Pretty funny they do a reveal almost 2yrs before it will launch. Yeah, no chance they are trying to steal some of Ford's momentum and media attention...
That said, some nice specs and while I never cared for the avalanche, other than that I like the styling and interior imho is much nicer than the Lightning.

Yeah that's the 1st release fully optioned rig. Pretty much the most expensive one they will make. The lightning not much better being mid $90's with lower (claimed) range and slower charging by half.They’re sure proud of it- $105,000
Well alrighty then...
Those are pretty much the #1&2 issues with ev. Range and charge time, if Chevy backs up their claim they will have significantly outperformed Ford. As in no contest winner. I am a Ford guy for most part (driveway full of them, Lightning reservation holder) I just like them better, but I also have a suburban we love. Based on Chevy reveal info I reserved a Silverado now too and will see how it plays out.

I saw a show today that TFL did with the chief engineer of it. She says they’ll have a work truck version later next year for $40,000. Still expensive if the work truck is still a stripped down version like the work trucks I'm familiar with.Ford has the Pro version that is thier work truck. It is actually pretty loaded for a work truck. Other than the rubber flooring and cheap vinyl seating it could be considered a mid/lowmid level vehicle more than a work rig. It will be interesting to see how Chevy compares once they start sharing specs on each trim level going forward. I watched the vid again with family tonight as well as a Car&driver walkthru. Even more impressed and leaving Silverado a bit. Pricing will interesting to see, right now on paper (all Mfg claims so bag of salt) the Chevy beats the Ford. I also find the interior much nice visually. You can tell Chevy spent time and designed it all together and did not just throw a big LCD in an existing dash. It has really started to sway my choice.

There will be canopys for them, there were for avalanche. I think the reveal vids showed some sort of service truck type tool box setup as well.
