is pathetic. After it’s loaded with people it would leave legit nothing to put in the bed.
@@johnnyfive-bc beginning of the silverado EV's they're definitely not built for construction work yet, more experimental and for fun use now.
Trucks are used for work every day with 1000-1500 payload. My loaded F150 has maybe 1350 lb of range and I tow a 8500 lb trailer
ITS PEAK EV!
Not really since its like 9000lb 😂
Well the Hummer EV is the absolute king of the weight mountain. This is the K2 of EV trucks, how's that?
How about the lifespan of the battery. Id be interested to see the average mileage those put out before needing replaced.
A thing of beauty. When I get mine, I will use the front to add more batteries. That way, I will be able to charge it where I am. But I’m an electrical engineer, so I can do this without messing with the truck’s warranty.
What is the recharge time? That would be nice to know.
Will be the fastest on non Tesla chargers. You can do 350v charging.
@@subywrexwhy? Tesla can do 350. They just haven't opened it up for their vehicles.
The power is in the stations.
@@stephensullivan1011 v3 superchargers are max 250. They can’t do 350. V4 superchargers will allow 350 but those are few and far between as of right now. They will eventually be the standard but right now for the most part chargers will be v3
