Default First true photos of e-ray revealed

Another forum member who prefers to remain anonymous has the E-Ray scoop of the century. Irritated at how long his C8 has remained in QC hold, he was given a skunk-works C8 for the day to try out. Though identical to the Stingray, the unavoidable giveway is the charging station on the wall, amateurly disguised as The Fish (ie the stingray logo).

His report: when you keep the pedal mashed it never goes into electric mode anyway….

With the mid engine GM has chosen to add the split window look to the front of the car as an intentional salute to it’s corvette heritage. Full charge takes only 8 mins as well. Lookin good to
these 👀. Is it still April 1?

Is it still April fools day?

I don't think there's a snowballs chance in you know where that GM is going to let an outside buyer even see an e-Ray, much less drive one. There's nothing in the photo that indicates it's a hybrid. I can park my Stingray in front of a car charger - that doesn't make it an e-ray.

Was this supposed to be a joke?

You may be the world’s most literal guy, DSOM, but Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic is still the best Corvette color ever made. Apparently it will be the signature color on the E-Ray…you know…sunrise…solar…electric…ah, what’s the point.

Of course my friend. Did you see the April fools referral as well as the laughing Emojis in the previous response. You mean we got you even after those two disclaimers. We have a bridge for sale. It’s good to 😂 😂 have a good weekend.[/QUOTE]

A true E-Ray has to be DSOM in order to obtain the 8 minute charge rate. It has something to do with the gamma ray crotchet pan gauge. All other colors take over 4 hours to fully charge. 😂😂😂

Definitely off by a week but like the battery charger angle. Sorry thought CF would find it a bit humorous no harm meant. Go figure!

Creative thoughts to come up with that - but yea, would have been a better thread a week ago.

Definitely your opinion and a good thing if it were a week ago. I’m good just take it off it is offensive but bird67 needs to speak for himself.

And how do we know if the C8 E-RAY is a plug in?

Humor has no timetable, VJ. Actually, it does, but we didn’t see the picture until yesterday…

And, it turns out it’s NOT going to be called the E-Ray. If you look at the wall charger more criticallly…behold the E-Horseshoe Crab.

Default Laugh

When is a good natured laugh pertaining to everyone’s favorite hobby a week late? Bird’s horseshoe crab is right on target. I heard the E-Ray is going to be measured in HSC power anyway. 😂
