130K starting while showing the 175K version. Makes the R1S look like quite the bargain!!

I can't wait to see what they charge for the highest end IQL.

" you can engage Velocity Max and hit 60 mph in less than five seconds. " Why so slow though?

GM: “We’re gonna put 200kwh batteries and big screens and crab walk, and make it $170k.”

Consumers: pass

I'm really starting to wonder how big the market for > $100k EVs is today. I can't figure out what would make this worth nearly $100,000 more than the base R1S other than "look at me I have money".

But it has this...

AVAILABLE CADILLAC ARRIVAL MODE*
SHOW UP IN STYLE AND BASK IN THE ACCOLADES

Don't know WTF it is... BUT THE ACCOLADES!!!

Yeah, another vehicle they won’t be able to make.

What is the deal with GM lately? Do they somehow think making daily new product announcements (that we all know will probably never make to meaningful production) will buy them some credibility? To the contrary, it just makes them look foolish and untrustworthy like their infamous 2017 "promise" of 20 new EV's by 2023!

They have names of Lyriq and Celestiq so why not Escaladiq? Just said it out loud. Never mind.

I'm rolling with my 'Diq tonight.

Just be sure to use protection!

PPF, that is.

I know this thread is about the Escaladiq, but am I the only one who found the Celestiq to be ugly AF? I usually like the design of most cadillac vehicles but that thing....oof.

 

[Chewy734]

Well, it does have revolutionary features like the eTrunk.

I think Cadillac's design language for their EVs already feels dated. It's just not a big enough departure from their ICE design.

I agree with that. I figure some folks might actually like that it doesn't look much different, but it does feel dated already.

Hmm.....It seems that someone forgot to tell the Escalade IQ team that as a 2025 model it will (in theory) have a NACS charge port.
