I gotta say though, one thing they need to improve with EV marketing on their website is making the different trims/motor packages actually seem different and exciting. I still to this day do not not what makes the Blazer EV SS better performance wise then the regular trims besides bit more range.
It's way easier to get excited for different engines with different configurations (i4, V6, V8) then a choice between "Electric drivetrain 1" and "Electric drivetrain 2".
Maybe at least some 0-60 times? HP figures? I get it's not supposed to be a sports car, even me shopping for a regular lame-o DD likes to look at the options. Besides, if you're gonna call it an SS I want to know these things (I'm sure it is faster, but they aren't marketing it that way at all).

Basically, it has a different, more powerful front motor than the RS. Actually, the rear motor might also be more powerful. Anyway, this is probably the best spec write-up I've seen on the Blazer EV SS.

The advantage that GM has over Ford and Stellantis in having released so many EV models already and building a lot of volume is that they are much further down the cost curve and can offer more reasonable pricing. Remember in an earlier post I noted that GM says they are profitable on a variable cost basis with all their EVs? Also remember when I said the Jeep Wagoneer S is being priced at $70k? Well the Blazer SS is coming in at $62k.

It will do 0-60 in 3.4s. Not that I expect to spend a lot of time launching something that big at lights, but with that kind of performance, it lines up well with the likes of a Durango SRT or F150 Raptor. At significantly lower price than either of them. It actually compares very favorably to a Tesla Model Y Performance.

Model Y Performance: $51,490 277 mile range; 0-60 in 3.5s
Blazer EV SS: $61,995 290 mile range; 0-60 in 3.4s
Durango SRT Hellcat: $115,000 0-60 3.5s
Durango SRT 392: $ 84,830 0-60 4.4s
F150 Raptor R: $109,145 0-60 3.6s

So with the Model Y-P or Blazer EV SS you can get Durango SRT Hellcat or Raptor R performance and have enough left over to by a daily driver. So much for EVs being crazy expensive.
