From what I've seen on youtube / auto magazines, towing with an EV takes a massive hit to its range, way more than a diesel truck. If it's only an occasional thing (e.g. take the boat to the lake on the weekends, now with an extra hour sitting at a charger), then it's probably a good tradeoff. If hauling is your job, it might not be there yet :(
Chevy is lying. It will tow 20,000lbs, but for 50 miles only, and it will cost $40k, but for a nonexistent trim that comes without battery and wheels. Real specs will be 5,000lbs x 250 miles @ $100k (with taxes and other bs).
Actual official starting price is $52K. But still - I have a deal of a lifetime for you. Ill buy 100 of them from you right now paying $62K cash money. You have a chance of a lifetime to make a cool $1mil shuffling some paper. How about it?
pro tip: they lie, thats what desperate car companies do.
Its not popular, its manufactured in small numbers (few thousand per month) and sold at huge dealer premiums.
Chevy is lying about the price same way Ford was. Nobody bought Lightning at msrp other than brand advocates and media personalities (certain youtubers magically get allocated unobtanium cars skipping queue and sticker price).
