The model on display at the NYIAS still had a manual wheel based on some of the YouTube reviewers who sat in it. Doesn't mean it can't be addressed by the time it hits the market though.
Yes. It's been proven enough times by other OEMs the "first buyers" are likely the most animated and will spend whatever it takes to get an EV/EV Truck. I'm surprised they didn't announce a "First Edition" with every option (besides larger battery) plus exclusive badging for a minumum of $110k...
I am also looking for this to replace my Rivian. The Sierra/Silverado twins just look too big even if they do offer 4 Wheel Steering. Late gen RAMs have always looked nice, just hope the interior is a bit nicer to the touch.
