I have heard and seen people lament that GMC is going away from CarPlay and Android Auto. In this video, I take a look at using the GMC Infotainment system with Google Services and and iPhone and what capabilities it does have. I'm not sure about you but maps, music, podcast or radio are the most used apps and are almost all the top ones are available using an iPhone, except Apple Maps. I am no...
Testing my costs. Can this be right????
Просмотров 6494 месяца назад
In this video, I did some testing on how far I can go and how much it costs. This test was real world testing. Not setup on a track or highway. Small trips, day to day. Even had the Truck running at times to keep the dogs cool while getting groceries. And used some offload power to power my garage during a brief power outage. Feel free to check my math and let me know what you think
Quick Road Trip
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
Did a quick road trip to show my father who is 88. I started with a 97% battery charge showing 438 miles of range. For the day, completed 334 miles with an indicated range left of 80 miles and 16% charge. Either I had more range left than 80 miles or the available range of 438 was high. All in all, 334 miles is a good drive day. Longer trips ahead as well as a fast charge testing. If you have s...

You might also want to precondition the battery. You can either do that thru google and selecting the charger or you can manually do it maybe 20-25 mins before arriving
you're still rocking a pixel 6 pro? oof, new one's are so much better.
Actually upgrade to Pixel 9 Pro xl. :)
Can you do a video about the volumne, I had not figure out how to use the volume dial.
I will
I cant believe someone bought a 96k vehicle thats worth 60k and next year with 15k miles on odometer, will be worth 45k. Its a gm product, you know the rear steering will fail
Can't believe, someone who doesn't own one, thinks they are experts. Heck, you could be right but you could make this same comment about 70% of all vehicles sold at 100k.
Well I think if this truck was ice it would still cost around 80 to 90k add in the massive battery , performance (0-60 and power curve) and the ability to power your house and this thing is easily worth 100k. If he keeps the truck long term and uses it a lot instead of just driving it to target and back the resale becomes irrelevant. He can get a warranty for when the rear steering and air suspension go.
Sure, it's the wind's fault 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing these yuppies, blame everything but the chinese engineered gm junk that the car is
@moth450 you think I'm a yuppie?
@EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1 an old one. Past his prime.
noun derogatory•informal plural noun: yuppies a young person with a well-paid job and a fashionable lifestyle. "stereotypical 1980s yuppies obsessed with material objects and financial success"
Screen trouble?
No. Uploaded in higher quality based on requests which captures screen refresh rate flickers. Does it make viewing harder?
I have a tesla level 2 charger and over night it only charged 11%. Im thinking its the adapter i bought from amazon or there might be a setting that delays charging till the night time that the dealership set. Hopefully its not somwthing else
nice video! probably buying one of these trucks this week. quick question, is there a way of typing in navigation while driving? even a passenger?
From what I have seen is no if you are only a passenger. But .. I want to test something on passengers have an idea.
@@EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1 let me know! thank you!
Exactly what happened
EA did that to me…after I stopped it kept saying charging, froze like that with notification bar showing. Logged out of the EA app and logged back in and that fixed it.
Keep up the good work. I’m thinking about trading in my Lightning for the Denali. I really want to see how the cold affects this truck.
Will do!
Can you film and upload in a higher resolution? It seems strange that you're videos are about a $100000 truck, but it seems like you're using an $8 camera.
I will ask Spielberg to punch it up a bit. 😁
Does have air conditioning on reduce charging speed
I haven't noticed much
great vids. thanks!
Glad you like them!
I like the information that utubers put out on their e.v. it gives an idea what to expect when traveling. Planning to buy a lightning or gmc sometime in 2025. Thanks for sharing your information
My first trips with warmer weather and little wind I got about 355 for best
So you have not gotten 440 miles (or close) on a highway trip? I heard you say its 300? its that far off?
Every EV range rating is going to be based off of slow acceleration, no payload, and no accessories running. 300 real world miles on a truck rated for 440 is really good. GM now uses Ultium batteries, which are more energy dense than every other manufacturer’s lithium based EV batteries.
I think ideal conditions ( temp, wind speed, internal temperature, moderate driving spread (65) and Payload) may get 350 miles. I'm in the middle of a trip right now that I will be posting some interesting data.
Is this like the idle optimizer feature thats in the Freightliner's?
No idea what a Freightliner is.
On the interstate I have found Super Cruise to be awesome! But haven't done it on anything but I-10. Have had my truck for two days.
That is awesome!
Just picked my White Extended Range up two nights ago! Wasn't planning on buying an EV as I went to test drive a Corvette but saw one of these in the showroom and was immediately intrigued. Had no clue what it even was. HAHA. Love it so far! Thanks for the videos. Going through them now.
Enjoy the truck.!!
Good choice!
Thanks your videos are informative
Thanks. Not an expert RUclipsr. But I will get a little better 😂
Glad you like them!
youre not getting full dc charging speed because youre getting 400v from the supercharger. they cant do 800v. at a 800v dc, youll get 350kw.
Yep thanks for reminding me. Forgot. Plus I'm a noob! 🤣🤣 Although, I have not ever gotten 350. Just today at 350 EVGo and it ramped up to 250, lasted 4 minutes then throttled down to 186. Only vehicle at charger. Is 350 a white 🦄
Nice tip. Quick vacuum would be good too
Fricken cold. Have to be very quick
Love the fact it looks like you use your truck. Keep the videos coming. I also have edition 1. Wondering if you have noticed you can use Google voice to enable the steering wheel heat, but not turn it off with google voice.
same, but i found my thumb works just as good to turn on off :)
Denali 🤔
Is that a question?
@ it’s a “damn... what’s it like driving a huge/sick ass truck like that???!!” 🤔 I drive a ‘97 Toyota Camry😪☹️ 🤡🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤡
Thank you for thE video. Did the truck come with any adapters? Did you need any?
I had to buy an adapter for Tesla. Check out that video
Nope
Nice video. Although less Blair Witch style would have been nicer. And yes, the Tesla app works better and faster. And if you're on a road trip, you can sign up for their plan for that month and save 25% per kWh. You can cancel at any time. It'll pay for itself after just one charge. And probably after just half a charge on that large battery you have. I have seen over 180kW on some videos on your truck, and I've heard it can even do 200kW if the SoC is low enough.
I'll try to work on my camera skills. 😁
Not a big deal, but to clarify. The reason charging is slower at home, is provided your home can provide enough electricity, the limiting factor is the vehicles onboard inverter. When you go to a DC fast charger, those have industrial sized inverters that take the grid's AC and converts it to high power DC.
yes, thanks for clarifying. Again, I am still a noob.:)
DC Fast Chargers use much more power so they can go much higher than the lower powered home chargers. V3 Superchargers can provide up to 600amps and use around 400 volts (480V max). While 350kW DC Fast Chargers can provide up to 1,000 volts. The highest home charger is 80amps and limited to 240 volts at the most, but those are only for very large batteries. Most home chargers only use 40amps or less. The same as a clothes dryer, or oven, or large air-conditioners.
@@junehanzawa5165 You are correct that there are home chargers that can go up to 80 amps. But the limiting factor is still your car. If I plug my Tesla Model 3 RWD in to that 80 amp charger, I'll only get 32 amps as all home chargers are "Level 2" chargers. A Level 1 or 2 charger supplies AC power to the car, that the car then has to convert to DC. The car is responsible for the conversion. At a Tesla SuperCharger, my car will max out at around 172KW because it supplies DC power that bypasses my onboard inverter. Bigger vehicles, with bigger batteries, have larger on-board inverters to cut their home charge times down. A cybertruck has roughly 2x the battery than does my model 3. Thus they typically have an inverter to match, keeping the charge speeds relatively the same.
@hieyeque1 Correct. They are also limited to the onboard AC to DC inverter for home charging. But there are such things as home DC to DC chargers (although they cost in the thousands, and chargers do the conversion) but would still be limited to the power provided to a normal home. Those 40 and 50kW chargers are used in some work offices/spaces situations where they install higher 3-phase power than a home's typical 240V.
What kind of problems have you had in 5k miles?
Nothing really. Small weird things. 1. Sometimes using Bluetooth i couldn't navigate back to FM Radio. I had to go to Sirius Radio and then could navigate to FM radio. Havn't seen this in last month. 2.One time, my screen was, not blank, but empty. I had the screen up that splits into 3 different screens and all the data areas was blank. I tried restarting vehicle, turning off screen with no resolution. I have 2 profiles and when I change the profile it worked. Then switched back and it worked. Changing profiles seems to reboot the Android operating system. 3. Had to learn to close the tailgait a little harder. Especially the upper gate. 4 Recently have had some camera Dirty messages. I just read that you may need to run your defrost as this is common on non EV vehicles. The camera in question is the one behind your rear view mirror. Otherwise I have had no issues. My vin is 00481 which is one of first. They may have paid a little more attention. :)
Where did you get the converter/adapter?
Lectron
Thanks for the informative video. Keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Great video! I learned a ton. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I had a similar issues, I came back into my truck to try this and it just works now.
Awwsome
Not worth it ... Lame .. For 100K ( $112 K out the door ), No Luxury features for Driver or Passengers Like Massage Seats / Reclining Seats in Back. Pass..
Have you picked yours up yet.:) May not have the luxury features you like but this thing is awesome. Thanks
I pick mine up today in a few and looking forward to it
Does it not let you put the map in the instrument cluster?
yes it does.
One correction, your apps do not have to be created using a google account. To use the easy to use QR code but you can login with any legacy accounts manually on screen .
My Chevy bolt screen can be rebooted with power button and home button. There must be a combo button to do the same thing.
Are you on Texas by chance? DFW area?
I am not
Nope
I have the camera rearview mirror on my '19 Denali and totally love it. It did take a few days to get used to it.
What is the logic behind GM dropping "Car Play"?
I don't know but here is my guess. They want to control the interface and instead of them having to "support" car play or android auto or anything else whenever that software company makes a change, they have decided to provide the integration and have the app makers provide supported apps. Then those supported apps sync with whatever accounts you have via there interface. And as of now this is a service $$$ all be it free for several years. This is all just my speculation. Also. They provide this as a service
Nice meeting you today Kevin! It really is a beautiful truck!!
Imagine spending 100k dollars on a truck and it coming with (Premium Leather Alternative Seating Surfaces) basically a fancy word for vinyl that’s garbage seriously
I think it is just fine. Easy to clean and durable. To each other own
Nice truck! I have the similar Silverado EV RST. How do you like the passenger door mirror? They removed the convex mirror on the Silverado and replaced it with a flat glass mirror and it doesn't give me enough "wide angle view" of the area on the right side of the truck.
Not a fan. Great catch that I didn't call out. I do think that visibility is good overall though.
Interesting 4x8 doesn’t fit when it supposed does on the Silverado. Makes me think the bed is longer on the Silverado but gmc doesn’t want ppl to know
I am a newly minted RST Edition 1 owner (in white) and found on the back roads in western MD with one petal driving with a couple weeks under my belt I can hyper mile a bit better and now can average 1.9 Kw/mile which puts the full battery range around 470 miles. I put a 100 amp circuit in and now charge at 19.2Kw. (I have a Lryiq to share charge duties) The truck is awesome. Enjoy your truck in MN.
If I could afford it I would love to have 1
No Apple Car Play is a No Go for me.
What apps do you use? I would like to try and test what features may be missing or not able to be used.
All I really want is Waze.
70% of phone users are using Android.
4 months in and I'm very happy with it.
I had the same experience with the lyriq view mirror when i test drove a lyriq. But in a Silverado EV test drive it wasn't as bad. We have a sierra ev e1 on order and looking forward to it. Thanis for the video.
I believe Denali come with 35in tires, will switching to 33 or smaller tire size bring range closer to 500 miles?
@@dmitrydk92 I'm not an expert in that area but, you may get 500 odometer miles if you don't calibrate the smaller tires to the vehicle. 😀 But actually miles will be the same
@@EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1 HAHAH! Brilliant point!
@@EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1 No. What @dmitryxxx26 is talking about is the rolling resistance. Tires have a massive impact on EV range since they are the only component that comes in direct contact with the road. Off-road/AT tires will have much less range than street/summer tires. This has been proven in many videos with the F150 Lightning where both styles of tire are offered from the factory. I believe it's somewhere around 5-10% difference. So for this truck I believe it would be between 20-40 miles total.
275 50 24 for the tires and I do miss apple Carplay, especially for notifications. Denali Edition 1, supercruise you are right on interstate driving I feel safer, but I will agree 1-foot driving is good to have and with supercruise in the right places doing 65 mph doesn't feel so brutal!! 😂
Thanks for the video. In terms of music availability offline, if you have RUclips Premium I think you should be able to pre-download liked songs on your car and then not depend on the 4g when it's spotty. At least that's what I'm planning on doing. I'd be curious to know what the storage limit on those is..
