Early Trail Boss model out testing.

Another example of the absolute mess that is hybrid packaging. 30 years of hybrids and even Toyota can’t figure out what to do with batteries. In this case (and the Land Cruiser) you lose a very significant amount of cargo space because they’re installed on the rear floor area.

Updated 2024 Mach-e just revealed. New rear motor, more range, more power, faster charging. Improved thermal performance. Now up to 320 miles range and 0-60 MPH in as little as 3.3 seconds. Quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 114 mph...

Turns out… “current design” Starship is only capable of 40-50 tons to orbit vs. the 100-150 tons they initially claimed. They need another bigger version “V2” to get to 100 tons and yet another bigger V3 to get to 200 tons. For reference, SLS Block 1, which has already flown around the moon...

Wild they were down to 100’ MSL while ~1,300’ right of the centerline.

RST range estimate bumped up to 440 miles from 400 miles. Official launch soon I’m assuming. Price dropped around $10,000 to $96,495 https://www.forbes.com/sites/samabuelsamid/2024/04/03/2024-chevrolet-silverado-ev-rst-to-start-at-96495-this-summer/

Fastest peak charging so far on a Cybertruck. 330kW. Courtesy of….. Electrify America. 😂

Rustic Ring towing test. Summary, Silverado EV did far better than Cybertruck. Cybertruck not only had regen issues downhill with the trailer, the Cybertruck had issues with regen without the trailer when acting as a camera car for this test. (37:45) Zero issues with Silverado EV

500 mile towing test over the Rockies. Silverado EV 4WT destroyed them all. It only needed one charging stop over 500 miles and climbing the mountains twice. Cybertruck was last due to it’s poor range and even worse charging.

Newest base Silverado EV. The 3WT-1FL. 393-miles EPA. 12,500lbs towing. About as stripped-out as you can get! $66,900. Probably also making room for the upcoming consumer-level trucks largely put in the $70k - $80k range. Includes: (RT3) 18" steel wheels Removes: (BVE) Assist steps...

Thanks for the info!

New Silverado EV still charging at 300kw at 50% SOC. 100kWh delivered in 18 minutes.

Different test, but they just did a 70-MPH range test. 100% to totally dead. Diesel generator rescue crew. Silverado 4WT: 434 miles Rivian (Dual Motor, Large Battery): 345 miles Cybertruck Cyberbeast: 304 miles F150 Lightning (Extended Range Battery): 282 miles

No, unfortunately 😄. The guy running Out of Spec (Kyle Conner) did a spoiler on The Smoking Tire podcast today. They were apparently trying to keep it a secret. They explain the results at about 18:00 into this episode if people want to hear the results and some info. (If the link doesn’t work...

2,500 miles from Florida to San Diego. 3-part video coming this weekend. Cybertruck (Cyberbeast Founders Ed.) vs. F-150 Lightning Extended Range Lariat vs. Rivian R1T (Quad Motor) vs. Silverado EV (3WT) I know who won and I won’t spoil it. Should be an entertaining watch 👍

Equinox EV, Blazer EV, Prologue and LYRIQ all now qualify for the full $7,500 rebate.

I’m basing that guess on the Equinox EV. The AWD Equinox EV models are a $3,300 premium over the FWD models. As far as I can tell the FWD and AWD Blazer EV and Equinox EV have the exact same motors and battery. Seems plausible to me the price differences would be the same. Thats just my guess...

I might be wrong on this package thing. The Blazer EV forums are saying GM sent owners a letter saying they’re getting a ~$5,600 check as payback over these price drops. I can’t imagine they’d do that if the new lower price was mostly a decontented car...

“Critical Steering Issue Detected”

The Build function isn’t active right now - I’m guessing they’re updating it. But I’d guess a large part of the price drop is in packaging. That old $56k LT price included almost $4,000 in required packages. A 2025 LT with a NACS port might be a nice vehicle. Price should drop another ~$3,300...
