Two things: 1. The range on this is why I could never buy a Cybertruck. Tesla is charging you the premium price, but refusing to put enough battery in it to give the range it needs (and that they promised). 2. You didn't mention one HUGE thing about charging: the location of the charge port is the same as that of all of the Teslas, so when it goes to a Tesla supercharger, it doesn't need to take up two spaces to charge!
Cybertruck in 3 years will look like a bad joke. After u see a few in person u realize its just flat out ugly asl. Plus they always look dirty af with the stainless steel. So ugly

I kinda had a feeling GM would kill the pickup truck game, but I cannot wait to see Dodge's response... they are literally the last one standing and I feel they have had enough examples to absolutely obliterate the EV game
Can't really call the Tesla a truck. It's completely non-functional as a truck; it loses 20% range when the tonneau is open because of the ridiculous shape. Because of the angles, you can't really throw anything in from the side, only from the rear. Which also makes it really difficult to even use the decent sized bed(anyone shorter than 6-0 can't reach anything mid/far back in bed without getting in the bed).
Your funny. The cybertruck get 10% more with the cover closed because it has the factory cover. The ridiculous shape makes that 10% possible. You will not see that improvement with other pickups. I have been hearing this " you can't really throw anything in from the side," from people who have never owned a 1/2 or 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive pickup. While you can "throw" things in, the boxes are too far up in the air to let you reach in and get stuff back out. I have a 1/2 K1500 and I can pick stuff up just along the box wall. I imagine if one has a 1/2 4WD from the F100 era you can reach in. I know the 1973 IH 4WD I used to drive was much lower.
@@danharold3087 it's "you're"...and, yes, I am. Only I speak in facts here, which is unfortunate for you Elon fanboys who can't admit when you've been bamboozled. Fact: the cyber truck is highly inefficient with the tonneau open. It's been tested, quite often, and proven to be a solid 15%, and up to 20% especially at speeds of more than 50 mph. Clearly you're not a real truck owner, or at least you're one of the truck owners who has never really used it as a truck. The standard large trucks you mentioned all have other means of getting into the beds from the side as well as the back. But, hey, you go on and keep telling yourself that it's a "truck" 😂

The Hummer is still the most appealing for me because I'm one of the (seemingly) few that finds their design language really appealing lol. I also think it's hilarious that the most gaudy, unnecessary, gas-guzzling tank is now a completely unnecessary, full-electric vehicle. The others, including this, don't have that same "wow" factor for me. The Cybertruck is less "wow" more "ugh", it's grown on me but not to the degree that I like it personally.
I just wish they could've found a way to get more efficiency out of the Hummer EV. That thing gets less than 1 mile per kWh. For reference, 3.5 is great and 5 is excellent.
This is like the 1st American car that I have ever truly wanted to buy. I’m a German car owner since birth basically so that is saying alot. Great job Chevrolet! Seriously.
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.
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.
Only the Silverado EV and the F-150 Lightning are real full size pick ups. All the others are just mid-size posers, not meant for regular pick up drivers, just suburbanites looking to butch up. I saw my first Silverado EV today - in the same spec and colour as the one you are driving. It was parked outside Mammoth Studios, near my home. I wonder which actor, or celebrity had early access to it?
I typically gravitate towards Ford and own a 24 F150 Powerboost hybrid currently, but I must say I'm very impressed with the new GM & Silverado EV trucks. They are the complete package with impressive interiors, modern and functional technologies and market leading range and charging speed in the full size segment. I also like the Ford Lightning but I understand that it's built on an ICE platform and is still agreat truck, but can't compete with these new EVs designed from the ground up to be an EV. I'm looking forward to the Ford T3 EV truck coming end of 25 which should give these two trucks a run for their money. I'll be seriously considering a full EV truck in 3 years time.
Love these! These things are game changers. Of course the RST is the top cost version, the WTs are more accessible and will continue to be so as time goes on and battery prices continue to drop. I aspire to own one of these myself.

I think for me, if I were shopping for an EV truck, it would be a toss=up between this and the R1T. Given I already have a Silverado, I'd probably end up going with another one.
It is the go to truck if you are doing a lot of electric towing. If that is your bag get it. In all other cases your generally better off without dragging around another 1000 lbs of battery that get you 100 miles more miles.
This is the first I'm hearing about an EV Silverado. Tesla started the EV trend but let's be real, we always knew a major car company would build the ultimate EV and completely blow Tesla out of the water. And sure enough, here it is.
Well, we still haven’t got anything comparable to the Model 3. Trucks SUVs are cool and all but a mainstream regular car haven’t been impacted as much.
It's been talked about for years and years by now. Likely, only reason you did not know of it is because you don't follow EV news, or, possibly, because you're European, where huge giant lumps like this one aren't even legal as regular passenger vehicles. ;) And, "ultimate EV", there's no such thing. People have different needs and different desires.
@UDO23111 can you name them please, I don't care or follow Elon btw, I just don't see any cars that are regular sedans that are affordable like the model 3.
Having owned a Rivian for a while now (Which I freaking love), the ram charger might be the way to go for me and a lot of people that tow. The silverado is nice, but that price....
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.
@@minch5537 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.
While Chevrolet makes terrible ICEs they having been making great EVs. As per Marques Brownlee. Chevy Silverado is the Number 1 EV truck! Also he said best deal for EV is the Chevy Bolt.
GM has three trims for the 2024MY. 2025 models just went into production and it will have six trim levels. I personally think the LT3 model will be the sweet spot for many. It has the Mid sized 20 module pack (170KWh) with 390 miles of range. Will also have 12,500lbs towing and nearly 1900lbs payload and be priced a fair bit less than the RST. Though you do loose the midgate.
Still have my CT reservation. Not sure why I have not canceled it yet. Ramcharger will be a much better option for me if RAM delivers on its promise. 690 mile range, so that's 345 when towing. 2600lb pay load and 14000lb towing. About 140 mile range battery only.
Wish people would stop the performance/0-60 times of what should be utility vehicles. It would be nice if GM would have an optional range extender in the fron-uck. Really can’t wait for the new ram with that setup. Want to see a 1k mile range truck. Also one the versions of the lucid air have been independently hwy range tested by out of spec reviews to 500mi
Review the Raptor R please. ik u have been focusing more on EV trucks but reviewing a car on the total opposite end of the spectrum would be quite intriguing to see, especially from ur prospective.
I would love to have one of these, but I doubt they'll come to New Zealand any time soon, plus price will be very high here. I do like the range over acceleration choice, I would prefer that over the alternative.
On par with gas cars? It's not even close. Name one that can go 440 miles on 6 gallons of gas. But, just to let you know, the Prius Prime, which is considered the most fuel efficient car on the road, won't break 400 miles. EVs exceeded gas cars a while ago.

Impressive. But I’m still waiting for solid state batteries.
I wish I was rich enough to buy this truck. I like everything about it.
If you told me that was a Chevy avalanche ev I’d believe you
It is the go to truck if you are doing a lot of electric towing. If that is your bag get it.
In all other cases your generally better off without dragging around another 1000 lbs of battery that get you 100 miles more miles.
the 16 camera is so beautiful damn
No 1 from Africa
This is the first I'm hearing about an EV Silverado. Tesla started the EV trend but let's be real, we always knew a major car company would build the ultimate EV and completely blow Tesla out of the water. And sure enough, here it is.
Well, we still haven’t got anything comparable to the Model 3. Trucks SUVs are cool and all but a mainstream regular car haven’t been impacted as much.
Don't forget that all of Tesla's patents are open source and they encouraged others to make the brand useless. (Before IPO)
@@enginerunsable there are at least 6 cars comparable or better than the model 3 lmao. Elon is not your savior
It's been talked about for years and years by now. Likely, only reason you did not know of it is because you don't follow EV news, or, possibly, because you're European, where huge giant lumps like this one aren't even legal as regular passenger vehicles. ;)
And, "ultimate EV", there's no such thing. People have different needs and different desires.
@UDO23111 can you name them please, I don't care or follow Elon btw, I just don't see any cars that are regular sedans that are affordable like the model 3.
Good review Marques!!!
Frunk having cupholders really makes me think that they're expecting people to vibe under the hood if it starts to rain feks.
I’m really stoked to see the Ram Rev eventually.
Having owned a Rivian for a while now (Which I freaking love), the ram charger might be the way to go for me and a lot of people that tow. The silverado is nice, but that price....
@@hivetyrant7ah yeah the Ram Charger is actually what I meant. I forget the name every time. But hopefully the Rev ends up being good as well.
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
@@minch5537 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
8800 lbs!? That’s insane!
29 secs in to the video and this car looks fantastic
$100k+ 🤯🤯🤯 Where are the EVs for the average Joe's like me? 🤔
Much better and much more beautiful than a Tesla Uglytruck.
imagine the range if it wasn't shaped like a brick.
100g's? Son, I'm going back to horses. Ya'll can take a walk.
While Chevrolet makes terrible ICEs they having been making great EVs. As per Marques Brownlee. Chevy Silverado is the Number 1 EV truck! Also he said best deal for EV is the Chevy Bolt.
this is the EV I would buy if I could afford it.
This makes me excited for the electric Tahoe whenever that comes
Great! Another viable option that avoids putting a single dollar in Musk's pocket.
GMC Sierra EV has hit dealer lots already
Seems like a really capable vehicle. Too bad the price and the fact that it looks like an avalanche will probably hurt sales
The camera!!
GM has three trims for the 2024MY. 2025 models just went into production and it will have six trim levels. I personally think the LT3 model will be the sweet spot for many. It has the Mid sized 20 module pack (170KWh) with 390 miles of range. Will also have 12,500lbs towing and nearly 1900lbs payload and be priced a fair bit less than the RST. Though you do loose the midgate.
Still have my CT reservation. Not sure why I have not canceled it yet. Ramcharger will be a much better option for me if RAM delivers on its promise. 690 mile range, so that's 345 when towing. 2600lb pay load and 14000lb towing. About 140 mile range battery only.
The way Stellantis is going I would not want to buy their vehicles. Could end up an orphan.
Arrow = aerodynamic 🤲🏽
A part of my soul dies everytime I don't get metrics in the specs
Of all the words to describe that front end "aerodynamic" shouldn't be one of them.
Wish people would stop the performance/0-60 times of what should be utility vehicles. It would be nice if GM would have an optional range extender in the fron-uck. Really can’t wait for the new ram with that setup. Want to see a 1k mile range truck.
Also one the versions of the lucid air have been independently hwy range tested by out of spec reviews to 500mi
Review the Raptor R please. ik u have been focusing more on EV trucks but reviewing a car on the total opposite end of the spectrum would be quite intriguing to see, especially from ur prospective.
You don't want a 9,000 0-60 in under 3 seconds land missile out in the public.
please review volvo ex90 🙏
You should say random RUclipsrs intro phrases to mess with them, lol
Actual physical buttons!
I’m still thinking about the price of the Panels app 😂😮
16 pro looks neat ngl
This got to win ev of the year
@2:40 It looks like an old skool Chevy avalanche, in my opinion.
I would love to have one of these, but I doubt they'll come to New Zealand any time soon, plus price will be very high here. I do like the range over acceleration choice, I would prefer that over the alternative.
MKHB I'm an OG sub, just my 2 cents. You should try and review the pebble EV camper trailer. It's the only one on the market.
Woooooooow now its almost on par with a gas car 😱 such progress
Find a gas car that is on par with an EV?
Just depends on which side of the fence your on.
On par with gas cars? It's not even close. Name one that can go 440 miles on 6 gallons of gas. But, just to let you know, the Prius Prime, which is considered the most fuel efficient car on the road, won't break 400 miles. EVs exceeded gas cars a while ago.
Thanks!
