Unboxing the Silverado EV

I had great plans to make lots of good pictures and videos of the delivery of our new Silverado EV RST – First Edition. But, the buying of this truck was so unexpected, that it caught me off guard. Also, it’s a little intimidating to be filming or snapping pictures with the sales guys around.

Then, we had to learn and set up our truck to go on our first trek and that consumed my time. Now that things have settled down, I will attempt to recreate the experience.

You can read how we came to acquire the truck in my post Happy Birthday America!

Here is a link to my first YouTube Video.

My editing skills are still a little raw. Hehe Please bare with me!

Accessories:

Inside the zipper bag. EVSE, 2 plugs, 4 trailer tire pressure senors and the tow eye.

2 pigtails for the EVSE, 110/120v and 220/240v.

In the frunk was a zipper bag branded “Ultium.” Inside the bag was the portable charger or EVSE, Two pigtail end plugs for the charger, 110/120v and 220/240v. This is the new EVSE that has the square plugs, unlike the old white ones that had a long, thin plug. The bag also included 4 tire pressure sensors for use with a trailer and the tow eye. We moved our bag to under the back seat.
