Master Chief is finally coming to streaming. The Halo TV show will premiere on March 24 on Paramount Plus, according to a trailer released on Sunday. There is genuinely a lot going on in the two-minute look at the series, as we get our first look at “humanity’s best weapon” (aka Master Chief and the Spartans), along with the gear that the super-soldiers use to save the world.

There’s a lot we might have taken for granted — the Pelicans, the trusty Warthogs in their various models. But it also turns out these vehicles of the future include a 2001 Chevy Tahoe, which is viewable at a few points in the trailer, notably during a bit where Master Chief is walloping a beefy looking Elite. Redditors have pointed out the fact, which has led to lively discussion on the matter:

Obviously, shows often take liberties with their source material. They are also, of course, made by human people who own real cars, and might use those as props (however purposefully). But it’s amusing to imagine the Chevy Tahoe being a vehicle of choice, 500-plus years in the future, in a world full of futuristic alien technology.

The Halo TV series will loosely follow events of the games, in what 343 Industries calls the “Silver timeline.” Judging by the trailer, a lot is changed; there are multiple Spartans alive in roughly the time period of the first game, and Master Chief apparently discovered the Halo ring, rather than just encountering it.

So hear me out: maybe the 2001 Chevy Tahoe is the car of the future? It makes some kind of sense when you think about Halo’s
