I have no doubt there are buyers for the truck. I would have one but a big issue will be the commercial sales will be lost to Ford. 200 miles plus is plenty for the average commercial user. They are marketing strongly to them.

Funny how quick you are to judge me by a current job while you qualify yourself twice in this thread as, "I lived in the south for nearly 30 years. ", and " at least, was in the auto industry from 1980 until about 2000". So you got to see what bad looked like. Ask Sandy Munro what he thinks of...

The future is electric and they are not vertically integrated, have...
Chevy, our country's top EV company according to the Biden administration has sold 26 EV's this month and has now released their 2024 Silverado EV renderings.
