Perfect price for the average driver…
The secret is to buy two of them. Charging one while driving the other one is the only way to make that logistic mess work.

They can’t even make a dependable one now, this will only be worse.
A friend has one, spent more time in the shop than my last 8 vehicles combined. What a POS.

Perfect, a good option for the rich virtue signalers.

You know they inflate that number for advertising purposes (just like they inflate gas mileage for ICEs) but I wonder how much. What is the real range? If is roughly 430, roughly 400? I’m sure it varies by temperature conditions, and how much weight you are carrying.

Yep. Pure status symbol like the regular Escalade


$20-30k more than say, a BMW X7 or Audi q8 but shitty build quality

It’ll eat tires very quickly with that weight, acceleration & heavy braking. Rivian truck owners are experiencing this now.

I think about all those reports of crumbling bridges and overpasses. They keep citing those and fussing about all the evil “giant trucks” but nobody mentions EVs.

Cadillac can’t put together an ICE vehicle without massive issues these days despite the cost.

I don’t see how an EV one is any better.

Escalade drivers have to pay for gas in cash but their electric bills are subsidized
