2024 Chevy Silverado EV unveiled - midgate is back!

2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV specs:
  • Expected GM-estimated 400-mile range on a full charge offered on Work Truck (WT) and RST
  • Up to 664 horsepower with more than 780 lb-ft of torque in available max power Wide Open Watts Mode on RST, enabling a GM-estimated 0-60 mph time of less than 4.5 seconds
  • Standard DC fast charging (up to 350kW) on WT and RST
  • Up to 10.2kW of offboard power on WT and RST with optional equipment
  • Up to 10,000 pounds of maximum trailering with up to 1,300 pounds of payload on RST. WT will offer 8,000 pounds of towing and 1,200 pounds of payload. After initial launch, Chevrolet will introduce a fleet model with up to 20,000 pounds max trailering with the max tow package

I was waiting for midgate to come back for years, finally. But I think Tesla will beat Chevy for the first midgate comeback on Cybertruck:

Looks like a Ridgeline and an Avalanche had a baby. Still a pass. GMC interiors just don't do it for me. Anytime that I see the interior of a GM car/truck I imagine that the designer has said to himself, "Yes, this is what the American people want." I prefer what the Germans, Japanese and UK consumers want.

I also see BMW influence here. Mostly that steering wheel. Funny how steering wheels on lots of vehicles these days, resemble that of the BMW.

Interior looks fine to me, kind of reminds me G05 X5 - it's a truck not a luxury vehicle after all. But speaking about designers, question: what do BMW designers say to themselves designing those giant grills... "Yes, this is what the German people want?"

Valid point. I'm pretty sure our Bavarian brethren do whatever they want.

I don't know much about trucks but the bed seems short for a Silverado sized truck? Will be interesting to see how this will stack up against the Ford Lightning.

The bed for Chevy is actually bigger at 5'-11", Ford Lightning got 5'-5", and using midgate makes it super flexible... But the damn thing weighs like a building...

Interesting, I guess the Avalanche roof style is throwing me off.

The midgate is the "killer app" feature of this otherwise very cool EV truck.
I love the original AV, and have been wanting GM to bring it back.

As difficult as it is for me to say about a GM product, this looks impressive inside and out.

Corvette, Escalade, CT5-V, Hummer, and now this. GM actually making some desirable products for once.

The center screen is way too small and it lacks the third screen (for the front seat passenger). We need more screens. And bigger screens.

Should have called it the EV-lanche. The midgate is probably the coolest thing GM ever did with their trucks, glad to see it's coming back.

I echo the sentiment, but EVs are here to stay. But I would rather have an EV truck than any of the EV cars. Trucks at least have the space for all the batteries and are heavy anyway.

Outside of being utilitarian and looking cool, trucks don’t handle well and aren’t known for driver engagement. Might as well be electric.

Looks good but six figures for the top-of-the-line version.

I understand, Ive got a TRX that'll be here at the end of the month.

People just aren't thinking steps ahead. Our current electrical grid can not handle the current influx of EVs that our overindulging government is asking for. Add the numerous other issues with the batteries and disposing of them, lithium mining etc, I can't understand why people think this is the right direction but I guess I answered my own question, they don't fawking care to know. Also, Ive had blistering fast AWD cars that shoot to 60 real quick, shit gets old just as quick. There is not one thing about an EV that has my appeal, not one.
