Composite body

[Likarok]

Does anyone know if the EV Silverado is built with composite body parts.

 

Had a Hail event with my High Country on Thursday and I am sick of Campbell Soup can bodies on new cars and trucks.

I'm willing to bet that some of it may be but not the whole thing.

Back in the hybrid Silverado days parts of the body were composite iirc

i doubt it.. maybe the bed is composite.  hoods have been aluminum tinfoil for a few years, why IDK..

I feel your pain!  My brand new 1986 Suburban was permanently disfigured in an Alberta hail event!  The roof wasn't bad but the hood was riddled with pockmarks.  Hail is apparently not a big enough concern for GM as their vehicles never could withstand Alberta hail1

Going for paintless repair tomorrow! $4600

what are you replacing for $5000

[Likarok]

Just having Paintless repair done. Removal of literally hundreds of hail dents on hood, roof, and passenger side. They have the truck for a week. $500 deductible is what I have to pay!

 

If any of you recall the 2014 rcsb GMC I had hailed in 2014 damage was $12000 on it. That did include some body work on that one though.
