    Big ups to Zack here! Congrats for being one of the first for an Equinox EV! I also want to recognize Ray Chevrolet and GM here for allowing a smaller youtuber to get their hands on this!

    I did quite a bit of dev work on these things. The lead dev engineer, Lynn, was one of my favorite people I worked with at GM. He is a hell of a guy. Definitely makes me miss working on all the cool prototype stuff.

    Seriously though, congratulations on being one of, IF NOT, the first to review an Equinox EV! You know you've made it in life for sure when you get access to vehicles no other UA-camr has driven before. =)

      People say this all this all the time, but the price of the vehicle in a vacuum is irrelevant.
      What matters is the price of the vehicle relative to the average income.
      Not, if you said that the increase in vehicle prices have risen disproportionately to incomes, then you’d actually have a point (but you’d actually have to provide data which backs up your assertion).

      I felt that as well, but they give you 8 years of data connectivity and the Google Built-in nav will work with your phone's data connection (if you have a hotspot, which most do) so it's almost like having Android Auto or CarPlay, just with GM's UI.

      Agreed. If you’re used to one of those, they pretty much work the same in all cars, so it’s annoying that GM makes you learn something proprietary.

      this is a weird thing. Someone showed one with window sticker with feature crossed out by hand. another tried and did not have it but when he lifted mat it said it was a wireless charging pad. It's like they can't get them? like sunroof being available then not then yes..

    I think this looks better than the blazer EV. The blazer is just trying to do too much with the exterior and none of it comes together well.

    I drove the 3RS today. Very smooth and quiet. I think it’s the best looking EV, exterior and interior. Could probably use a little more power for the FWD.

    Doesn't this come in RWD as well, or is that the Blazer EV?

    • @jayhawker2363
      @jayhawker2363 Місяць тому

      The Blazer is offered in RWD but Equinox EV is not. When they originally unveiled the Blazer EV, they said it was going to be the "sporty" one with the option to get RWD and more power. However, the other early review I watched of someone driving the AWD Equinox EV said it actually felt faster and more nimble than the AWD Blazer. Once the SS Blazer comes out, that may help differentiate the two but as of right now, Blazer just doesn't make a lot of sense in the lineup.
