Tariff Tuesday - Sports Cars are Dead
We picked April 15th because President Trump’s tariffs amount to one of the largest single increases in taxes on the American People in history. The tariffs which, if fully implemented, will raise $1.4 trillion in revenue, an increase per household of $1,900 to $7,600 per year. Trump's tariff policies change daily, sometimes hourly, so as always, this information is correct for at least 15 minutes after publication. Each Tuesday we will cover how these tariffs will impact the auto industry

Industry News: SLATE EV Pickup starting at under $20,000, Funded by Jeff Bezo
Yes, that hits the nail on the head of a debate we have been having at my work as many also feel while retro cool, the public says they want it but will not buy it as Humans are lazy. They want Cheap with all the trimmings and that will never happen. Kinda like this video of the true fact of Americans. -

Cadillac News: Cadillac Optiq Will Join V-series Lineup
The EQB is a bad car, and the Optiq is the best of that group but also the newest. We’ve seen the new CLA that charges twice as fast as the Optiq, that will become a new GLB in a year and there will be an electric GLC in about a year.- cadillac

Cadillac News: Cadillac Optiq Will Join V-series Lineup
The Optic competes with the EQB which it out accelerates, charges faster than, has more range than, has more power than, looks better than, and has a substantially nicer interior than. The EQB interior is just trash for the price. It feels like they took a Dodge Colt Vista and tried to make it luxury. BMW doesn't even compete in this space yet. Audi has the Q4 eTron, but the Optiq again has more range than, has a nicer interior than (though the Q4 is closer than the EQB), and I think the Cadillac looks better than. Sure there's the Q6 eTron and Q8 eTrons, but then you're into Lyriq and Lyriq-V price range. Optiq seems to be selling pretty decently too. Anyone selling EVs these days needs to switch their advertising to torque instead.- 1
