2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV Reveal

IMO they further ruined the iconic Blazer name, as Ford did with the Mustang. With all the high paid employees they have to name cars you'd think they'd be able to figure out another name for it, and let the Blazer name rest in peace.
 
The skin looks great, but it's nut cuttin time on the farm.

Its past time to see how good of a vehicle it is and whether or not its competitive on a long trip.

The fact that we have no data and the first vehicles have rolled off the line isn't good. Feels like GM is hiding.
 
I don’t care for the roofline but i get it, aero. The interior is nice, though really it looks like they crossed an AMG with a Genesis - but both are great influences and if the interior is that nice then it’s a compliment, though I’m always shocked at how much better gm interiors show in pictures and rather disappointing in person.

arent GM and honda in cahoots for some Honda EV which is supposed to land in ‘25? Is this the GM variant?

Cadillac LYRIQ, Chevy Blazer EV, Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX are all very closely related and sized, from what I can tell. I think the Prologue should be fully revealed soon. On sale 2024(?) It’s been driving around almost fully uncovered lately.

LYRIQ will do 330 miles at 70 MPH (State of Charge YouTube video coming soon), so some pretty good range on this platform. Need more charging info though.

They’ve managed to make a shape that doesn’t look like an abysmal crossover. It gives me a bit of an Audi Alltrack feel. I think I like the Honda even more than the Blazer styling.
 
“GM Reportedly Building 65 Chevy Blazer EV Units An Hour In Mexico”

This same outlet reported they manufactured ~5,900 Hummer EVs in the first 5 months of 2023, but only ~60 were actually sold through Q2. So who knows….

🤷🏼🤔

Regardless of how many Hummer EVs have been made I don't think too many are interested in owning it. It's probably the worse possible scenario for an EV. It weighs more than twice the average EV and because of that is horribly inefficient. It weighs 3 times what my current daily weighs. That's nuts.

There isn’t anyway to know how many are interested until they are available for sale which is now underway.
This is a specialized vehicle like any $100,000 vehicle it’s not going to have the sales numbers of something 1/3rd or even 1/4 the price like a Bolt.

I suspect you will be surprised at Hummer EV sakes numbers by the end of the year
Yet I think any $100,000 + years vehicle is a gamble by any company

Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of what they did with it is cool, but it's a niche vehicle by price like you mentioned. I'm still really surprised I haven't seen a single one as far as my travels go. I'm sure I will eventually. Even something like a Model S which has been out for 10 years I rarely see those other than the older one down the road that was bought used. Actually as far as cars go I had to make an early morning run to the store about 6am. I jump on the highway through my town of 16k people and I see an Aston Martin Vanquish on the highway. It was in my favorite AM metallic brown color too. If I was a multi-millionaire I'd probably buy so many stupid things. That could include an EV Hummer at that point. I think it might just be dumb enough that the type of person buying it probably won't drive it much.

It’s funny, if I win the lottery the Hummer EV isn’t on the list of cars. It’s just too ridiculous haha. An Escalade IQ, however, hmm… :)
