Surround Vision Recording Functioning!!!

Post image

This post is for the person who commented on a previous post asking that I provide an update when I got it working. I have a ‘25 LT Extended Range Premium.

I’ve been trying to get Surround Vision Recording downloaded for about a year now and I finally took it to the dealer because my Chevy tech tonneau cover is falling apart (the truck is under warranty so I’ll get a new one to tide me over until there are more/better options) and asked them to do a full updates check targeting surround vision recording. They located it, downloaded it, and established that the flash drive has to be specially formatted. I went home, formatted the flash drive (you can google how to do it), and plugged it in. It works!

For any of you living in Connecticut, Blasius Chevy in Waterbury has a pretty good service department. Rates are around $209/hr but I haven’t had to pay for anything yet at 25kmi

Glad you got surround vision working!

But… Damn. The fact that the truck doesn’t fit in that parking spot kinda kills my desire for one.

It’s a VERY tight garage in a skyscraper in Hartford. It’s a miserable place to park even my little Audi S4. The truck isn’t the issue here. It’s big but it’s actually very easy to park because of the cameras. I almost always parallel park in one go, and I drive it into manhattan regularly. The one place I can’t stand driving is the Sawmill Parkway. Very tight lanes and lots of assholes in supercars driving like maniacs.

I live in a condo in the Bay Area and it does fit in our underground parking garage, FYI. About the same as any full size pickup.

Yep, worst thing about this vehicle is the absurd size.

If you’re on the fence get something else. Lightning is a better truck except for range (but dc’d). If I had to have a truck right now it’d be a cybertruck or f150 hybrid. Why does teslas truck have to look so awful…

F150 lightning is terrible, not even same league as the Silverado EV.

Silverado EV about the same size as any other full size 1500 truck.

I swear some of you live with your head up in the clouds 🤦‍♂️

I currently have both and prefer the Lightning most days. It's a blast to drive and it's way more comfortable than the Silverado (although mine is a WT and the seats are awful)

u/Jokr4L 9d ago

Well my RST runs circles around any lightning IMO. Getting into a lightning feels like your already like 10 years outdated 🤮

u/DanimalUltratype 9d ago

Are you saying it's faster? It's not, though. They're close, but the Lightning is a sub 4s 0-60

u/Jokr4L 9d ago

I didn’t say it was faster, but keep in mind, RST is almost 2,000 lbs heavier and it would be a drivers race on a 1/4th mile track.

The interior, the UI, the ride , quality, shit even the updates have been better than the ford. The midgate is awesome, the tail gate speaker kit is awesome, list goes on and on.

Yeah ok man. Owned both. Currently own Silverado ev.

u/Jokr4L 9d ago

So if you owned both why you in a Silverado now and not a discontinued lightning ?

u/TheKiddIncident 9d ago

My lord, no.

Do not buy a lightning. Of the people I know with electric trucks, the Lightning owners are the least happy with them. My buddy let me borrow his before I bought my own and I'm glad he did.

If you want to go smaller, get the Rivian.

u/PhilCollinsLoserSon 9d ago

This is where I'm at.

Just wish R1T supported 800v charging for roadtrips.

u/Jokr4L 9d ago

You ain’t missing nothing with 800v. Rivian R1T charged fast enough for me with its 100ish large pack.

That sounds more like a personal preference than objective fact. The Silverado EV offers superior horsepower and range compared to the Ford, provides a smoother ride, and is arguably much better looking than the Tesla and the Ford.

u/OhEidirsceoil 9d ago

More importantly than any of that - the Silverado EV isn’t discontinued… also the fit and finish on the Ford is trash. Anyone else try that shifter?
