    Good ol’ Dimmitt Chevrolet, the same dealership that tried to get a $100,000 “market adjustment“ on a Corvette Z06. At least on this car they are “only” trying to get away with scamming people out of $1899 for a Preferred Customer Package (nitrogen filled tires, that ridiculous pinstripe, etc.)
    Be sure you wear your body armor, and bring a whip and chair before trying to do business with these dealerships in Florida

      Well once you throw the $7500 tax rebate in there plus incentives..this can be had for low to mid $30k.

      ​@@greennesee that's what I despise with that rebate. It would be much better to just give you that amount as a discount when you're buying the car that same day instead of waiting for tax season to claim it.

      It's also a lot more affordable than the competition. You're comparing it to it's competitors that are priced at a higher tier. Chevy is rolling out a lot of offers for these. The lowest trim level is the sweet spot for the Equinox. With the $7,500 EV tax incentive, you're looking at about a $28k SUV brand new. Still has that beautiful infotainment screen and 319 mile range. Nothing comes close.

    The nice thing is the unlike the highly-troubled Blazer EV, GM did get the bugs out and got the Equinox EV to actually work reasonably well. The lack of Apple Carplay is not as much of an issue as people think, since it uses Android Automotive with built in Google Maps and Waze for navigation.

      The right tool for the right job that fits your needs. We can charge at home and love our two EV's. One we've had over 5 years, the other going on 3 years. Won't ever go back to gas. With that said, the Equinox and Blazer EV are both disappointing especially for their prices.

  • @ArthurBenetton
    @ArthurBenetton 2 месяца назад

    Joe I gotta say the Blazer EV is quite handsome - and seems to be a thoroughly engineered vehicle. This Equinox isn't quite as convincing but still worthy of success. You're right on for giving credit to the EV1 - GM deserves more respect than it gets for some of its recent models, especially their EV's. Nice review !

  • @GOD999MODE

    Every chevy car I owned started having problems around 60 to 70k miles. I had a 2013 cruze. Sold it after spending 14k in repairs over a year. Sooooooo many things went wrong with that car. Then I had a 2018 Equinox. That car started having engine problems around 65k miles. Dealership kept going back and forth with the warranty company. After 3 months the dealership said the warranty company refused to pay for the repairs and it was on me for 18k. I sold the car for parts and got a rav 4. I will never purchase another Chevy car again. They make mobile trash cans. Looking forward to customer complaints about this one.

    10:47 Recently, I realized that writing is very important. Until recently, I hated writing. I don't write beautifully and I thought writing was a hassle. But when it comes to studying, I thought that writing was more efficient. I'm currently studying English, and by writing in a notebook, I can physically grasp how much I've learned. For example, I think that knowing the fact that "I used two notebooks to study English in six months" leads to confidence. And because I think this confidence is important, I continue to write English in my notebook today.

    This is not a serious review. First, the FWD Equinox is not "about the same" as the competition if you're comparing it to an EV. Second, if you don't mention the glare issue, you're clearly not a serious reviewer. The glare issue is very noticeable on this vehicle and you can even see it while watching this.

    This was not a good review, he never mentioned charging specs, real world range highway verses city, etc
    He better stick to reviewing ice vehicles. He just did this for content and not to educate and inform the public public about electric vehicles. Out of spec reviews are the gold standard with respect to electric vehicles. He better try harder if he's going to be taking seriously with regard to electric vehicle reviews. This was a Fluff piece encouraged by the dealership. In order to properly review the vehicle he needed to live with it for a week and use it use it in day-to-day commutes. Only at that point can he actually give his true opinion of an electric vehicle
