It looks great inside and out, I just hope GM can actually build 'em. - Craig

It has air suspension with Arrival Mode similar to Hummer's Crab Walk.

Compared to what? Its German rivals?

They put so much battery in it, till the desired range been achieved, that’s why it’s so heavy:)

It looks like there's a central control dial and a physical volume knob, but other than that, most of the remaining controls appear to be digital. - Craig

@@craigcole5497 Well, poopie! I guess I will never understand why OEM's keep believing that making simple functions more complex, is a good idea. I 'get' that putting a screen in there is cheaper than running multiple wires and switches around the vehicle, but what happens when there's a dead spot on the screen? And I'm sure that has happened. Now you have to buy a new screen for large dollars - and it's something that in time they will discontinue. It's hard to imagine the likelihood of any of these new technical marvels being marginally functional as a vintage car. And operationally, it just feels like the old days of PC's vs Macs. When you needed something done on a Mac, you just did it. It just happened. But doing the same thing with a PC came with a smug comment from your PC-fan friend. "Oh, ya, it can do that. All's you godda do is......." 🙄 And then a rambling explanation would go on for 4 steps more than it should. LOL!! Oh well. I'll step off my soapbox now. But I'll do it carefully. At my age, I wouldn't want to step wrong and put my back out. Now get off my lawn! LOL!!

​@@davidfoley8329stop living in the past, knobs don't exude luxury, but if you want knobs they still have the gas powered Escalade on sale.

This is the real issue. Unfortunately, I think it's safe to say GM's Ultium launch has, to date, been a disaster. - Craig

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@craigcole5497i think that’s just the way their naysayers & *haters* would like to remember Ultium. The reality is _Ultium_ has been such a success, it even got *gm’s* competitors like Honda onboard wanting their very own EVs to be built upon the same platform as *gm* fully electric offerings. And Honda could’ve went to anyone! But y’all don’t ever discuss _this._ Lol. Unlike Stellantis and Ford concepts, the Hummer EV twins (and ALL Ultium products) have come to production exactly as they were revealed in pre-production form and even beat the Tesla Cybertruck to market by 2+ years. The Silverado EV and Cadillac Escalade _IQ_ are now the benchmarks of their segments, boasting 450 miles of range and up to 350 kWh charging speeds. But we’re supposed to believe their launch is disastrous? *gm* has already figured out how to produce EVs, they’re waiting on battery plants to go online to go into full production. Again, unlike Ford or Tesla, their EVs are built upon their bespoke EV platform not shared with *gm’s* gasoline models to save money.

The website says "UP TO 100 MILES OF RANGE* IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF CHARGING TIME AT PUBLIC STATIONS" but I am assuming thats at 350kw charging, which is not common to find.

@@PopsGG By the end of year Escalade IQ will be able to charge at 250 kW at ubiquitous and reliable Tesla Superchargers when on road trips. Most owners will charge to 80/90% overnight at home while sleeping for daily drives.

@@CMCNestT Well if you can get even 400 mi range charging should be once a week or more. I wouldn't expect too many people to be using this as a daily driver. I certainly wouldn't. On the other hand, if its used to tow a boat, then expect to divide the range by 2.

@@PopsGG If you can find the chargers. Which you can't.

A fine choice, indeed! - Craig

This is no less a monster.

NO it isn’t. You’ve heard absolutely nobody from Cadillac to pronounce it that way. It’s the Escalade _IQ._

Souless, this truck isn't even on the market yet, so how exactly is it souless? It's 2024, it's ok to start moving into the future, but I'm assuming you haven't been alive long enough to understand that concept yet.

Good thing you can buy a Lexus then.

So could you name the Cadillac that’s more of a Cadillac than the Escalade _IQ?_ Which model is more grand, more luxurious, more technologically advanced, and makes an owner’s life more effortless than this truck?

@@G-Rated You seem to have an odd definition for iconic. Iconic is something uniquely stylish and instantly recognizable. Take a look at a 1959 Biarritz sometime.

Wrong. The introduction of an EV (especially one with crab walk) IS absolutely iconic.

GM hasn’t said yet. Depends on when it actually hits dealerships.

A little early to make the comment, don't you think?

People were buying the competition.

There are plenty of LYRIQs at the dealerships now especially at the standalone stores.

You sound so confused. It’s not a brand worthy of asking the prices they’re asking for this model because of a LM alleged reputation of horrible resale value and quality, yet you’re trying to buy one? MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE. Let’s be honest with ourselves here, you’re going with a Lexus LX solely because it’s less money and ONLY because of a reputation for “good resale value”. Can you show me in the market where 2021 Lexus LX are holding their resale value substantially better than 2021 Escalades? I literally see 2022 LX 600 Premiums which go for over $100k easily brand new currently listed for $89k today. Lost over $10,000 in value in less than 24 months, they aren’t much better at all. Reputation keeps them afloat. It’s called Japanese propaganda, and it’s ALL in your heads, boys. 🤦🏽‍♂️
