Great product. Could be my next truck. Max 478mi is amazing, but honestly if the cost savings is there, that 410 is getting close to my current 440, I think I'd be comfortable sacrificing 30mi of ranch of $5-10k in savings.

The issue I'm having, and picked up from looking into the LT's, is that there will surely be some kind of package you'll be forced into for the Super Cruise which is a must for me. That means that it will still be $80k, and not enough savings to come off my Sierra EV. Just need SuperCruise/Lane Center on a $72k or less pickup. With Tax credit, only Ford and Tesla offer this at the expense of range. My Whack-A-Mole game for the perfect truck continues.

Thanks Nebula... it's just soooooooooooooooooooooo annoying. I don't need 22's, I don't need mid-gates, etc etc... please please GM just give us the tech. If I end up in a Tesla CT, if and when they increase range, it will be because of stuff like this. Actually, the Lightning Flash package comes with Blue Cruise capability for $67k pre-tax credit; how does GM choose not compete in this space.

Sorry guys, I know this is repetitive. 😒
 
Better handling and with a smoother ride.
Btw, any major impact on efficiency? Found a nearby shop with Hummer EV 18" Takeoff's that have tires sized 305/70/18. In my case I'm assuming maybe a possible gain in efficiency vs 24's, but just curious as to your experience.
 
My experience with the 305/70-18 is about .1-.2 mpKWh loss compared to the factory 24" wheels and tires. The 285/75-18 Nokian severe snow rated tires I replaced the Hummer Goodyears with didn’t change it.
Woof...I don't know if I can lose any more efficiency with my driving style and 80% freeway driving. Good thing these have such great range, because I'll still consider it. I didn't dream of modifying my prior Lightning, I needed every last mile of range :LOL:

So it's a tough call. I can get Hummer EV take offs with basically new stock tires for $1,800. However, I was thinking maybe I can just find some other 18's and get something like a 270/70/18; that would make it the same width as the current tires. I just don't know if it will look funny.

That said, it'd also be more expensive to do that, making this whole thing a moot point as I'm not trying to spend a ton here. Just don't want my truck to stand out as much on the job sites, or during long road trips.
