    Cadillac Teases Super-Cruise in Awesome New Ad For Oscars

      While putting the Escala Concept on a Pedestal!!!

       

    Whoah!!! Dare Greatly takes on a whole new meaning as Cadillac moves FORWARD in their quest to re-conquer the World. Once deemed the Standard of the whole World.. Cadillac hit hard times, falling from its once lofty post above all other brands.  To me, it is a time game of continual hard work and making the best. They can't let up and I don't see them doing that anytime soon.  Set to debut during Oscar night.. this ad showcases some of the awesomeness that is and will be soon.. at a Cadillac dealer near you.

    Totally Rockin it for once! :metal: This hits on all Cylinders and kWh. :metal: 

    I agree. I literally got goose bumps on both ads. The one that they did about unity hit the same nerve but on a political basis. Finally seeing the Vseries being utilized to show its command..  the CT6 in its glory..  Escalade..  And XT5 looking regal..  ATS was absent though, as was the XTS. Could be because they are the oldest but still. Loved seeing the Escala in motion..  out on the street. It would put every flagship on notice to cower in a closed garage if it hit the streets today.. Hell next year. Simply gorgeous

    Just realized the CT6 Hybrid is rated at 62 MPGe. I so HATE the MPGe deignation. They are screwing up the public by trying to say electric is equal to gas which it is NOT. They should be using MPkW or Miles per Kilowatt. This is a very true and comparable method of how far an electric charge will get you.

    In this case, the CT6 Hybrid would be 31 miles pure electric and 35 MPG.

    Yes I know that would say EV is less efficient than gas, yet this would also force auto companies to put in a proper size battery pack rather than a tiny one in these hybrids. 18.4 kWH size battery, pathetic, but then the MB Hybrid is just as small and pathetic too.

    Hopefully sooner rather than later for the Escala! :D

      Having looked at all the images online, I have to say that the interior and exterior other than the color which I like is a let down and I would even say for a Luxury brand looks cheap.

      Due to my tradeshow season, do not have the time till June to do any writeups, but Lexus has released their Luxury version 3 row SUV EV that Toyota released as the Highlander and Subaru also has. Clearly not connected to the ICE Spindale grill or as many of us called the Predator mouth. https://pressroom.lexus.com/all-electric-three-row-luxury-the-all-new-2027-lexus-tz/ The press release says 300 miles of range on Select Grade. Look at the fine print, this is a sea level level road, anything else is 250 to 280 miles of range. FAILURE Lexus / Toyota along with the 400V system.

      Discussion:Ultium Twins to hit the market soon from Honda / Acura

      By ccap41 · Posted

      After doing a bunch of research on this, it isn't so much Honda/Acura are limiting charging speeds as it is the battery pack total size directly correlates to the rate of charge they can accept. The Prologue and non-SS Blazer EV have 85kWh batteries at 288 total volts and the ZDX/Lyriq/Blazer EV SS all have the larger 102kWh battery at 345 total volts.  Because of the way the Ultium platforms have multiple pack sizes that can and are linked together to make larger or smaller packs, the total pack volts varies based on the application and why the Hummer/Silverado/Sierra EVs can charge at 800v when they're still on 400v architecture.  Because kW = amps * volts, the bigger packs have more nominal volts because they have more cells.  Below is a Prologue example and change the 288v for the Prologue to 345v for the larger packs of the Lyriq, ZDX, or Blazer EV SS and you get 190kW for the maximum (or do the math for the other chargers, as well)
