" It drives like a Cadillac should.

    I'm not a fan of Cadillacs (recent ones anyways) but I like this a lot. And a great interview. I like the nod to the EV-1 as I worked for the company that made the battery pack, Ovonic. Jay mentions the success of the Prius. There was a huge lawsuit between Ovonic and Toyota over tech designs of the NiMH battery that was used in the development of the Prius. The court finally decided upon a Solomonesque judgement in the form of a tech sharing arrangement. Ovonic turned down the opportunity to gain Toyotas knowledge out of sheer arrogance. Guess which company is still around? Ovonic went on to become Cobasys which went on to become Bosch Battery Systems, producer of the battery pack for many ill fated cars including the Fiat 500e. Bosch closed the plant in 2019.

      The EV1 was by all accounts a success for the intended lower range leased commuter car, it was almost too successful a trial and that's why it was killed off. It put back the domestic industry for 10+ years until Tesla gave them the wake up call kick un the pants they needed.

      Exactly. Cadillacs used to be status symbols. They used to be the american equivalent of a Mercedes S class. The interiors on their old cars were probably the best in the world. Then at one point they started to cheap out and stopped innovating. Their interiors were full of ugly plastic and they still tried to market themselves as a luxury brand. Younger people dont view Cadillac as a luxury brand now

      Most of my driving is in thickly settled areas where you really can't drive too fast safely, so trucks are nice because they look good just going slow. If you're in a fast car going slow you just look deprived out there.

      I think it’s would be much better to have a truck and a Ferrari then try and combine them in one vehicle. Sure you can have a luxury truck that could also be used for carrying cargo or a luxury SUV that has more carrying room then a standard sedan. But if your the type of person who needs a truck but also wants and can afford a Ferrari then you problem can afford to have both. Most Ferrari lovers probably don’t need to own both and can rent a truck if they ever needed one for some special occasion. How many people really want and/or need a vehicle that performs like a Ferrari but also has a larger carrying capacity like a truck. Is there really much of a market for a Ferrari SUV or Ferrari Truck?
