Guess I had Rivian on the brain (which is not something new).
There's a way to trick the system into letting you reserve it. I'm not sharing how, but the FE RST is $105,000. Way too expensive unless the stats are amazing.

Ouch!

Suddenly the Lightning seems cheap.

Website said First Edition RST, e-mail says WT or RST. Guess they put some extra check in between the two to stop it from being FE in their system. I'd recommend just waiting until they actually open.

It wouldn't matter to me how amazing the specs are, there is no way I would pay that much.

With their asterisk, I'm guessing they can make all of these they want and keep the price at $39,900. However, the "Destination Freight Charge" may climb to $20,000 or more*.

I submitted my preorder and got a call from my dealer within 5 minutes.

Lady was completely clueless and had only seen a single photo of it this morning by their rep.

Her comment was "Wow, you must really want this even though it won't be delivered until 2025."

I'm the first preorder for my dealer but doubtful this will be something I would order unless the $40k option is actually available and the Lightning isn't.

They fixed the glitch. I'm sure they'll reopen it at 1pm when it's officially supposed to open.

While they were updating the pages and connecting, you could reserve but somethings are screwed up with my reservation. It is safer to wait.

looking at it in the presentation, I'm honestly surprised they're calling this a Silverado and not a return of the avalanche.

Edit: with the pass through back enabled, I really don't understand why the hell they didn't call this an Avalanche!

I loved my avalanche. Until the lifters went out at 100k miles.
