Cool. I need to buy 2 of these vehicles today, in case one of them has the ash trays full. And the financial monthly payments for 7 years would be what???????? Have to start playing PowerBall lottery!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!! Why is this vehicle so expensive???? It is a Cadillac, that's why. thanks for the video, take care.
I like the logic of Cadillac building an ultra-exclusive car to compete against the likes of Rolls Royce and Bentley... but I much prefer the design of the Escala concept. That thing was absolutely stunning. Wish Cadillac would've went with that design instead. This one is kind of love it or hate it. I personally don't like the hatchback. But EVERYBODY loved the Escala. It was one of the best-looking concepts ever created, in my opinion. Oh well... I can't afford one anyway... just would've been nice.
The Celestiq would’ve been much more successful if it had a V8, RWD and a true sedan body. Who would want to spend over $300,000 for an EV when they can buy a gas-powered car for less than that?
The Celistique is pretty awesome, for a large luxury car. GM needs to quickly ramp production of the Equinox EV and the redesigned Bolt, which will be their high-volume sellers.
It doesn’t look like a station wagon, it’s actually shaped like the SUX 6000 from the 1987 Robocop movie. They even got the I and L shaped brake lights in the back right! How much would you bet that this thing is a very clever troll of rich people by some GM designers? I’d buy that for a dollar!
I think you are missing the point of this vehicle. The people who are buying this aren’t looking for best stats. Just look at its competition the RR spectre doesn’t offer the same range or efficiency either. The people buying this want a showpiece car that will take them for reasonable distances in the most amount of luxury possible.
Talk about the WORST TIMING in automotive history!! Introduce a silly priced EV just as the whole market is collapsing. Porsche can’t give away Taycans Audi is giving $30,000 OFF Etrons BEFORE negotiating. What a stupid idea
My goodness, not to say that some arguments or concerns don't have some validity regarding affordability for a mass procuded low ,"affordable/acceptable" quality ev or any product, but it's always fascinating how people love to hate luxurious and ultra luxurious cars at its very mention. "If you curse the rich, you'll never be one of us."
Hand built by well-paid, middle class workers. Well done Shawn Fain, you have helped make cars unaffordable for the average working guy - only car workers can afford this...
With my preliminary understanding of marketing strategy, comparing this to competitors such as Rolls-Royce, I predict a horrible horrible outcome for this GM product.
Just get a Lucid which is better and cheaper. I like the sporty lines of the Celestiq just without the Celestiq itself. The rear 'tub' is interesting or at least it would be for people who want to bathe in their luxury car.
The Cadillac Escala looks 100x better and they decided not to build it but this Trash instead?! Fire Mary please because its obvious they have great designers but decided to use the trash designs from their worst design team!
They are using this car to test ultra cruise like they did the ct6 with super cruise, I will say Tesla FSD and even basic auto pilot is better, minus the steering wheel nag.
GM may be following in Tesla's footsteps ! Tesla's Masterplan 1 was to build an Expensive Sports car first, then with that money build the S and X cars, then with that money build the Normal run of cars ! Worked for Tesla ! GM are just a bit LATE that's all ! Have GM ordered their GIGAPRESS yet ?
@@rozonoemi9374 I am also surprised at Ford Pulling back on its EV's, considering they were the first to take the NACS opportunity, They need a Giga-Press !
SO,......the bolt is 250 mile range for about $31k.........this is 300 range for .$350k.................. its hand built, from some workers that are angry coming off a strike and they want you to buy this.........Gm make it make scenes ................lol.lol.lol.lol
If you were not trying to give backhanded compliments you would know the first year is already sold out. That's first. Second of all, the battery pack is ultimatium but it is structured different than other vehicles. The actual structure is also different. Not to mention it's customized with top grade materials. That does not make it exactly like the other vehicles. If you want to see that you would have to look for VW that then goes to Porsche that then goes to Lamborghini that then goes to Bentley. Why can't you all just report stories without trying to be nasty all the time. If you don't like American cars and you want to highlight European cars. Just say that and only report on those cars. So sick of trashy reviews
This is a fig leaf that covers GM's staggering failure in every other way around electric vehicle design, production and manufacturer. Why anybody would even consider spending this much money on a failing Legacy auto maker's product is beyond me.
Yeah, guess this was to be expected. With the existence of unions, the USA can't build $25k EV's, so lets build $300.000 EV's. Whats next $1.000.000 EV's? EV industry in the US is doomed.
GM Has completely lost their head. 🤦🏼 Inflation is through the roof, and the repossession of cars is at a thirty three year high ❕️ No clue what they are thinking. 🤷🏼♀️
True, but this car is not for the average Joe who gets a car on leasing. This is for the very well off customers, of which there are enough and aren't bothered significantly by inflation.
I agree with MotorScotti, Rolls-Royce had its best year to date. Somebody's earning more than enough to enjoy these vehicles, among other wonderful things, or else companies wouldn't build them. Supply and demand.
@@MotorScottiNothing about what they said was “true” it was bs. This is not *gm’s* answer to inflation and the average American needing a form of affordable & reliable transportation. That would be a Chevy Trax. General Motors is a global cooperation which means they’re large enough to multitask and tackle 2 completely separate tasks all at once. So the idea that *gm* has “lost their head” because they’ve decided to re-enter into a market they left years ago, would actually be *false.*
I remember the Cadillac 4-6-8 engine and how Cadillac screwed everybody with that bad engine. I’ll never trust them again. They stained the Cadillac name forever.
The same guy that designed the Pontiac Aztek designed this, job well done, good job Mary.
So the guy that designed Aztek is named Mary? Interesting
cadillac nailed it
Jim says demand increased 100%. It went from one to two
Only the broke *gm* haters were triggered by this news. 😬

Your video actually RAISED this car's profile in my mind. Style is growing on me, looks better than Lucid.
Double the price of a Lucid Air!
@@rozonoemi9374yeah but can you get a bespoke lucid with that much luxury, a quieter ride, more comfort, etc?
It's not even on the road yet, so how can you say it has a better ride?@@portcybertryx222

I think the escala influenced what the lyriq and celestiq are rn
@@portcybertryx222Correct. The Celestiq is the progression of the Escala from ICE to EV.
The Celestiq would’ve been much more successful if it had a V8, RWD and a true sedan body. Who would want to spend over $300,000 for an EV when they can buy a gas-powered car for less than that?

EV isn’t high volume.
I loved the style of the CTS Wagon. So 👍👍
love cadillac😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I would buy for sure, beautiful and it's a Cadillac, standard of the world again. Interestingly Escalade IQ, DOES 450 MILES

You could not pay me enough to drive this in my town…
Which town?
So, you have self esteeme!
Anywhere in coastal California is great! ⚡️🇺🇸
I’m sure Cadillac are crying into their pillows on the missed opportunity of not being able to pay you to drive the celestiq. Oh well, their loss.
For a bespoke car it’s amazing.

Nice
Handbuilt in Detroit is the best argument not to buy this car.
So how many cadiliacs u have ¿
Mary is pushing that 'Barro' again!!!!!
I like the Rolls Royce expensive car better. Lots of demand for expensive Cadilac? 2 cars, thats good & hope they fix the software!
Stupid is as stupid does… this will not save GM from imminent and inevitable bankruptcy
True
If i won the lottery, i would just take a taci or rent a car.
If you put me on the spot, I'd probably buy a VW buzz, because it is cool.
Cars for the stupid rich.
An EV land yaught
I'll be the next Lucid.😅
If it was a hearse I wouldn't be caught dead in it.
If I won the lottery I would buy a BMW i7 and keep the change.
Go for it GM
Hail mary

I’m buying the Bentley EV.
4680 Roadster for me
@@larryc1616 good choice
Hello mate
Like US luxury cars of the past, it can’t really cut it against true luxury.
They cannot get the EV Blazer right...This is a joke...

That is a clueless response. People are not cursing the rich people are attacking this as a waste of money. Completely different actually
The boyz in the hood will love this in black.
So would the Men in Black 😎
$300K for pouch cells and crappy software. It reminds me of the 6000 SUX.
Hand built by well-paid, middle class workers. Well done Shawn Fain, you have helped make cars unaffordable for the average working guy - only car workers can afford this...
I’m sure it’s a dream to drive but imagine having to go to a Wal-Mart to charge at EA lol.

Why does Tesla channels review other makers car.they are the only fans that does this.
@ 5 : 03 buy ten Tesla’s or one of these naw nah nah u tell me what u think……
GM apparently discontinued ultracruz
I would rather have a Mercedes EQS.
GM says a lot of things that aren't true, like their CEO is the best in the industry? Hahahahah
Lets call this car for what it is..."F-ugly"! GM is going to have a hard time giving this car to celebrities to promote it much less sell it.
I actually really like this car's design, beauty is subjective.

Nope
If this car is the best product that GM has to offer then they should be embarrassed as well as the folks that purchase this monstrosity
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely more of a Citroen look than a Rolls look. Personally I think it looks ugly and stupid, plus it's an EV!
This is a fig leaf that covers GM's staggering failure in every other way around electric vehicle design, production and manufacturer. Why anybody would even consider spending this much money on a failing Legacy auto maker's product is beyond me.
For 400k, one could buy one each of Tesla Models S, X, Y, 3 and the Cybertruck.
Any Cadillac over $150k is dead on arrival.

This is the ugliest car design since the 70's

If I won a huge lottery and Tesla was building this car? I'd buy it in a NY second!! GM? Not a chance! 😅
Recipe for disaster. Nobody wants EV...(Nobody wants GM EV)
Who TF's gonna buy this? 🤷♂️
Looks shIt cheers mate
Face it - it’s an ugly design flop. That rear looks like it was grafted on from another car, completely incongruous.
I’ll take a model S Plaid….. this thing is ugly as sin
Actually you could buy four Model S Plaids for the cost of this overweight, pretentious, piece of crap
I wouldn't buy this thing for $50k, much less $400k! Kind-a ugly....
Such a stupid looking car. Wow what a waste of battery’s. But some clowns will buy this monstrosity
That's about as ugly a car as I have seen!
What some garbage
Yeah demand is high from like barely a percent of the people smh that isn’t shit. Low demand on Evs that’s the sad ass truth
Just make a fuckin affordable car GM stop fuckin around enough is enough
