      BINGO! You said it best! These losers think it’s the “near” future but it’s more like 20-23 years away still. Most people, like 70% are poor in America and most people live in APARTMENTS!!!!!

      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.

    So these will flow in MSRP from between $130,000 & $168,000 ~ but - will that be sufficient for the dealers once they get their hands on them!? On the current new body Escalade- there are dealers still adding $10,000 to $25,000 ‘’market adjustment ‘’ onto the MSRP just because… Plus - the $155,000 Escalade - V = $50,000 “market adjustment,’’ equaling over $200,000 + Add in the newly increased cost warranty: $6,500+, plus Tax, license, wheel protection, maintenance package, and everything else - and those buying the new Escalade-V are spending quarter million. All that being said - so how much of a ‘’Market Adjustment,’’ will these E.IQ’s fetch!? I mean seriously- the median IQ price MSRP will be $150,000 - does this mean $30K + adjustment, another $25K in taxes, license, record breaking extra warranty costs and everything else!? Another $205,000 + Escalade? We’re starting to approach an entry level Bentley here folks. The super wealthy couldn’t care less. What about the guy who’s saved for 10 years for the down payment and has always wanted a new Cadillac. = SOL…. #Reality2024

    Tesla being the only manufacturer with a reliable charging infrastructure, I'm not touching another brand like Cadillac unless #1 they implement the North American Charging (NACs) plug, #2 they support charging at Tesla chargers. Second would be I'm not buying another $140k Electric car new when the depreciation is 50%, and crazy price reductions, along with high insurance costs due to poor reparability even in minor accidents. Range has to be at that 450+ mil real world, none of this 250-330mi range nonsense on perfect sunny day with no extra 'draw' from other car features. I would have to experience the infotainment's operation system too, for responsiveness, how how they do their navigation and mapping. Love the SUV otherwise, very cool setup.

Keeps the combustion engine but burns clean. Win win.

      @CharlesV27 When you put the map on Google it will say the same thing to the Toyota Yaris on your side and it will arrive at the same time as you with all the torque and speed you have... if the trip is from state to state it will arrive much faster than you and if you want to go On a track you will only be 4 or 5 seconds faster...does that make sense? O want to hear your answer.

    • @petes7401
      @petes7401 10 місяців тому +1

      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. Just know what the limits are before you purchase.

      $130k is just insane. I bought a 60k truck and after a few months the thought set in on why the heck did I spend so much on a truck, sold it and got myself a working van. Many people don't realize how much a car actually is until they have to make that monthly payment. I didn't either until that happened, plus the depreciation. Ohh heck no.

      @@Top5Depot well maybe you enjoy sitting at an electrical box for an hour plus just to get maybe a half charge. So imagine on a road trip 1000 miles, you’re gonna have to stop 3+ times for 3 to 5 hours in total. And it ain’t no Tesla with the fast charging, or imagine pulling up to a charger that is a fast charger and it doesn’t work. Oh, and by the way, I think the statistics are 40% of the chargers are broken on a daily basis.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@FJB_2024TRUMP Boy this is just so wrong it’s sad. 100 mile charge in 10 minutes. So for a 1,000 mile road trip you’d spend 60 minutes charging total (450 mile initial range plus 6 charging session from fully depleted to 100 miles). Or you could choose to charge more per session if you felt like stopping less times. If you charged to 80% it would only take two charging stops. And there is DC fast charging for non-Tesla EVs. Not quite as fast as Tesla supercharger but still pretty fast. Shocking a Trumper would misrepresent the facts on electric vehicles 😉.
