I always liked the Avalanche I had. Looks like they brought it back.

Die in a fire, surrounded by odd numbers and white wheels....

 

Why don't you add Thomas Edison or Charles Seeberger to your list?

 

I dig it! Put a V8 in it, lower the price by a good amount, and I'd be interested for sure! Love what they did with the bed/back of cab thing.

 

Impressive at 0 degrees C or lower. I wonder if they were running cabin heat, defrosters, wipers, lights, etc.

 

Its GM.

If there's one thing you can count on ....the MSRP they are claiming will increase by 50%.

Driveline components will fail.

All your friends will think you're sooooo dreamy.

Hopefully they'll delay launch of the Wayne county edition complete with bullet holes in the doors.

 

$105k electric Avalanche? Don't they already have this same shit coming out but they called it an electric Hummer?

Who in the hell is buying this stuff??

 

That's like the typed equivalent of an uppercut right there.
Succinct and direct.

 

Already recalled



Long-standing safety guidelines include avoiding depletion of the battery below a range of 70 miles, not parking the car in a garage, and avoiding charging the vehicles overnight.
Chevrolet Siverado EV owners should park on open decks, or on top floors of parking garages. Additionally, GM advised Chevy owners to park at least 50 feet away from other vehicles, an impossibility for most of those who live in cities.

General Motors spokesperson told the Detroit press that Chevrolet Silverado EV owners who are following the other safety guidelines can park in parking structures and within 50 feet of other vehicles, as long as they leave “ample space” between vehicles.

The recall, which includes all 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV electric vehicles could cost General Motors up to $2.8 billion.

General Motors said it will only start replacing battery modules when it and LG, the battery manufacturer, are confident that the batteries are safe and defect-free. General Motors will issue 8-year/100,000 mile warranties for the replacement batteries.

 

If the price is reasonable and durability isn't an issue, this would be a game changer.

 

Yeah...But can it squat,and power a shit ton of fluorescent lights? and gigantic bro tires and wheels?

Dang it. Guess I missed out. Oh well I'll be forced to drive my 5.3 gasser another year. Shucks.

Now I may be forced into adding that 6.2L intake and throttle body since I cant buy one of these...darn it.

 

First edition. What's that like 5 avalanches?

 

Good. Another EV thread to get the Ban-bus going....

 

A fool and their money is soon parted...
