@EVTrucking needs to move to PA lol.
Lol I can't tell who you're asking those questions to... but IMO...Will GM sell Silverados direct for 5% under MSRP? Do you guys think Chapman auto group is going to win over new customers with such a deal? Is it possible dealerships that take advantage of customers when times are tough are going to end up hurting their business long term? Can I go to a Tesla service center or Napa and order parts for a Tesla to do my own work?
Before I move to PA I will wait and see what Chapman does when the EVs start shipping.@EVTrucking needs to move to PA lol.
Thanks for your answers. I’ve got another question. If you have an issue with your Tesla which is clearly Teslas fault and they don’t want to take responsibility, will the Tesla service center advocate for you and fight “corporate”? If the service center screws you over will corporate fight for you to get service from the center? Just asking some questions to play devils advocate.
Assuming EVs are similar to non-EVs, a Silverado RST @ $100,000 (I like round numbers) is going to make the dealer about $15,000. So yeah, giving up $5,000 to get a marginal $10,000 is cool. But I think the key for Chapman may actually getting the cachet of being a high volume EV seller, and maybe getting more future Chevy EV allocation.Before I move to PA I will wait and see what Chapman does when the EVs start shipping.
5% below MSRP begs the question of just much they make at MSRP. Must be a good bit. 5% of $70k is $3,500.00. For those getting the late Summer 2023 RST that is a $5,250.00 discount on a $105k MSRP.
We will see how things shake out in 2-3 yrs.

When you make a reservation, yes - it does get your information to your dealer of choice. In regard to actually placing an order: If the Silverado EV reservation is anything like the Ford Lightening, the customer will be notified when they can order with their dealer. However, no matter how it shakes out, we have no intention of "skipping," regardless of what other threads/posts may say... you can check out hundreds of other customers that ordered from our Chapman of Horsham location for Ford & CJDR vehicles. 🙂[email protected], can you clarify what the reservation on a Silverado actually entails? I thought that I had a spot in line reserved and when my number came up, they'd let me place my order. Another poster in this thread is saying that the reservation is meaningless and that the dealer can just sell Silverado EV's to whoever he wants.
I have a reservation and I listed a dealer on Long Island as my dealer. I'm thinking that when my number comes up, that dealer will contact me about placing my order and that if i don't like what that dealer has to say, I can take my order to another dealer. I might have the whole thing wrong.
Can you explain, to those of us who don't know how this will work, just how it will work?
I'll have no problem transferring my reservation to you in Philly if that's what it takes to get a fair deal.
Thank you - I appreciate your message @swanjonson!I will be transferring my reservation to Chapman. I transferred my 2021 Bronco reservation to Chapman after they offered a similar discount on the Bronco.
Being from Mass, I had never heard of Chapman. I scheduled a call with the owner/principal who took the time to answer my questions and provide me references.
If any of you have heard of the mess Ford and other dealers have made with the Bronco you know of the fears of lack of communications and dealers taking advantage of the market and screwing the customers.
From converting my Bronco reservation to order, through the convoluted Ford updates through production and shipping, the Chapman team was there for me and their other customers. Many who were buying from outside of PA.
I will put myself out as a reference if anyone has any questions.
Hi. I am hoping other dealers will follow your lead. Unfortunately I live in the PNW otherwise I would transfer my reservation to your dealership.Hi Everyone – I’m Allie!
