You're basing this statement on a big, very heavy, boxy and slab sided luxurious vehicle which in it's ICE version isn't the most efficient either and expensive opposed to looking at the vast choice of EVs sold worldwide before commenting. Remember when cars 1st appeared they were expensive and have evolved in efficiency over 100yrs. Airflight was expensive and range was limited. The mass produced EV industry is about 12yrs old and look how far the cars have evolved since the Leaf and Model S launched.

There are many affordable EVs, but you're on this video, not the other ones. Thats like going to a Land Rover video talking about affordable SUVs. Escalades have always been expensive.
It's new tech, it starts at the top of the market where the profit margins are largest and works its way down as it gets refined. Just like every other major technological innovation. It's wasteful cars like these that will fund the development of more economic cars coming later on

You're generally looking at 1.5 - 2.5 years of use for a EV (depending on size/efficiency) to have less emissions then an ICE counterpart, after which it is purely a net positive in emissions.

@@LeCrowTV name anywhere that actually recycles lithium batteries. it simply isnt worth the cost, and its still insanely hazardous. thankfully newer battery tech is gaining traction, but until its more common it still doesnt help
So this price range and the feature-set is basically if Cadillac made a Model X. The original pricing of the X was in the 120K range back in the day, the sizing is similar (not as tall as Escalade). As an X owner I can tell you nothing beats a proper Cadillac interior, and this is going to be a smooth, quiet af experience compared to the X. 0-60 in 5 is respectable for a house on wheels. This will be a home run, EZ sold out, backordered forever. Slap NACS on here and you have a Model X killer other than the Plaid trim in my opinion.
You point out how under very different interiors, the Escalade IQ is similar to the Hummer. The Hummer, even with the new SUV, might never be a big seller, and like the even more exclusive Celestiq vehicle seems to have been intended as a halo vehicle to enhance GM's brand image rather than become a significant source of revenue. But the Hummer was a down payment towards designing the Escalade IQ, which given Cadillac's track record with the combustion Escalade is gonna be a money spinner. On the other hand, the Hummer might still make a lot of money for GM Defense ... going full circle with its HumVee history. But this time GM will be selling more than a machine, it will be a platform for a variety of tech, constantly upgraded. Maybe even services delivered by a MIL-SPEC version of Ultifi over-the-air updates. What worries me is that CM still seems to be slow-walking the roll out of EVs. They sometimes attribute it to problems with supply and automation of battery production, but the pace of their transition is underwhelming, compared to Tesla or BYD and the rest of China Inc. And they are letting Ford and maybe Tesla get ahead of them in selling BEV pickups to consumers. We'll see if the pace picks up with the Blazer, Equinox and Silverado, and the promised new Bolt, but it looks like GM's reading of the market transition to BEVs is that it will be slower than the pace set by Tesla. If they are wrong, it will cost them. They will have squandered what looked like an early mover advantage, at least in mind share.
Looks like a beast!! Wish GM would shorten the nose, that's A LOT of wasted space for a frunk. I pretty much never use by frunk in my Model Y but would always like more space in the cabin. Should be a perfect option for luxury SUV customers and limo-style riders.
I think if the frunk was powered open/closed, it would get a lot more use for our Tesla, but I honestly just use it to store a gym bag when I'm done working out 😅
Cargo space is among the issues with SUVs, so the Escalade IQ's frunk might help if green-lit without reductions. For now, though, vans and station wagons are quite charitable with space. I recommend Not Just Bikes' video on SUVs to learn more about the cons.
@@yetiman3280..So you’re trying to tell us that your friends dad can’t handle or brake effectively in something like this but every so called soccer mom driving her kids to school or whatever can. Sounds like your friends dad cannot drive 😂
lol what? i said it takes a while to break and the breaking is weird cuz of a feature called smart braking or whatever, it detects the car infront of us and breaks according to that to get smooth braking but its a lil weird@@rlhmarines
curious about the third row and cargo area. looks smaller than the truck based ICE version. At $130k, I could buy a lot of gas for an $80k escalade...especially if I go diesel. Not sure if this makes as much $$ sense for livery vehicles as it does a statement.
Diesels emit toxic air pollution that is harmful to humans and the environment. Factor those costs in and the diesel version costs more. Also electric motors are more energy efficient.
@@JakeRichardsong business doesn't pay those costs. Until emissions are taxed in such a way, it doesn't hit the bottom line. And when you are competing at a very thin profit margin, you might add a few of these to a large fleet for green washing, but it won't transform the landscape
It's impressive. Now, they just need to make it. So many people are still waiting for their Lyriq more than a year after production started. Come on GM
@@WankidyNo one cares what you believe, but it is a fact that right before the Lyriq’s rollout the world experienced a global pandemic due to a deadly virus, not to mention a war involving the United Nations which is still taking place as I type this. These types of things will affect production of global manufacturers like *gm* because they get some of their materials from different places around the world. Not to mention the Lyriq was 9 months ahead of schedule as it wasn’t supposed to be here until late 2023. Y’all just need to use your brains and do a little of your own research. *gm* has another battery factory going online very soon as well which is what’s most crucial for the production ramp up of Ultium products.
@Wankidy Show me what the CEO and CFO have said something different recently, and I'll show you mine. What have the others said? Because my statement came directly from GM, sooooo.
Lol. It’s totally different here, the screen is only polarized from the driver when the Escalade is not in Park. Otherwise the driver can see the entire 55 inches of display as well. But y’all love to give Europeans credit for everything under the sun 😂
@@G-Rated That's not totally different, a polarised infotainment screen in a car is a polarised screen regardless of which driving mode your set in. Both are safety features to stop drivers getting distracted. Marques didn't go into which mode it works in just that he's never seen this feature before. Yes I am gonna big up the S-Class cause each new model has debuted innovation. lol at giving Europeans credit for everything under the sun. I think everyone agrees Ford was the master of the production line and I'm Black British of Jamaican decent so hell no to Europe getting credit for everything, more like Europeans assimilated certain stuff and didn't credit others for it.

In states with license plates on the front and rear, you need two different plate numbers. This is essentially two cars glued together.
That is a good NACS port location, hope they slighly hide the port in a light or something
That passenger polarized screen is actually there in quite a lot of luxury vehicles.
Range Rover had it 2 generations ago. Marques knows the broad EV strokes but doesn’t know that much about granular car tech like that
Wow! So eco friendly!
Better than a gas-powered vehicle or diesel that loses most of its energy to heat and produces toxic air pollution.
@@JakeRichardsong yes I agree but consumerism is what’s really killing the planet
So this price range and the feature-set is basically if Cadillac made a Model X. The original pricing of the X was in the 120K range back in the day, the sizing is similar (not as tall as Escalade). As an X owner I can tell you nothing beats a proper Cadillac interior, and this is going to be a smooth, quiet af experience compared to the X. 0-60 in 5 is respectable for a house on wheels. This will be a home run, EZ sold out, backordered forever. Slap NACS on here and you have a Model X killer other than the Plaid trim in my opinion.
5:30 Citroen e-C4 has a tablet holder for passenger, that has a polarized layer, and indeed, you can't see the screen from driver's seat. :)
Wow, 450 miles EPA on a 200+ kWH battery pack - impressive. That’s a whopping 2.25 miles per KWh and almost closing in on a Tesla Model X with 3.48
this is way bigger tho lol, built like fridge unlike the coupe suv model x
That’s a sweet ride. Excited for the suburban eventually
The Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, and Grand Wagoneer all have polarized passenger screens as well :)
I love it it'd 🔥
I would just get a black R1S
You point out how under very different interiors, the Escalade IQ is similar to the Hummer. The Hummer, even with the new SUV, might never be a big seller, and like the even more exclusive Celestiq vehicle seems to have been intended as a halo vehicle to enhance GM's brand image rather than become a significant source of revenue. But the Hummer was a down payment towards designing the Escalade IQ, which given Cadillac's track record with the combustion Escalade is gonna be a money spinner.
On the other hand, the Hummer might still make a lot of money for GM Defense ... going full circle with its HumVee history. But this time GM will be selling more than a machine, it will be a platform for a variety of tech, constantly upgraded. Maybe even services delivered by a MIL-SPEC version of Ultifi over-the-air updates.
What worries me is that CM still seems to be slow-walking the roll out of EVs. They sometimes attribute it to problems with supply and automation of battery production, but the pace of their transition is underwhelming, compared to Tesla or BYD and the rest of China Inc. And they are letting Ford and maybe Tesla get ahead of them in selling BEV pickups to consumers. We'll see if the pace picks up with the Blazer, Equinox and Silverado, and the promised new Bolt, but it looks like GM's reading of the market transition to BEVs is that it will be slower than the pace set by Tesla. If they are wrong, it will cost them. They will have squandered what looked like an early mover advantage, at least in mind share.
well played
Great job on the video Marques! Thanks for making it.
Just look at that pedestrian slaying grill. The amount of kids these things run over will be epic.
Can-yon-NEERRRRRROOOO
Looks like a beast!! Wish GM would shorten the nose, that's A LOT of wasted space for a frunk. I pretty much never use by frunk in my Model Y but would always like more space in the cabin. Should be a perfect option for luxury SUV customers and limo-style riders.
Never use my frunk only because of the closing implementation.
It’s not perfect for anyone
I think if the frunk was powered open/closed, it would get a lot more use for our Tesla, but I honestly just use it to store a gym bag when I'm done working out 😅
@@ChristopherOden isn’t it more convenient to just put it in the backseat
@@MaticTheProtoGym clothes stink. I use it for fish takeout.
Cargo space is among the issues with SUVs, so the Escalade IQ's frunk might help if green-lit without reductions. For now, though, vans and station wagons are quite charitable with space. I recommend Not Just Bikes' video on SUVs to learn more about the cons.
*e-trunk
my right ear really enjoyed this video
Just like the Hummer EV, this beast is gonna be IMPOSSIBLE to brake lol.
the normal escalade is quite scary to brake too haha my friends dad has it and i was driving it yesterday it takes a while to stop lol
As in, you're doing 50km/h (31mph), and you hit the brakes; How long does it take to stop?
@@yetiman3280..So you’re trying to tell us that your friends dad can’t handle or brake effectively in something like this but every so called soccer mom driving her kids to school or whatever can. Sounds like your friends dad cannot drive 😂
lol what? i said it takes a while to break and the breaking is weird cuz of a feature called smart braking or whatever, it detects the car infront of us and breaks according to that to get smooth braking but its a lil weird@@rlhmarines
curious about the third row and cargo area. looks smaller than the truck based ICE version. At $130k, I could buy a lot of gas for an $80k escalade...especially if I go diesel. Not sure if this makes as much $$ sense for livery vehicles as it does a statement.
Diesels emit toxic air pollution that is harmful to humans and the environment. Factor those costs in and the diesel version costs more. Also electric motors are more energy efficient.
@@JakeRichardsong business doesn't pay those costs. Until emissions are taxed in such a way, it doesn't hit the bottom line. And when you are competing at a very thin profit margin, you might add a few of these to a large fleet for green washing, but it won't transform the landscape
@@JakeRichardsong diesel isnt nearly as toxic as youd think. especially with all the current rules for them, they dont output much
Didn't realize how big the car was until he pointed out that is had 24 inch wheels, I thought they where 20 inch but the car is just huge
I ❤❤❤ my GMC Yukon AT4!!! I am hoping that this is a prelude to coming out with an electric AT4 within the next two years. I need 600 miles of range.
Actually the best looking Escalade they ever made.
Eh, big fan of the 2015-2016 personally.
@@coolioam8137 Same.
It's impressive. Now, they just need to make it. So many people are still waiting for their Lyriq more than a year after production started. Come on GM
They did have a slow rollout to ensure quality control, but have been ramping up production lately.
@@TheSuperSpeeder GM CFO and CEO are saying something different. Do I believe them or you? Read the news or watch it. Whatever tickles your fancy
I finally have mines
@@WankidyNo one cares what you believe, but it is a fact that right before the Lyriq’s rollout the world experienced a global pandemic due to a deadly virus, not to mention a war involving the United Nations which is still taking place as I type this. These types of things will affect production of global manufacturers like *gm* because they get some of their materials from different places around the world. Not to mention the Lyriq was 9 months ahead of schedule as it wasn’t supposed to be here until late 2023. Y’all just need to use your brains and do a little of your own research. *gm* has another battery factory going online very soon as well which is what’s most crucial for the production ramp up of Ultium products.
@Wankidy Show me what the CEO and CFO have said something different recently, and I'll show you mine. What have the others said? Because my statement came directly from GM, sooooo.
man that was fast
Back lights got piano keys look. Nice!
The front grill looks like a George Foreman electric grill
"It's like a Hummer EV, but for the city"
As a european, nothing - and I mean absolutely NOTHING about this car is for the city 😅
The hummer is a off road vehicle where as the Slade will be on soccer mom duty.
europeans have tiny lil cities anyway so it doesn't matter lol
American cities* lol We have strodes as far as the eye can see. Cars > pedestrians
Build bigger cities?😂
@@jamesengland7461 A bit difficult when some are thousands of years old!
The S-Class has the polarised screen, has had it since 2008, although the S-Class tends to have a lot of tech about a decade before most cars.
Lol. It’s totally different here, the screen is only polarized from the driver when the Escalade is not in Park. Otherwise the driver can see the entire 55 inches of display as well. But y’all love to give Europeans credit for everything under the sun 😂
@@G-Rated That's not totally different, a polarised infotainment screen in a car is a polarised screen regardless of which driving mode your set in. Both are safety features to stop drivers getting distracted. Marques didn't go into which mode it works in just that he's never seen this feature before. Yes I am gonna big up the S-Class cause each new model has debuted innovation.
lol at giving Europeans credit for everything under the sun. I think everyone agrees Ford was the master of the production line and I'm Black British of Jamaican decent so hell no to Europe getting credit for everything, more like Europeans assimilated certain stuff and didn't credit others for it.
Tire size is LT275/50r24 or just shy of 35" tall & 11" wide. You know this thing is big when it makes 35's look small, or at least proportionate!!
