@flykix2117 3 ай бұрын

250* real world with passengers and using all the electronics in the car. Don't even bring in towing yet. Don't be fooled by that 450. That's with one driver, driving in temperatures neither hot or cold. No need for air conditioning or heat. Radio off and nothing else probably on. Traveling at a very specific speed most likely under 70 the whole time on a highway.

That’s how capitalism works. I see ICE Escalades all over my area, along with $70k Grand Cherokees and $50k pickup trucks. So long as there’s someone willing to buy them, good for the car makers to sell them. I haven’t purchased a brand new car in decades because I prefer to let someone else to take the depreciation hit. Once people decide that a $1000 or seven year car note is insane, the makers will adjust…hopefully…or they will need another govt bailout which ironically is anti-capitalism.

The range is pretty accurate unless it’s bitter cold. Temps in the teens to the mid 20’s. Once the temp is in the 30’s and 40’s the range is fine. It does use more mileage if you drive it harder. Like quick takeoffs. I haven’t had the car in extreme heat yet so I can’t say. It’s definitely not for everyone. Not a great car to go away with, in the winter anyways. The car is definitely a Caddy. You can feel the weight when you drive it. I happen to like that. Overall I have no buyers remorse at all. But, I did do a ton of research before I bought the car.
