Okay, I love this thing. I was thinking about plopping down a deposit until you said the price. I was expecting maybe 10-20k over a normal Escalade, but a 130, 000 starting? That's a 50, 000 premium over a base Escalade. Look I love the fact that they are building REAL SUV's that happen to be EV's but, that's almost 4x the average American salary. An 84 month payment would be the average home mortgage. Also, not a fan of not having smart phone integration, especially with the nickle and dime schemes of the data plans. Also, with the 3rd row, I'd rather it be optional, or made fully removable. Most people will next to never have anyone back there, so might as well get rid of it and get some range. Overall, beautiful, beautiful vehicle GM. now build one we can afford!

It's absolutely gorgeous! Very striking! If this is the Caddy, imagine the Tahoe and Yukon! The trickle down effect will be interesting to see! I think cars/Ev's like these are good to bolster competition, so no car company stays stagnant (although I feel like Toyota and Honda are getting there. And as crazy as this is, by doing this, it will eventually help engineers figure out how to reduce batteries and give longer ranges. You can't figure out all that without starting somewhere. It's crazy to think that a company can jump into the ev game with 500 miles of range. Cell phones took so long to evolve, and were more exclusive.

Its pretty good except that they kind of made it a lot less practical. It will also be quite inefficient. Overall I'm way more interested in seeing how the EV9 plays out. Both have the same combined legroom measurements even though the EV9 is OVER 2ft shorter.
Overall I was hoping for a proper 8 seating SUV with similar practicality as the gas versions. Maybe the Chevy/GMC equivalent will deliver, but I expect those to start around 80K base.

Great looking car. Of course, I won t be able to buy one since it s out of my price range, like most other EV s. These higher prices are driving up prices of existing ICE/Diesel vehicles to the point that most people cannot afford a new car. Great technology for those who have the money.

That 1000e badge has a very chinese taste to it as they have been putting a similar badge on their cars as it is the highest number to be found on many of the China market cars. Theirs though only appear on petrol or diesel cars/SUVs & Pickups. And it always ends with a T for. Turbo!

My guess is this is going to weigh about 9000 pounds. I now see why California legislatures are considering a gross vehicle weight tax for EV's weighing a lot due to battery sizes. The roads will need to be strengthened and updated to handle all these extremely heavy EV's.

This IQ is a mind play on proportions. It doesn't communicate its mass design wise compared to the gas powered model. That is until Alex (6' 2 I believe) stands next to it. Even the Silverado EV looks larger on paper.

Love the front end and most of the exterior but I think the interior is a step back from the ICE version. I'm not a fan of the wall to wall screens just like Lincoln also recently unveiled.

Front end is a bit busy just like the Lyriq but otherwise it is a good looking car. Nice proportions. Impressive interior. Overall definitely raises the luxury SUV bar in a few ways.

This makes me curious about what the more affordable future EV Tahoe/Yukon variants of this will be like, given the stratospheric pricing and Jumbotron dashboard setup of the Cadillac.
