Please keep us posted.
This will be great to compare to the Fisker Ocean Ultra, Extreme & ONE models

Man, even the Blazer has a motorized charge port door.

Agree on range, 0-60, Starting price. I think the SS Model will be less.

Inside EVs has published. Official data:

Range up to 320 miles (RWD) 290 (SS0
0-60: SS model "under 4 seconds"
Price: SS model $66k, starting price $45k

Pretty darn close but once again GM disappoints on range. Surprise is that they have flipped the launch and will be starting with the mid-range vehicles instead of the SS. (Interesting.)
"The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV 2LT and RS will be the first to go on sale in summer 2023, priced from around $47,595 and $51,995, respectively. The SS will follow later in 2023, priced at around $65,995, followed in Q1 2024 by the 1LT priced from around $44,995 and the PPV fleet model."

I really like the design, especially the interior. Tesla is in trouble if they don't update the model 3 and Y.

Going with the Ocean One makes me feel a little better now. SS specs are lower and price higher than the Ocean One for me. WOW performance under 4.0 seconds, but what is the normal 0-60 in the 4.5 range?

The Ocean will have a similar "boost" mode.

As others mentioned range is disappointing and also GM doesn’t have tax credit, so you are getting less range at higher price.

Tesla will have no problems. I know a ton of people that will never own a Ford or GM product.

Where is that documented/mentioned?

I totally agree. The One is a much, much better deal than the SS. It has 20% more range, better performance, better charging speed. GM does have SuperCruise.

Hows that for turnaround time? haha

GM has done a good job of giving a proper smackdown to the stuff coming out of Japan. For folks who feel more comfortable with mainstream brands (a LOT of folks!) the RS will be very compelling.

There was a lot of hype around the new Ultium batteries and the max range is 320? The Ocean will have better range by an estimated 30 miles?

Agree, This would be my second pick after the Ocean.

I think the "boost" HF is talking about is this from magna:

"The next-gen innovations include Decoupling+, inverters with silicon carbide technology, and a boost function for a short-time increase of drive power (eg overtaking maneuvers). Magna’s Decoupling+ function on the front drive is unique in its competitive field and helps increase range without compromising driving dynamics and safety. Increased efficiency also reduces CO2 emissions, while the torque vectoring function can improve the safety margin by up to 10% by controlling each axle individually in all road conditions, as well as significantly reduce steering effort during dynamic cornering."

C&D says the sportiest version only goes 290 miles. That automatically puts it out of any kind of running for me. I expect 300+ at least.

The interior is very nice, though.
