Why do manufacturers think that everyone who wants an EV also wants to be broiled in the summer sun? Those panoramic glass roofs are cool, but give us a retractable shade or a way to darken it electronically.
You make a really good point! While panoramic glass roofs look amazing, they can turn your car into an unintentional greenhouse. The "high tint" will help. A retractable shade or electronic darkening option would be a game-changer, giving us the best of both worlds - sunshine when we want it and shade when we need it. Let's hope manufacturers start thinking about that too!
The option to fully darken either digitally or physically should be part of the EV tax rebates. No sense having a solar heater stuck on high.
Agreed!
Thank Tesla. Depends on where you live. But what you say is absolutely true in all the biggest markets: CA, FL,TX.
The problem with electric vehicle is because the battery is in the floor… the floor is more higher than a regular vehicle… so that why the put a glass in the roof so th occupants have more headroom
Roman, you are absolutely amazing for buying a test one, and taking it to Moab to see what its got. I can't wait for that video :)
The curb weight of this thing is supposed to be 8,500 lbs. For reference the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado was "only" 5,060 lbs. However, it's a very nice vehicle and Cadillac did a great job with the styling and features. This is something the EV market really needs to get more folks to go electric.
Doesn't look very aerodynamic, either. Gonna be an electron guzzler, hopefully better than the Hummer's 1.6ish mi/kwh.
@@mile_high_topher Might be an eco mode for road trips buy yeah, can't expect much.
EV aren't all good an that is their greatest Achilles heel. They start heavy and stay heavy.
@@krane15 Solid state batteries will largely fix that problem.
RIP roads
looks good. many concerned about the price likely don't realize the ICE Escalade and Lincoln Navigator models have already been selling in the $90,000 to $100,000 price range back in 2018/2019 thus BEFORE the Global Pandemic.
Don’t mind $90k-$100k for that but $130k ooof
@@williamerazo3921 Bill, Mark Reuss and Mary Barra says you will pay the $30k premium AND LIKE IT...!!!😄 now quick, call your local dealer.
@@williamerazo3921 Probably the base price, too.
130k...plus Markups, well, we know where this is going
Yes, these LUX SUVs are expensive!
Omg this is insane. It looks so futuristic and beautiful but I still prefer the current Sport Platinum look🤷♂️
Current tail lights look better
This will look outdated the day Cadillac starts deliveries.
The design team needs to look back in the history and create a modern version of those timeless designs.
@@srikarreddy5714 absolutely have lost your mind. This is not the Kia ev9.
@@srikarreddy5714 You're crazy! This is a vehicle of its time. In the future people will go gaga over this due to it oozing classic 2020s
Take all my money!! 🤑 Cause that's what it will cost 🤣
You have to save the economy!Buy buy buy!
Dream car, maybe?
It's one of those cars that if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.
Ix m60 much better choice,it weighs 9000 lbs which is very unefficient for an ev,i hope they will replace the battery with 100kwh capacity catl condensed battery that only weighs 230 kg with 3 times more energy density in structural pack,this 212kwh old battery pack weighs 1278 kg on itself😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
450 miles of range, finally. Huge ultrawide screen. Luxurious interior. This Escalade iQ will be a hot seller.
Not for a starting 130k price tag! Hot selling in low low volume!
@@JonathanRootD how many Escalades are they selling right now? Considering this thing will cost 3-4 times cheaper to operate vs gas model.
450 miles on huge battery that will cost the equivalent to charge as an ICE Escalade. At 90% charge 405. Range loss above 70 mph,you’ll get roughly 320 miles.
@@lrod8692 these wont be really driven all that much on the highway. This will be for driving business people around a city. The 450 miles will just be for that one day a month where they need to drive more. For the most part these will never see more than 100 miles. Plugging in to a 22 kw charger at the office for a few hours a day will keep it charged for their daily use.
@@lrod8692 fully charged Tesla battery overnight is around 4 dollars in my area. This will be double, so maybe 10 dollars. I don’t know where you live, but you clearly have no idea. Range loss? Do you live in northern Canada?
The I for electric vehicles is so damn tired. proud of andre for keeping a straight face while saying minimalist right after saying a vehicle had a 55" screen.
Well, they removed nearly all buttons and knobs. So minimalist design.
Go buy a buick or an oldsmobile
You should have stopped by Fitzgerald Cadillac in Frederick, they had 3 Lyrics parked in their lot on Monday.
This Escalade is a world masterpiece with all means! I am so proud that I work at General Motor company
Waitlists and huge market adjustments for 6-12 months, then big incentives and resale freefall pretty soon after.
Bingo. 👍🏻 wait until the nacs port is inc standard in 2025 as well.
Looks good. I had originally ordered the Lyric but cancelled because of the long wait time. Purchased the Tesla Model Y and I am enjoying it, almost 40k miles and no issues. I will look at GM again if they ever get their production ramped up and can put out a stable and reliable car and battery.
You’ll be waiting for the remainder of your life.
Got a Rivian, also enjoying it. Not sure if it can replace my suburban though, and I have to drive 2+ hours for service. Will be waiting for news of a Suburban EV after this.
@@zellodavis8453 GM won’t survive long enough to make a suburban EV
Tesla is a cheap toy compared to this superior SUV
GM has a major advantage: CEO is not a racist, bigoted, homophobic, antisemitic person.
Wonder what it will actually cost when it is released as they missed their price point on the blazer and silverado ev
The Equinox is almost guaranteed to not make their 30k price point either.
I hear you - pricing can be a bit unpredictable. Sometimes those initial estimates don't quite match the final numbers. Hopefully, they'll get it right this time with the ESCALADE IQ. Fingers crossed for a pleasant surprise! 🤞🤑
It starts at 130K
@@AutomotiveWoman Taillights look terrible. It should have been like a large A or upside down U
I'd say about $257,000 not much more.
I LOLd when he said “a minimalist approach”.
Man it's quite impressive
Props to the photographer, and Andre. Nice video.
Good luck with the twelve month timeline
Ugly monstrous thing. Not sure the gangs are going to dig this EV. Need to find the hoods that buy for the cartel and find out if it is really going to be a good go to choice for their fleets. Does not scream spinners and low profile tires with glossy chrome wheels. Nor am I sure if all that weight added when they put in the bullet proofing doors and windows is going to do much for the EV range. 🤣
1:24 - Andre LIKE A BOSS...!!!
Oooh yea!
What an incredible video!! You knocked this completely out of the park! This is an incredible vehicle and the screens… 😮
Keep up the incredible work!!👍
Incredible. Incredible. Incredible.
they nailed the design, looks cool
Cadillac was in their bag with this one . This is what the ICE Escalade should’ve looked like . Hopefully the updated one gets this interior
Is it a huge next step.
I personally prefer the ICEs exterior but that interior is light years ahead. And I like EVs so this is a great car.
@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690agree the current exteriors are better but this interior is next level.
“Building massive, unaffordable EV’s at a loss that 99% of EV buyers don’t want and only 1% can afford.” This will be the first chapter at a business school analyzing what doomed GM and why the went out of business.
This is actually profitable for them. GM said that their EVs under 40k are unprofitable.
Would believe there was a time when only well to do people could afford a TV? Today even poor people own more than one. Ever hear of trickle down? Everything new starts off unaffordable to the working-class until it reaches mass production. That said, there already are some very affordable EV for sale like the Chevy Bolt, and even Tesla just has a massive price drop.
Hi, 450 miles range is a high amount of ratio for this Cadillac Escalade designed very well and looks so beautiful the two electric motors are equipped with frunk and tail area power goes by 750 hp and 615 pound-feet of torque all-wheel drive upscale interior and also seats are very comfortable but the price is up to 100 thanks
All EV manufactures overestimate their range, and I don't expect Cadillac to be any different. I'm guessing may 380 in the real world, but that still well ahead of the 300 mi. acceptable EV range. Divide by 2 for towing
Be prepared to pay $100,000+
Starts at $130K if you watched the video. So for that price, you won't even get the stuff shown, or the top range. Expect over $150K.
they already are for escalades.
Good look getting an ICE Escalade for under $100k even with dealer markups.
@@kahless0173 re: "they already are for escalades." yup, ICE world's already been paying this for Escalades and Yukon Denalis.
Yup 🤷♂️. No tax credit either unless the weight vehicle tax cut
THIS IS HUGE!!!
I would like a few buttons or knobs for the stuff we use a lot like ac. Also a cover for the sunroof.
Canceling my Rivian R1S preorder because 300 mine range gives me major anxiety. This Cadillac looks amazing.
THIS IS THE EV I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Great intro to an awsome car.
Great video mate
Thank you for watching!
I was all in until I saw the price.. if it was even 100k, I would have gotten it. I have a Rivian R1S that I am getting in a month, and I would have gladly canceled that to get this. But 130k is probably for their base model, with it probably going up to 150-160 to get top of the line and getting all that range.
Maybe more? Plus dealer markups for the first year or so no doubt. And the first model's won't ship with nacs ports?
So the first year could be a bust until nacs is standard in 2025. This sucker is gonna need a LOT of high power chargers. 😀
r1S is gonna be fun and practical (also 30k to 40k$ less) , escalade is gonna be comfy and luxurious.
@@4literv6 Yeah that's absolutely true. Dealer markups are going to be insane.. The battery pack is over 200Kw.. I was stressing up the Rivian 135 .. I can't even imagine how much it'll be to charge this SUV haha
@@battousaihimura So true!
@@jambaman916 well this is actually rated for better efficiency than the rivians are. 2.4 miles per kwh or 75+mpge.
I ran the numbers and for the average homeowner with a 35-40 mile commute daily? This will cost them a paltry $3-$4 to recharge it daily, more in some crazy high rate states like Cali or Seattle but still only about $6 a day or less.
I could drive it for 900-1,000 miles a month for FREE because my emc not only has super low rates, the best reliability in the nation and over 55% of all energy from nuclear and renewables. But it also gives me 400kwhs of energy to charge an ev with from 11pm-6am daily.
The dude who runs our emc is a trip to. He owns a plaid model s, installed enough ev chargers for all his employees to use at the hq free.
Added 4 more for guests to use out front for FREE.
Put up a solar&bess system which has already paid itself back in less than 30 month's.
Introduced a $250 member incentive to install a home ev charger, introduced the 400kwhs free to charge an ev monthly with.
And he's over seen the most profitable time ever with each year he's been running it we get member dividends back. Now tracking for 75%+of all our generated energy coming from nuclear and renewables by 2027 or even sooner. Yet folks tell me this just can't be done. 😂
And I live in the literal ass backwards state of Georgia to boot. With more swamp ass rednecks, humidity to kill the amazon with and more mosquitos per sq mile than any state not named Florida. 😀
It's as long as the ESV, with a 30" legroom 3rd row?
All 200 that GM produce are gonna be awesome! 😂
How does it do in cold weather? I’ve seen recently the teslas got stranded in the cold weather. Batteries died out
As they’ve already done with the *Lyriq* and *Celestiq* I’m expecting _Cadillac_ to put the world on notice again! 😎🔥
until Cadillac goes back to be a real luxury vehicle again i wont event look at em. im talking 70's caddy quality materials. Real wood inserts real chrome, seats so big and comfy you can sleep on em. The kind of cars that wont get you some where fast but you enjoy the ride and not feel the grand canyon of pot holes if you roll over one.
@@Sourman1545that's what the Celestiq is gonna do don't worry! Id say the 70s was probably when it started dropping in quality but before then it was considered the best out there
Absolutely, you're spot on! Just like with the Lyriq and Celestiq, Cadillac has a history of making bold statements. The ESCALADE IQ is no exception. I think t's redefining what an electric SUV can be. The sleek design, impressive range, and cutting-edge tech all come together to make a statement that's hard to ignore.
@@Sourman1545
So you're a nostalgia-head who'd rather Cadillac be a stagnate retro brand??? Yeah that sounds like the future to me 🙄
Ain’t gonna happen. The price range is out of 99% of buyers. They are having problems ramping. Losing on every sale. Horrible range per killowatt. Hummer isn’t even selling. Lyric is a piece of junk that rattles and squeaks.
It’s a niche player If the brand can even survive 5 years longer. Only chance is chauffeur orders and hotel. By then we will have robots driving us around in cheaper teslas
I would just sell my house and live in a escalade ! Cadillac nailed it !
Problem solved. And people make it seem like the price is so complicated.
In typical Cadillac/GM fashion let’s see how much crap we can install in this beast to price out out of all but a few people. I can’t wait to see all the electrical gremlins that will pop up with this one..40 speakers?? WTF?
Add to my collection
How many will they make and how much over MSRP will it cost.
Nice ride❤❤
The large glass roof should be solar powered to charge while it sits parked
Good one!
What a beautiful Suv. Shame most people will never be able to afford one.
Cadillac nailed it!
For a big car like this plugin hybrid way to go. Perfect fit. Like 50 mile mpge
This thing has over 400 miles range
Govt: CAN'T DRIVE WITH PHONE IN HAND
Escalade: HOLD MY BEER
What happened to the flush door handles that was promised???? Going to have to modify then!
I would move in and live in this.
If you have one in California it would become the law it has to be plugged into the grid during brownouts, that you becoming a spare battery for the Township.
Andrey calling this skateboard architecture EV a "truck" is gold. Can't wait til he gets his hands on the Cybertruck
Can't wait to rent this at Enterprise Exotics
Oh boy,I'm thrilled 😕😕😕
Looks great an I live in the UK so it's a bit big lol
Was hopping to afford an Escalade V in 5-6 years and now it feels like I have to wait for this one. Too much money
🤔...rocking the playboy music 🎶
Wow. Crazy..2025' models already..
Price high and produce less to target a better margin vector 🤔. After a couple years Lucid is losing over $500k pet unit sold. I hate to hear what the losses will be on this and the Celestiq.
Since they don't break down their EV margins, we'll never know 🤷🏽♂️
@bugguy1967 very true. We can guess they ain't pretty.
Well, i guess that all can i say is WOW! Of Course thers is no perfect car, SUV or Truck, but still, this deserves a WOW from me.
Finally, an esclade that doesn't sound like an airplane engine🙏
Just 3 days ago I test drove a Platinum sport. The place that is selling it does vehicle conversions and they buy these Escalades from auctions. This particular one is used and has 1300 miles, so basically new. They put 24 inch wheels on it. They don't look good ( my personal opinion ) and they ride terrible. You feel every single imperfection on the road. I imagine these will give you the same type of ride, but if you like that sort of thing I guess you'll be riding in style, maybe not so much comfort. It looks beautiful, but I would be concerned about charging it. Recently a couple took their Hummer ( electric ) on a road trip. They weren't going too far from their home but they could not find chargers that worked. Eventually they had to have it towed and they had to stay overnight in a hotel. Until the whole deal with chargers for all EVs gets populated I would not buy one. I'll stick with the current Escalade for now.
Vehicle to home - how much power?
The one thing I am mainly concerned about the EV market is the large vehicles like this using insanely big batteries. Even though this will be presented in a more limited market, 3 Chevy Bolts could have been made with one battery out of this.
But this has a larger profit margin than 3 Chevy bolts 🤑🤑🤑
Just like some like a small house and some like a large house, not for everyone.
And when it fails?
@@krane15why does it have to fail? Hasn't been much problems out of the Hummer EV
"he EV market is the large vehicles like this using insanely big batteries"
It's better than the insanely big amount of CO2 and other pollution that an ICE pumps into the air.
Plus the batteries can be and are recycled. And no, the lithium isn't made by child labor. The two main sources of lithium for electric cars in the USA are going to be the Salton Sea Geothermal Field in California and various places in Nevada.
This gets roughly the same range as the gas version btw. 528 for gas, 450 for battery.
The wood trim lights up?
Yep!
5:58 is where they start talking range, etc.
Nice ride there Jim. How many newton meters of torque? Jim, who the $@! Uses newton meters?
What is GM thinking? How many of their customers have pocket protectors?
Whoa, this came out of nowhere. I'm in full drool mode. Full size 7 seat SUV EV! Yes please.
They’ve teased it months before it debuted. Then again it was only on social media
Silverado EV, Hummer EV, now this... it was only a matter of time.
More videos keep it up
It’s beautiful but can the roads take all these heavy ass cars?
I hate EVs but this..... Incredible. The V is my dream but now this would be unbelievable.
I never liked the EQS but this Escalade further solidifies that. The EQS is downright hideous. I’m tryna see how I’m gonna cop this Escalade right quick tho. 😅
It just look like the gasoline version
Is the GMC Yukon coming out with a EV?
Starts at 130k!!!!! Holy shit
It's great and I'd buy one except production will be 5 units / year and ADMs will be at least $15k so no thanks.
We needed another $100K + luxury EV. Thank God we 1%ers have another option.
I love it all
Should sell well to Burlington Northern.
Oh wow. The music. Hahahaha!!
I like it!
I'm buying this vehicle for sure for Uber and private rides. It'll be a killer!!! It needs to have Apple carplay integrated.
The biggest question is if they are only going to actually build these in any significant numbers? Or is it going to be just a few hundred of these in the first year?
They are not capable
I think the hummer has been out since 2021 and only 8300 “produced”, but no one knows how many have been delivered because a significant % are sitting on GM factory lots waiting for specific parts. For example in Q1-2023, they sold 2 hummers lol. Seriously doubt that the new Escalade production will do much better.
Someone again forgot a dash.. hate this new tablet looking dash. It makes it looks so cheap. Plus how much screen do you need ? I’m driving . I need about 8-10” max and even that is a lot
Finally getting close to the full size EV SUV that we want.... but I am still disappointed in the rear cargo space. Looks like GM cut off around 10 inches. And no, the frunk does not make up for that space, it's a weird shape that is not helpful.
I guess I’m going to have to list my house for sale and rent a 1bd in order to afford this. But it’ll be great. Ramen 7 days a week here I come.
The only fully size SUV worth buying right now in my opinion is the Grand Wagoneer. The Escalade EV has the seating capacity of a much smaller ev and that third-row likes like the back of a cop car in terms of space. Defeats the purpose of building such as large vehicle.
Oh, stop it. I agree the GW has the best 3rd row of any full-sized SUV currently on the market, but the Escalade is far from cramped. It comes in as an acceptable second. That's the ICE GW btw, I haven't seen an EV version of that SUV introduced yet.
Give me a second row bench
what is the real range from 80 to 20%
I absolutely love this. It is superior. As a Mercedes fan, I have to say, this is the first American Vehicle I would choose over it.
Exactly!!! At the cost of an EQS, this is a no brainer
For straight and level cruising, and acceleration. But no American SUV even comes close to the handling of the Germans. Thankfully, the FWS and crab walk, will now shrink the size.
Is this the new Nikola Badger Trevor Milton General Motors deal? I hope it doesn’t have the Chevy bolt batteries! You all heard about the Chevy Bolt batteries, can’t park the vehicle inside much less near a building due to fire hazard.
I love em all
How big do you need your screen to be? Yes
Three words: pimp my ride. When did cars become light shows.
For the cost of that thing they should throw in a GMC diesel generating set 4 range extender
Panoramic glass roofs that aren't retractable!!! Are they looking to grill people inside 😅🔥🚒
Will it be a gas version?
More 'PowerPoint Ware'! Will it actually come out when they say? Will they make more than 100 a month? Will GM still exist after the UAW contract fight? Inquiring minds want to know.
Another 4+ ton vehicle.
It's small - its not an Escalade. We still need a true 7 passenger EV. I was excited until I opened it and realized its an Escalade in name only.
Another vehicle I can't afford.
I hope someone in heaven tells Jack Rickard of EVTV that GM finally built the TesCalade for him. 😂 RIP Jack ❤
IMO it kills the MB and BMW smaller SUVs, which are closer to the Lyriq than to this beast. One exciting announcement is the availability of UltraCruise. This feature is already trickling down to lower model vehicles, suggesting that in a few years vehicles like the Equinox will offer it, at least as an option.
Except no American SUV can handle like the Germans. None even come close. However, they do have the advantage on room
The only thing that made my ears perk up was when he said, " Vehicle to Grid capabilities "! After that, it was all blah, blah, blahhh. They definitely should give the option to cover the sun roof panel! Oh, by the way, no mention of the "NACS" charging system? What good is a vehicle that you say, does over 400 miles range, but you cant find reliable charging stops that allow you to travel the country???
