Chevy has some EV silverados that look good on paper. I've never seen reports on how they do in the real world though. If the minimum price wasn't so high I'd have looked closer to replace my last truck. (maybe in a few years)

That didn’t really stop Canadian dealers from being scummy. I saw a bunch of “used” lightnings that were ~2 mo old and had ~2,000 km on them, being sold well above MSRP.

Aren't they coming out with the new lightning? Its supposed to have a gas generator onboard to extend its range up to 700 miles or like half of that when towing, which is what I heard was a major complaint on the battery only lightning

I ended up just buying a Bolt EUV '23 to give to my kids when they start driving and I'll just wait on the used market for me to get a light duty pickup for weekend projects. I get some looks pulling a trailer with my Bolt though, lol. Besides the Bolt did give me a good idea of what EV ownership is like and what I really want on my next EV for road trips; faster fast charge. 10-97% in 9 minutes sounds like a dream compared to my 10-80% in just over an hour in my Bolt.

I was trying to buy one in Jan 2023

That’s the one I was talking about above. I was saying I want more of that, but like classic cars like the ‘57 Chevy Bel Air. I’d buy one in a heartbeat if they made one.

Or like could you imagine if they went backwards on the trend of giant trucks and started making smaller classic body trucks, like if they remade the ‘95 Ford Lightning or brought back the El Camino? Smaller vehicle, lighter body, further range on battery and it’d look fucking clean

It's because of the price. I would've bought one already of it didn't cost so damn much.

Idk. I’ve seen a few, but it’s also a bus so I can see the lack of appeal. Minivans haven’t been popular for sometime. Try a more popular classic body and the reception would be wildly different.

Because it had poor interior room and a stupid price. Exact opposite of the vanagon.

It’s pointless. Any “truck” stuff this thing can do I could do with a Honda Civic.
