Pretty well equipped.

But no mid-gate standard or option on 4WT.

Standard equipment EN0 is my favorite. Engine Delete haha. It's like ordering a Custom 10 with engine delete.

I am surprised there is no option for a hard top, lockable tonneau. Just the soft roll up one.

Weight savings maybe? The problem with the Silverado is that hauling capacity, if that doesn’t get pushed higher (even 1500 lbs for !! sake) the truck won’t be a good hauling or towing option (add a couple passengers, 700 lb tongue weight, hitch and a suitcase and you’ve run out of capacity.)

Rest assured, It’s not going to be a good truck for towing or hauling.

Am I to understand that for a 400 mile range one will need to purchase a WT4 at more than $80,000?!?. If so, I am ready for my $100 reservation refund. C'mon GM, it has been a year since the Silverado EV reveal. Time to spill the beans on firm range and price options, order and delivery dates.

Pretty much.

A base Model X with 350 miles of range, seats 5, and has the ability to tow Class II loads with success (see the Tesla forums for convos there) will set you back $121k (before DFC). So yeah, a Silverado WT4 for $80k could be a bargain depending on how you spin it.

Heck, a $108k Sierra EV First Edition is a bargain when compared to the alternatives lol. The interior of a Model X is a minimalistic sad-face... not worth the $121k IMO.

I think early Silverado EV marketing lured a lot of us in with the prospect of a $39,900 base model with a 400 mile range. When it became clear THAT wasn't to be, many in this forum mentioned they could maybe live with a $10,000 increase over base MSRP if it would get them 400 miles of range. NOW the indication is that 400 miles will more than DOUBLE the $39,900 base model price. Say what?!? No way I can afford that. I'm just a guy. The big lure of this truck was lots of range at a reasonable price point. Ultimately that is where the EV future has got to end up. So sorry to see that a reasonably priced Silverado EV with an industry leading range is nothing more than a GM marketing ruse. I feel pretty disappointed and strung along.
