GM has a habit of choosing an high profit vehicle versus a popular one. The Avalanche was very popular as was the impala, caprice rear drive. Through advertising trucks took the lead. A real profit maker. There’re banking regulations will do that for electric vehicles. The problem is election’s change things. Interesting times.

You know what, just had a thought.  GM should have put a midgate in it and called it AVALANCHE (blue E obviously).  This is a huge missed opportunity to bring back the Avalanche as an exciting EV opti

I'm just saying if you never trade it in then depreciation is not ownership cost at that point. Trading it in yes but if you keep it then no.   Undesirable vehicle is up to the owner. I woul

It not horrible looking, but I am not interested in one of these. We don't have the surplus here in Iowa for EV's yet, plus I am not waiting around for 3-4 hours to charge my truck when I need to get

Reveal at CES changed to being done remotely.

 

But it is Jan 5, 2022 at 9amPT/12pmET

 

Not sure what happens to link after they are done, but this is a link to the feed

(as I type it is displaying a countdown timer...)

Battery electric, as we know it today certainly isn't for everyone but there seems to be a market.

Ford was planning to build something like 100,000 the first year -- and decided to cut-off pre-orders at 200,000 units. Out of near say 900,000 million ford trucks those are no where near 'replacing' internal combustion unit's, but even 100,000 is more than the annual sales of many car platforms

 

Yes, pre-orders aren't sales. Yes, lots will be folks hoping to flip one.  But it's still a lot of units.

 

I'll be interesting to see how they perform in the market and how they are able to improve the range for those than can't work with the ranges we currently hear about.

My kid played baseball this fall with another kid whose dad works at Rivian.  I spoke to him about hydrogen.  He said they looked into it and it's not happening.  I'll settle for a diesel electric hybrid, like a train.  Being a military family that moves every 3 years, plug in electric is a no go.  Not enough range.  I don't think I'll be satisfied until electric trucks can get 700 miles without a trailer.  Towing would cut that down to 250-300 miles.  Then I'll be ready to buy one. 


Yea EV companies won't invite hydrogen at all, but I think the long standing automakers would if/when people realize it's actually better than EV if we can use it as we used gas and diesel ICE's. Who knows though, what is best for the customer and what is most profitable can be hard to reconcile in the auto industry these days. Always been a problem to reconcile what is best for the environment and what is profitable when it comes to most industries, too.

The whole aspect of charge times and being predisposed to a certain range are the real shortcomings I see with EV, so hybrids of any sort seem like the better option. Until they make batteries for EV you can just hotswap that is, but that would probably be especially expensive. I'm sure these EV trucks will be nice, I just don't find them compelling for my lifestyle or truck needs.

Took about 25 minutes of 'other stuff' but they finally got to the intro in the live feed.

Hmm, EV to EV charging. Guess if you are running low battery life, just "siphon" some juice from a Prius at the Safeway parking lot🤔😬

 

They were talking about EV's this morning on the local talk show, and one of the gentlemen had a great point.

What happens if you are stuck on one of mountain passes, sitting for hours "idling" with the heat going and your battery dies? Who is quilified, or how do you jump start the EV to get going again? 

I have no idea, mainly because of no disire to own one, so have done zero research on EV's.

Good idea, but where are you going to get gas for it?  (Current administration will be getting rid of oil/gas) 😡

Anybody else notice the quick little comment about a Trail Boss EV Silverado?  That'll be interesting.  I'm not a fan of the new Avalanched Silverado, but if you held a gun to my kids heads and told me to pick an EV or they die if pick the new Silverado.  No point in holding a gun to my head, lol.  I wouldn't pick an EV in that scenario.

Get to the top and coast downhill while dragging the brakes.  Brakes have regenerative charging.

Just carry a gas generator in the bed. 

Why not have a generator already in the truck from the factory, like Ford did?  I wish GM did that.

The more I look at the pictures on Motortrend, I don't like it! The front end is too busy. They should have made it look like the refresh Silverado. I do like the Avalanche style back end! Very nice touch. The inside is ok, but the cheap looking buttons/climate control knobs underneath the HUGE screen looks wacky!!  Otherwise interior flows very well!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
