My reservation say 'WT or RST', so does that also mean that I'm in the same boat missing 2023? TIA.

I believe that is the case.

Another way to tell is that Reservations for RST were filled within minutes on 1/5/2020.. And since 2023 WTs are strictly fleet sales then yes to no Silverado EV in 2023.

hello, I'm here mostly to see if my dealership screwed me over. I reserved a first edition within seconds of the order form opening. My first edition confirmation email came in at 13:01 on Jan 5th. The online reservations were supposed to open at 13:00 but it opened at 12:59 and my order was already in before 13:00. I was originally contacted by a sales man from my local dealer and he told me I was first in line at that location. I recently ordered a z06 and went back to ask for that guy and was told he no longer worked there. I mentioned to the new sales man that I had a truck on order and he told me I was now 6th in line. I was pretty annoyed but obviously couldn't do anything about it. We don't know how many first edition reservations they took but what are the chances that 5 other people in my small Midwest town ordered a first edition within the first 30 seconds of availability? Basically impossible, right? #157XXX

I would not trust anything a dealership says.

Being in the dealership’s line is not the same as when your vehicle’s date of manufacture actually occurs. Also, as time goes by your place in line at your dealership will be dynamic and subject to change without notice.

As I have posted previously your reservation is not an order. At some future date you and your dealership will configure and place the order and you put down more substantial money. When your vehicle is actually built will depend on GM’s build plan/schedule which of course depends on production capability and parts supply.

You will eventually get your vehicle and having reserved early is better than not.

When order time comes be sure to get in writing the final price of your truck. Most dealerships are adding a dealer markup. You pay them $2k-10k over MSRP to give you the keys. Dealerships set the final price not GM.

I'm just spitballing here, but maybe it's possible that you're lower in line because the other 5 were WT models? WT models are suppose to be out much earlier. Pure speculation, but wanted to throw out a potential possibility.

Well possibly but I thought the first edition ones were supposed to be first off the line. I also ordered a wt/rst model moments after my first order so I still should've been fairly high in the line.

No. The WTs will be out first in Spring 2023. The RSTs were coming out later in the year. It's pretty well documented. So much so that the 3WT and 4WT RPO code sheets have already been released. They're available somewhere on this forum.

The WTs in 2023 are for fleets sales only not comsumer sales.

Still a long wait, 18-24 months for actual deliveries

Just added my information. I have a Lightning Lariat on order, but they keep removing stuff I want (no scales; no heated steering wheel; no advanced security system). It's not scheduled to be built until early April, so I'll have to wait and see what else disappears. Unfortunately, my 2006 Ridgeline is fast degrading and I don't expect it to last into 2024. I was fortunate enough to score a First Edition RST reservation and am most excited to make this my first EV. My only concern is the endless delays and feature deletions that seem to hit most EV manufacturers. If Fall 2023 turns into Fall 2024 for the Silverado then I'll be forced to buy another truck, at least in the interim. I'm also scheduled to get a Rivian R1T at the end of next year, but again, who knows if that will happen or what supply chain turmoil will turn that vehicle into.

Confirmed on Sep 24, 2022. My story is I'm all things E. Like eBike, eFoil. Love the quietness, clean energy. Been looking at eTrucks for a year. At some point in Fall '22 I tried to get in an order for the Lightning but alas the list was closed. When I 1st saw the Chevrolet Silverado in that blue color with the midgate and longer range I knew the Ford lightning was likely not going to be a contender for me anyways. Later in December '22 I saw the Ford Lightning Lariat with extended battery in red at a local dealer. It was a "mannequin" for the dealer to show for a few months. It had a buyer that was going to be able to pick it up this spring after the dealer wait period. I was able to get in it and check it out. It was stunning. It actually inspired me to look for one to purchase. I did find 2 that were available as mannequins but the dealers wanted 5k over MSRP and they didn't have the extended range battery.

As I dug into all things eTruck I saw the Denali EV, the Ram Rev, the Hummer, and I've known about Cybertruck and Rivian for quite awhile. I guess the big 4, Chevy, GMC, Ford, Ram appeal to me the most for size and local dealer/service support. The Ram Rev almost got me to sign. I knew about it before the Super Bowl and right up until the Super Bowl ad I was going to sign up but it was another $100 and the cool futuristic design was downgraded to a normal truck look and that turned me off. I know all auto manufacturers show a different car at the show than the production model but Ram's Rev went from an almost Tesla/Rivian-like truck from the future to a standard Ram 1500. The proposed 500 mile range plus the possibility of a "Range Electric Paradigm Breaker" for more range via a gas engine powering up the battery, though potentially awesome, is likely to be way down the road on future models and how many years can one wait chasing the "range" rainbow? Plus the Ram list is closed now and that is that. As is the Denali. As is the Lightning.

So maybe it's fate that the Silverado is available to me.

Welcome to the forum @eFoilguy. What Silverado spec are you getting? I heard that blue on the Silverado concept won't be here a couple years, if that. Chevy is just giving us mostly boring colors initially.

 

[eFoilguy]

I really would like the Trailboss version. My travels take me to flooded areas, snow and sand so clearance is everything. Yes anything can be lifted, any tires can be put on but I like vehicles that comet lady to go... How about you?

I’m hoping for a WT. I drive a Nissan Leaf and my wife drives a Volvo XC40 Recharge now, we are all EV. I sold my prized 1974 F100 about 2 years ago, letting go of my last carbon fuel vehicle. The Silverado EV will be my daily driver, and I’m looking for range and functionality. Very happy that GM has committed to be all EV by 2035 and glad to help them get there.

Welcome to the forum @mjoseph61g! How have the Leaf and XC40 been as your current cars? Were you considering any of the other electric trucks?

 

[mjoseph61g]

The Leaf was our first EV and has been a zero-maintenance daily driver. It’s limited range (boasts 150) keeps it in town, and it is a truly great car. The XC40 Recharge, with its all-wheel drive, became a necessity when I moved my family to Colorado in 2021. It is a fabulous vehicle and a great choice for my wife and kids. We had some software issues in the early months, purchased in March 2022, but there were resolved by Volvo by that summer. The Volvo boasts 250 miles of range and tows our teardrop-style camper but the 1200-1500 pound camper cuts the range in half. We have taken it to Florida, Louisiana and Texas in 3 different trips (without the camper) and found adequate charging for long distance travel with the exception of North Texas (oil country?) where we had to navigate by charging availability and add miles and hours to our trips. I’m hoping the Silverado WT will replace the Leaf as my daily driver, give me better range with the camper, and serve as a hauler for my many home improvement projects.

Welcome to the forum @Silver Joe! Congrats on ordering your RST! What about the Silverado caught your attention? What are you currently driving?
