    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.

      EV Home Charging: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      The EV9 Wind AWD with average transaction price of $62,500 is as close as you can get to a Telluride in the SX-Prestige X-Line trim with average transaction price of $54,200. Yes a difference of $8,300 which gets you a larger auto in the EV based on length and width. Telluride is taller. EV9 has more interior space. Yes the savings has not crossed the full cost of the auto but then the maintenance has not been figured in either, where Kia says every 7,500 miles for a proper synthetic oil change. As such, that would be 4 1/2 oil changes and here they average $100, so add $450 to the gas price, so approaching $5,000 pretty much I will be break even by the end of 2026 in how I see it. The benefit of never having to go to a gas station, no maintenance, it is still very simple for me and if you have no problem with used, then you can save a tone on a certified EV or certified ICE. I am seeing 2yr lease returns with very low miles at way less than the 2yr lease ice return. Thank you for the Tire info, I forgot when I just quickly looked at my paperwork from the free inspection they did and did the dumb stupid math of converting 6/32 to a percentage which is NOT how I should have done it. @Drew Dowdell Made a big mistake in tire life. 60% tire life left based on the new tread depth versus current tread depth. Just looked on the Hankook website for new tire information: Hankook iON evo AS SUV 275/50 R20 tire has a tread depth of 10/32 inches

      Per Scout's own support site: They only address Apple Carplay   So I hit the chat button and they responded with the following: So at this point, AA/CP is not supported till they state it imo.

      I want one of these so bad. I wouldn't even worry about the "range extended" version as the EV range will be sufficient enough for me. 350 miles of range is more than enough for me. I'd be fine with like 275+ miles of range.  My only issue is price and if I could swallow a 60-70k depreciating asset.  Oh, I guess my other issue is the dealership/maintenance/repair network situation. I know they're supposed to be building a repair network, but I still worry without any legacy-like established buildings. Yes, they claim to drive to you wherever you are and I'm sure that's only while under warranty, but what happens outside of warranty? Am I paying like a $500 bill to come to my house then to diagnose an issue?

      Everything I've read says they will support AA/CP.  I'd LOVE a Scout but I'm not sure if I could swallow the price.  I think it's a mistake to allow Chinese vehicles into Canada or the US.  You're right. They only have children working in near-slave-like conditions. Good point. 🙄

      Just a weeeeee bit off of the price of vehicle difference..    6/32 is more than 20%. 2/32 is the legal wear marks and most street tires come brand new at 10-11/32. You've likely worn off 4/32 and have 4/32 remaining before the wear bars. If your tires are at 6/32, you're right at 50%.
