In all honesty though, I still don’t know what all this efficient, not efficiency means. Did the truck go 507 miles? Yes? it’s sufficient enough. I mean idk it just seems like nitpicking for something you won’t notice in the real world as you’ll be paying what like 20 bucks a week if you charge at home vs gas? I…

I would say that this is slightly better than the ICE one due to the lack of chrome.

Nice of Jalopnik to spec the 911 photo with a rear wiper, right above that comment.

I have a AWD LYRIQ and its already quick enough for a comfy big SUV. 

Oh, I’m on the lookout in the PNW area for exactly that, waiting for a decent (not black or grey) color and under 35, It honestly feels like I won’t have to wait very long.  

I’m curious if switching from Aluminum to full plastic body panels would help with both weight and costs. I know I know, plastic, eek but if you can’t get the weight down from the Powertrain itself maybe the rest of the panels could use the plastic and perhaps more carbon treatment. Seemed to work well for Corvette.

I look forward to picking one up in a couple years for about 30k.

Oh- and they use the SAME exact battery, motors, and drivetrain components too.

To be fair, he says from “nearly empty” to 80, not 20 to 80. But, yes, the Ultium platform doesn’t have the highest charge rates, although I’ve heard the charge curve is decent.

It is not an Equinox, it is however sharing a platform with the Blazer EV, which is also expensive. 

Yes but not really. Yes it is Ultium based, but the Hummer EV is also Ultium-based.

It’s much bigger than the Equinox. It’s significantly bigger than even the Blazer EV. I guarantee the suspension is much different, the seats are bigger and more supportive, the motors are definitely not the same, the luxury features aren’t the same...

That’s kind of my position.  It’s not quite paid off yet, but hell if I can trade it in for something like 20k might not be a bad deal to get something newer lol. Especially having driven it for 5 years, at this point, it’s not quite driving it for free but it’s darn close for a regular ass car.

Pretty damn good looking, too. Nice job, Cadillac.

I mean even other chinese automaker brands can’t keep up with BYD

China isn’t stealing EV tech, it’s buying it.

Sorry but that is utter crap.

I think that’s Tesla

I don’t think that’s really true. I think GM, Ford, and (just recently) Stellantis have spent a crap-ton of money on EV R&D, only to find the market in the US is still a little softer than they anticipated, and now they are toning their spending down a bit.  If anyone, it’s Toyota and Honda that have been reluctant to…
