    Detroit 2019: Cadillac's First Fully Electric Vehicle

      Shown, but yet to be named.

    During the reveal of the 2020 Cadillac XT6, Cadillac also took the wraps off a yet to be named Cadillac EV.  This will be the first car on the new BEV3 platform that was announced just a few days ago at the GM Investors meeting. 

    The new BEV3 platform is capable of FWD, RWD, or AWD variants and can be spun into many different body styles as customer tastes change.  Technical details will be released at a later date

    Not as good looking as a Porsche or Mercedes SUV.  This looks to be early concept, they could be a couple years away from dealerships still. 

    Without an technical details we don’t have much to go on but this is a vehicle they need for sure.

    Shown, like an actual vehicle?

    Or a rendering of one? 

    Because the picture above looks like a computer generated and pixelated  photograph. 

    In just curious, because pictures have a nasty habit of changing how the actual physical concept will look like and from there, actual physical concepts have the unfortunate luck in looking waaaay different than their real life selves that will go on sale a year later...

    In that picture, the EV in question does look nice.  For a CUV that is...

    Im excited to read about (and obviously actually see)  how that platform will be flexible and what vehicles it will accommodate.

    I also am very excited to see what tech this will be packing.  Battery size and range. Performance specs as compared to Tesla and Porsche and Mercedes etc...

    What electronic gizmos and internet connectivity and internet upgrades GM will be doing (if any)  to compete with Tesla, etc. (Not that I personally value those things, Im just curious on how the other players such as GM and Porsche etc, other than Tesla will go about their EV business...) 

    Let the EV games begin.

    Looks 15 years newer than any other EV SUV... now just build it LIKE SHOWN.

    Looks truly futuristic IMO. Like Blade Runner futuristic. Very cool. Hope that it just flops out the Cadillac womb like it looks right now.

    Better than some other SUV's that look like they flopped out of another bodily orifice.

    I hope they take this chance to go with NAMES on the new EV products. This would be a good time for Cadillac to embrace their Heritage and bring names to the EVs and leave Johann mess of Cadillac to die off on the ICE world.

      So as I mentioned in my Has it really been 25 years? post, I have an app I've been building.  It's called Apartmatic.  It is occupant first property management software.  What does that mean? Most property management software is geared to landlords and property managers that manage several to many units.  This software can do that of course, but what it also does is lets occupants manage their home maintenance, warranties for things they've purchased, keep receipts and other important documentation, keep track of repairs, and more.  You can scan the serial number barcode of your fridge into the software and it will look up the make and model for you AND look up parts like water filters, seals, shelves, handles and more.  It will give you the default manufacturer's recommended service interval for maintenance parts like filters, cleanouts, and more.  It will remind you when it's time to order parts and send you links to shopping sites that have them in stock.   You can use it to maintain ANYTHING in your home.  Have a slate roof? Those need service every so many years. Enter your favorite roofer's information in and it will give you a reminder and ask when you want to send the e-mail to schedule the service.  You can enter all your service vendors in.  Same goes for insurance. Track your insurance plans, extended warranties, keep an inventory of major purchases, have scans of the receipts, all stored in the app in case something happens. If you're a property manager, even more things become automatic. It can use prediction to warn you of when an appliance is nearing end of life.  It can automatically route issues to preferred vendors.  You can put jobs out to multiple vendors for bid and so much more. There is an entire listing to leasing to move-in workflow. Full payment and financial system, tax reporting, P&L reporting, unit turnover automation, and more. I've been building this thing from scratch, out of spite and frustration. No investors, just me being stubborn. If you want to help me out, sign up for the beta at https://www.apartmatic.com/beta and I'll send you the invite link as soon as it's open. It's free and always will be at the Home level. I don't need "looks great!", I need "this is confusing" and "why can't I do X" and "I clicked this and it broke."
