its just like the silverado and tahoe make NO SENSE WHAT SO EVER.
In order for the math to work out, gas prices need to go up. Powerful electric motors are not free. Neither are any of the other components that get added to make a hybrid a hybrid. Adding $6000 worth of stuff, then pricing it at only $3000 more just isn't a smart business move.
