The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali just went through its first real-world testing, and despite its massive battery weight, it still manages an impressive 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds. For a full-size electric truck that weighs as much as a small tank, that’s seriously quick.
There’s even a rumor that GM detuned the Sierra EV to limit torque for safety reasons, which makes you wonder, how much faster could it be if it were fully unleashed? At 745 horsepower, it already has supercar levels of power, but of course, weight is always going to be a factor.
The real question is, how does this balance out over time? Heavy batteries mean faster tire wear, higher running costs, and potentially expensive battery replacements down the line. Even at $100K+, is this truck profitable for GM, or is it just a tech showcase? And for those thinking about getting one, would you rather have more power, or is this enough for a luxury EV truck?
