Featured Cadilac Reveal Right now;

will gm be in business long enough to make a successful ev?

 

undoubtedly

 

he looks like frankenstein btw

 

I've owned five Cadillacs in the past. Maybe number six.

 

yes! maybe it's a gm thing. i see a little of barra there too

 

front end looks very mirai-ish, bride of frankenstein-ish

 

Suggests to me that instead of having a 400(?) LB engine mounted up above the axles they have 400(?) Lbs worth of batteries mounted under the floor boards.

 

4,000

 

Are you saying this thing has four THOUSAND pounds of battery??

 

i have no idea, but isn't tesla a ton or two?

 

google says tesla model s is 1200pounds. i would ecpect gm to be more? i suppose it depends on range

 

Tesla cells have metal cases. I think most of the GM EVs have used pouch cells; a plastic bag case.

 

My Std Rng Plus Model 3 is listed at 3,500 lbs. My measurement at a truck stop, 4,000 lbs including me, my wife's dogs and 'stuff'.

Does the EV-1 count?

I vote no, because they never sold those. The lease-only deal was enough for me to say that that car's epitaph was written into its announcement press release. Besides, that wasn't even the same company. GM pre 2009 and post 2009 have similar names but are nowhere near the same thing.

 

The first GM BEV that was for purchase was the Spark EV, that started with the 2014 model year.
