When the title of the thread is "Do you think Chevy will release something like this?" and this is a hype commercial, then yes, I think Chevy will do one as well. If it is reference to some EV muscle car, then show me the car. In essence, Dodge has show as much of their EV sports car as GM has. Both have said they are going to make one, but have nothing to show past that.

The clip was a fancy magic trick. They wanted to look in their left hand so you would never question what was under the handkerchief in their right hand.
Thing is, that was not a hype commercial. Some of it might eventually find its way into a commercial, but what that was was about 5 minutes out of a 2 or 3 hour Stellantis presentation to the media and shareholders. You had the head of Stellantis Performance, Tim Kuniskis, flat out state that in 2024 Dodge will introduce an electric muscle car. That’s like Elon Musk saying Tesla will build a pickup truck. You can choose to not believe him, but this is exactly what he told the shareholders and the assembled media. The only person who can legit tell him he won’t is Carlos Tavares, the CEO of Stellantis. The guy who’s pushing all of Stellantis towards EV.
