The $40,000 Chevrolet Silverado EV Is Officially Dead

The $40,000 Chevrolet Silverado EV Is Officially Dead
Story by Tom Moloughney • 4h ago
 
While it may not come as a huge surprise, it's most definitely a big disappointment.
Chevrolet announced today that, unfortunately, it will not be offering an entry-level $40,000 Chevrolet Silverado EV after all.

Granted, it's not a complete surprise because the entire electric vehicle industry has been under pressure to increase prices in the past three years. Still, it's disappointing to find out with certainty that the possibility of being able to reserve an affordable, entry-level Silverado EV is gone.
 
Chevrolet's website had previously shown the Silverado EV could be reserved with an estimated base MSRP of $39,900

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

ICE baby ICE.   
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Electric pickup trucks are a ridiculous concept.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.
