Chevy updated some of the trim descriptions for the Blazer, and it looks like they removed Super Cruise from the RS trim level? I'll be very disappointed if Super Cruise isn't available on the RS.

If true, that's a huge mistake.

it will likely be an optional addon to get around the 55k rebate limit

Gosh, what does this new vehicle remind you of?

Looks like a fabulous car. Good luck GM! Subjectively, I think the Mach E is nicer looking and I have been more than pleased with it this past year and 13,000 miles. There's definitely room for more players in this market.

Very similar underpinnings will be in the Honda and Acura EVs they've revealed that share this platform and rough segment.

Interesting, so Honda/Acura are using the GM platform? Will probably be a much better looking version of the blazer if it’s true - I like Acura crossover styling a lot better than Chevy.

If they’re smart, more things will become “dealer installed add ons” and won’t be a part of the MSRP.

Honestly, I hope manufacturers exploit the crap out of the ridiculous MSRP “cliffs.”

People who don’t understand the tax code shouldn’t write laws about the tax code. Why these morons keep creating “tax torpedoes” is beyond me.

If there is a phase out it should phase out gradually. Percent of MSRP makes waaaaaaaaaaaaay more sense than all or nothing for a $7500 credit.

Hell, why not make MSRP $1 on all electric cars? Then let dealers sell at “market price” as they always have.

You betcha.

Acura is based on this concept....

And Honda has shown the production Prologue.

Both of them are on the Ultium platform from GM, shared in the similar wheelbase and battery size with its Blazer EV and the Lyriq.

Acura hasn’t designed a good looking vehicle in the last 25 years.

It was previously listed as an option for the RS so it's a little strange that they didn't keep it that way in the updated description. If there's no Super Cruise availbility for the RS then I may have to reconsider my reservation.

Bad news: the Canadian website is indicating that Super Cruise will only be available for the SS trim.

Oooo! I love the way the Blazer projects the glowing ring outside of the charging port. I bet no other car can do that. I wish my MME could project the glowing ring. So cool.

That's got to be worth an extra 70hp at least. Maybe it'll have one of those speakers that make it sound like a V8?

2.4 to 2.5 is about our road trip average in our GT if we are taking it easy. ~2.2 if we are pushing the speed a bit. This is in the summer. 1.8 to 2.0 in the winter on longer trips.

Ouch

From our friends at the BlazerEVForum. Production ready Chevy Blazer RS in Radiant Red Metallic! Still no confirmation

on whether Supercruise has been removed from the RS trim.
