The upcoming Cadillac Celestiq flagship luxury sedan promises the very latest technology and comfort features, combining the two to create a cutting-edge, world-class all-electric vehicle. One of the Celestiq’s many new features will be an SPD-SmartGlass roof, which will offer an individualized experience for each onboard passenger that’s perfectly in tune with the vehicle’s broader ethos.
With its new SPD-SmartGlass roof, the Cadillac Celestiq will not only bear the styling expected of a top-shelf luxury sedan, but it will also allow passengers personalized control over each of the individual roof quadrants. As such, each passenger will be able to set their own preferred level of roof transparency, further defining the Cadillac Celestiq’s sumptuous luxury offerings. Additionally, there will likely be a button that allows the driver to set the transparency of all four quadrants at once.
The first automotive application for SPD-SmartGlass was in 2011, prior to which the technology was used in aviation and architecture. One of the benefits of the technology is the ability to control the amount of sunlight entering the vehicle or building, which in turn affects the level of heating and cooling needed to keep occupants comfortable, a benefit that is particularly important in an all-electric vehicle.
Check out a few applications of the technology in the brief video below:
The Cadillac Celestiq is the first application of SPD-SmartGlass technology on a production GM vehicle. Although General Motors has incorporated the technology into concepts in the past, the Celestiq is the first vehicle in which the tech will be used in full-blown production, as indicated by Joe Harary, CEO of Research Frontiers, makers of SPD-SmartGlass, in an interview with GM Authority Executive Editor Alex Luft.
The Cadillac Celestiq was originally scheduled for a reveal in April, with the debut later pushed back to the summer months of the 2021 calendar year. However, the delayed reveal was pushed back even further. Now, however, the latest is that the Celestiq is on track for release for the 2024 model year with a starting price around $200,000.

Today Cadillac starting at 200K, LOL,LOL,LOL, are you kidding, this is no Maybach or even close. Stay in your lane, upscale Chevy
Here we go again, this time I’m not going to say anything.
Wel that’s not true because you commented anyways. Just admit it you can’t help yourself you are such a fanboy for Cadillac someone could say oh I bought this vehicle but I don’t like how low the seats are and you would find a way to tell them they are stupid and wrong for it lmao.
I am not entirely a Cadillac fanboy, I like the lyriq, ct5, and the escalade, but the Xt5, xt6, ct4 and the xt4 just feel cheap.
I have the same likes and dislikes at Caddy. I am going to give Lyriq a chance with an open mind, and I hope Gm gets it right on the interior and mechanicals. Outside looks great…
Celestiq will likely be priced higher than 200K, all Cadillac said is the first number is a 2, so beyond that, we do not know. I think GM is planning to sell 2000- 2500 a year. It will be loaded with technology, and be GM’s first UltraCruise equipped vehicle.
That would be great if Cadillac sells that many. I read that Cadillac wanted to build at least one to 1 1/2 models a day.
So, provided that the plant is open seven days a week to meet demand that is close to around 500 a year on average. Unless Cadillac is building four or five CELESTIQS at the same time a day to meet 2K a year? IMO, 2K a year sounds too optimistic unless they are planning to do a super ultra-luxury CUV model and extra model alongside the CELESTIQ.
“Stay in your lane, upscale Chevy” This sedan doesn’t share anything with chevy, this celestiq will be cadillac exclusive with handbuilt interior and exterior. Stop exaggerating over Maybach, the maybach is nothing but a 100k s-class with some more standard features. The maybach is nothing but a fancy package now, while the Celestiq is a high end model on it’s own. Does your jacked up s-class have any revolutionary features like the celestiq? “Stay in your lane, pathetic hater.”
not a hater, a realist. Your just wishing which is fine, Cadillac’s days are behind them. Remember the old hood ornaments, may this needs one with the head of Barra, Lol.
the king of pathetic comments, A
Judging a new 200k cadillac based on previous cadillacs that shared parts from chevy is pathetic. Everything has a start, you may not look cadillac as a maybach competitor now, but maybe in the future some people will. The maybach is nothing but a fancy package now, while the Celestiq is a high end model on it’s own. The celestiq will be fully handbuilt while Maybach shares that same factory that makes standard s class. This is a exclusive handbuilt Gm product that has all the cadillac characteristics.
You have no clue what you are talking about and it shows. Have you seen the maybach suv? The fact you made that comment that it’s nothing but a package shows you know absolutely nothing about cars. Stick to this website because you are clueless about anything else.
The maybach suv is a concept not a production model yet. And when I said that maybach is a fancy package, I meant it figuratively not literally. I know maybach is not a package. I mean all the Maybach variant is is a base S class with a few more standard feature. Maybach just feel like a Package now. You’re the clueless here.
Concept? Ugh no sir it’s for sale. Like I said you have no idea what you are talking about and this comment again proves that.
Do you mean gls maybach or the maybach concept. If you meant the gls maybach then it’s another story. It’s a gls with more standard equipment and extra maybach bits, it’s not a new maybach model on its own. It’s not even hand built and it has the same 4.0 liter v8.
Will, don’t just assume things right away, you said I know nothing about cars but I actually do. And also, as Mohammad explained, the maybach suv you’re talking about is the gls maybach correct?
No that would be your comment since you insulted him over a car you don’t own.
James Hudson
While the world was sleeping, the Germans have been going more and more in to the Buick lane. With brands like Land Rover & Tesla siphoning off higher end buyers.
Meanwhile GM is selling Corvettes, Escalades, HD trucks and soon Hummers.
gm isn’t selling much of anything my man so tell another lie.
So far most of the comments on this article are coming from regular readers. They know GM’s sales numbers.
Regular trolls? Is that what you meant to say? You can’t honestly sit there and say you aren’t a troll yourself? If you are you are being very dishonest again which is not a good quality for a Christian.
Yes, and the soothing sound of GM engines going over my bridge helps me sleep easy at night.
Don’t forget to add put downs, I know those must help you sleep very well to. I bet you’re hell when you get drunk.
Whatever
😂
Lay off my boy. I’m willing to bet you are one of those big nasty sloppy drunks that has terrible hygiene and smells like piss.
Alan
Do you often fantasize about sloppy drunks with bad hygiene that smell like piss?
You know what Never mind I’m moving on to the next article.
BTW: I hardly ever touch alcohol.
I said that to Marty that’s why the line goes to his comment and not yours.
Alan,
Sorry, about the friendly fire.
No worries 😁
With that logic, let’s discount Bugatti and Lamborghini because they really VWs 😏.
Wouldn’t matter if they did discount either of those you still couldn’t afford either one. 😏
Well, well Scrooge McDuck, I see since you so busy making money, making comments about what can I afford must be a priority for you…
Nope just pointing out facts. 😏
Ok, how much I make, since you have facts or you swimming in your bank vault?….
Here’s what I know guys that have that kind of $ don’t sit around in a gm forum all day everyday arguing with a bunch of nobodies. So like I said I guarantee even if they discounted a Lamborghini you couldn’t afford it and there is no need to even discuss the bugatti since you are wrong and VW does not own them.
So that excludes you?. Since your head is in a proctologist expedition, today’s Bugatti was founded and owned by VW Group, also straight from VW Group website: “The Group comprises ten brands from five European countries: Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, ŠKODA, SEAT, CUPRA, Audi, Lamborghini,”……
Don’t think your limited world view dictates how much money a person makes unless you’re Biden, BTW answer my question “how much I make?”.
Nope sold to Rimac you are wrong my friend try keeping up with the news.
Who cares how much $ that man makes what does it have to do with you? Could you buy any of those cars? Jay-Z said if you can’t buy it 3 times you can’t afford it.
So I’m taking financial tips from a former drug dealer?.., I get it, good advice from no matter who it comes from.
The original point is Cadillac can compete with Maybach with it’s ultra expensive car and because GM has Chevy don’t mean it will share parts with Chevy.
I was saying that to the guy who was telling you that you can’t afford it. If I accidentally sent that to you I apologize it was a mistake it was meant for him.
Look like there’s a CADILLAC in my future since the Uneducated Bean Counters at LINCOLN think cars don’t sale. I like where they are going with this look and options, The Standard of the World is on it way back and CADILLAC IS LEADING THE WAY With AMERICAN LUXURY
When the Maybach 57 and 62 models were introduced as standalone models only, Daimler lost billions on these and I heard that huge discounts near the end of the lifecycle were $100K-$200K. If you think that is funny that Cadillac is entering a $200k club, you should laugh harder that Mercedes can’t succeed with the Maybach brand without heavy discounting before they became an addon expensive package to the high-end Mercedes products.
You got any proof they have to discount them to sell or is this just something you read on the internet so of course it must be true right? Next you will claim Elvis isn’t dead and talk about aliens because you read that on the internet to.
I’m not going to waste my time talking to you since you are so stupid to research any of this yourself and you don’t know anything about the auto business. But since you ask, it is in Motor Trend magazine a while back. You can probably find it on the website as well. If you can’t find it or know where to look for it online, it’s your own fault that you are stupid as hell.
That’s not true at all. They are not selling maybach at discounted prices. Mercedes has done a good job at remaking the maybach hence the suv which is very popular why would they discount a vehicle that celebrities can’t get enough of and they can’t even keep the suv on the show room floors.
I’m not talking about the current Mercedes-Maybach. I was referring to the standalone models that offer discounts near the end of the life cycle before Maybach was rebranded. So say if they did not offer the discount at that time, might as well since they could not get rid of them and they were overpriced vehicles that had a hybrid mix of W140 & W220 engineering in the model on an outdated platform. No one wanted to pay close to half-million dollars for them on an aging platform when MB had the W221 model out at that time which was modern.
The standalone brand was a failure but the subbrand is currently successful which should been done in the first place but I can’t fought MB for taking a risk.
He is right you are wrong andy.
A
Mercedes shut down the Maybach brand after selling only 3000 cars in 10 years. Today it exists only as the highest S-class trim level, and S-class sales are in the toilet
Ugh they have an suv what are you talking about?
Timothy
It won’t be long ‘til we get a Smart Fortwo Maybach
Isn’t the original maybach brand gone completely? The stand-alone I mean?
Cadillac is simply accounting for Bidens runaway inflation. By the time this vehicles drops, $200,000 would be like spending $80,000 in 2021. Build Back Better!
The full details of this cars on Road Performance, Innovative Technology as well as the EV Range have not been addressed to the public in order for us judge it’sexistence. If Cadillac wants to build a 200k vehicle, then they can do that, there is nothing wrong with an American Automaker who wants to build a car that wasn’t meant for the masses, hint the Ford GTO.
The more GM pushes these new EV releases back the more Tesla and other manufacturers will take control the market. Instead of creating the Volt, GM should have started with a 100% battery electric compact SUV/CUV car, which is the most popular type of car. In other words, they should have started with the Bolt EUV, which is a very roomy car inside with a reasonable range of 247 miles, however it only charges at a maximum rate of 50kW were most other manufacturers today charges at 100+kW maximum and there is no extended range (300 mile) option. GM really squandered their knowledge they gained by making the EV1 in the late 1990’s and then cancelling it because it was a money looser. Well, initially it was always going to be a money looser. Look at how long Tesla took to become profitable and they are only profitable now because of the green credits they sell to other manufacturers.
I just talked to someone at GM and they said that the Lyriq debut edition only have 1500 for sale and the remaining non-debut edition 2023 Lyriqs they will not be taking orders for until September now. It was August. And the first regular 2023 Lyriqs will not come off the assembly line until January 2023. That is another 1-1/4 years away before you can actually buy a Lyriq! That is ridiculous! So GM, once they fix the battery problem, will only have 2 EVs for sale right now, the more reasonably priced Bolt EV and Bolt EUV. The extremely expensive Hummer EV and SUV are still not being manufactured yet. My nice ordered a Tesla Model S during the chip shortage in April and she got it on schedule in July. So Tesla has managed the ship shortage much better than GM and other manufacturers have. GM really needs to start getting their EV act together. I don’t understand a company as large as GM can’t seem to get their act together regarding EVs. I was all for Mary Barra as CEO, but now I am having serious doubts of weather she is up to the challenge of switching GM to 100% electric.
Jeff said :
“… I don’t understand a company as large as GM can’t seem to get their act together regarding EVs…”
I agree with that statement to an extent, but seems to me you are being just a bit harsh…. I’ve had a BOLT ev (2017), and now have a BOLT EUV (2022). If anything, the Bolt EUV (a stripped model – no options) is over-contented…
1). They offer standard Level 3 (sometimes called DC Fast Charging CCS1) that I didn’t have in the 2017 ev, and don’t really want now. Historically, it as a $750 option
2). They include a 7.6 kw ‘110/220’ charging brick cord with the car. They used to charge $700 for the equivalent of this.
3). They also offer free, $1,000 off a Range/Stove/RV/ ‘220’ ev Receptacle installation from local electricians. [OR] a $500 EVGO credit towards public fast charging (expires in 3 years)…
Since I already have 3 EV ‘220’ receptacles in my Garage, and 3 ‘220’ volt wallboxes, I really don’t want these things.
And the ‘consolation’ EVGO fast charging credit (I was told by my dealer that I’m the only one who chooses this option, since the vast majority of people just have another receptacle installed, and figure that a $1000 freebee is better than a $500 one), I really don’t need that since In the 4 1/2 years of the old Bolt EV I’ve never needed it, and the rare time I will with the new car, will only be a few bucks at best….
But there are no EVGO fast charging facilities within the driving range of my car..!!!!
4). A WHOPPINGLY LARGE 11.4 kw car charger standard in the cheapest 2022 bolt ev (or EUV) – which as far as I know NO CUSTOMER HAS EVER REQUESTED. The old bolt and my current 2019 VOLT have a 7.6 kw charger – which is handy for public charging use even though the vast majority of locales only can supply 5 to 6 kw. They used to charge $750 for a bigger charging facility, so lets say that would be the optional price… Toyota incidentally with their RAV4 PHEV provides only 3.3 kw, and you must order almost $10,000 of options to get the huge 6.6 kw charger – which is smaller than the old ‘tiny’ charger for the bolt or volt which perfectly satisfied everyone.
So let’s see: that’s $750 + $700 + $1,000 + $750 or potentially $3,200 to be deducted from the MSRP if the above were offered as ‘deduct’ options as the ubiquitous AM radio decades ago was a $25 ‘deduct’ option.
Even though the price of the car is reasonable, I’d have preferred to have the extra cash just the same.
The 55 kw fast charging rate is on the slow side but after all, the cars are built down to a price.
If Barra was on the ball, she’d fix the infotainment systems that crap out on even the high markup premium trucks…. NOW THAT will cut into her stock market bonuses.
Barra is the CEO, not the infotainment programmer, do you have any idea what a CEO does? CEO’s rarely see the product, as that is down Mark Reuss’s side of GM.
Bill my man I’m glad you are ok I have been worried about you since the issues with the bolt. I mean this to by the way not trolling. I’m glad you are ok and nothing happened to your car.
Dear Bill, I partially agree with you regarding the features of the Bolt EUV. They should offer a stripped down more affordable version for around $29,000 and then they would be the first to offer an EV for under $30,000 in the USA.
First, my problem with GM is that back in 2017 they promised us 20 new EV models by 2023 and so far they only have 2 EVs actually for sale once the battery issue is resolved. And the new Hummer EV and SUV are way too expensive for most people to afford and still are not at the dealers yet. And as I mentioned before, the Cadillac Lyriq is not going to be available to actually buy until 2023. So GM will only have 5 EVs for sale in the USA by 2023.
1. Bolt EV
2. Bolt EUV
3. Hummer EV
4. Hummer SUV
5. Cadillac Lyriq
So GM has been ridiculously SLOW in coming out with new EVs since their promise in 2017 of 20 new models by 2023, that was 4 years ago!
Second, GM should have overseen the LG battery manufacturing process much more closely than they did and implemented their own quality control protocols and not rely on LG’s. They and everyone else knows the battery is the most crucial and expensive part of an EV and is prone to dangers of catching on fire. If they did that, they probably would not have had any Bolt fires and I would have sold my Bolt EV and bought a Bolt EUV as well. I test drove one of the Bolt EUV Launch Editions and it was just like driving my 2017 Bolt EV except better due to the better seats and smoother ride. However, I also drove a 2022 Bolt EV the same day I test drove the Bolt EUV and the seats in the Bolt EV were worse than the 2017 Bolt EV.
GM has a lot of catching up to do.
Jeff: Totally agree with you. I think the 30 evs include 28 Chinese Puddle Jumpers which don’t have any recognizable names. The cloth-seated much higher quality ‘stripped’ 2022 EUV to me feels just GREAT. As with my 2017 Bolt ev, I wouldn’t want any optional seats. The 2017’s only downside was the seats LOOKED cheap and thrown together, even if overall not bad…
The standard Cloth 2022 EUV has seats that are Nice, Quality looking, besides being more comfortable.
Marty: Risk was the same as being struck by lightning, but thanks for the concern anyway.
As far as the naysaying entertainment issues – OBVIOUSLY my point was that people in general are getting so upset that it WILL AFFECT the Stock Price…
Hint: Barra is at least concerned about THAT.
The EV1 program was never intended to be a continuing production vehicle. That is why they were all lease-only products. It was not a conventional lease either – you were not given the option of a buy back at the end of the lease.
200k…….. what a joke!
I think the Celestiq is a mistake, Cadillac has tried moving upmarket in the past with the Allante and the XLR but neither was successful. They couldn’t even sell the CT6 which was a great car or the CTS which was also a great car. Cadillac builds good cars, but they don’t market them properly…actually they don’t market them at all. If Cadillac intends to introduce a $200,000 sedan they’ll need a whole new marketing plan and possibly a whole new marketing department. At the very least they’ll need a new Marketing Vice President. Its become perfectly clear to me that this person knows NOTHING about marketing because the CT5 V Blackwing recently beat the BMW M5 Competition and Audi RS 7 in a Car and Driver Comparison and nothing has been said about…not in a TV Ad, not in a print Ad. This is big news people !!!!
Corporate marketing for this car will have an impact especially if the public sees famous, important people driving around in a Celestiq in prestigious, real-life situations – e.g. Hollywood types being driven up and getting out of a Celestiq at an important event such as the Academy Awards. Or seeing Jeff Bezos arriving somewhere in one, instead of a Tesla.
Jeff is a simple man so sorry brother but he won’t drive a vehicle like that. Don’t believe me go lookup what his daily driver is.
The Allante and XLR were not bespoke and hand-built models like the CELESTIQ will be. The general public will know about this car but only the truly rich and wealthy can afford this car. If you notice, you hardly see advertisements of exotics on TV.
Now I do concur that the Blackwings need advertisement but GM is limited on advertising right now due to supplier issues thanks to the pandemic. Also, there are no cars on the lot to begin with.
XLR was awful, looks bad, had a balky roof, and a weak Northstar engine.
Blackwings are selling just fine, no inventory to sell right now.
XLR looked amazing, drove great, handled well, and the RWD Northstar is not even remotely a slouch. You have no clue what you’re talking about. I daily drive an STS with that motor (which weighs WAY more than the XLR), and that car is a rocket.
Doesn’t matter people know Cadillac is gm period. Hand built or not they aren’t taking anything away from that luxury segment. They should stay where they are now.
Has anybody seen Celestiq? How is it. Whence we gonna see it?
Investors saw the Celestiq at GM investor day, We will see it soon… I think Before CES
I absolutely loved Cadillacs my whole life and have owned a 96 Eldorado, 98 Catera, 99 DeVille, 02 Seville, and 04 XLR.
I really wanted them all to be great cars. I’d continue to believe they were had I not tried German competition. Hell, we had an 01 Lexus LS and I’ve still yet to find a Cadillac product that has been as impressive as that car. GM is run by accountants and delusional executives.
If you’ve actually tried as much as a current gen Mercedes C class, you would know that Cadillac is a long way from asking $100k for a car. $200k is laughable and it isn’t realistic that they will sell enough to cover their development and retooling expenses.
Lots of things have happened with GM since ’04….. Bankruptcy, recovery, lessons learned. Today, the shift from ICE to electric powertrain is happening, and GM is well ahead of Lexus and Mercedes in this area. You might open your mind up to reconsidering Cadillac as a car that you can fall in love with once again, If not the $200k Celistiq, open up to the $60k Lyriq.
I’ve looked at Cadillac since getting rid of my SRX; as for lots of things happening, I haven’t seen any that negate my criticism.
I had looked at the 09 CTS at one point and it looked nice and drove well. However, if I’m going to spend my money then I want to get as much as possible. Orange peel was horrible and the materials used were on par with Chevy. Everything about the interior fell short of the brands that I was cross shopping (Audi, Acura, and Mercedes-Benz).
More recently I’ve looked at the Escalade and CT6. I can’t comprehend how someone will pay the asking price for the Escalade. The best that I can figure is that they have no other competition when it comes to vehicles at that size. The level of quality was lacking. I was impressed with the CT6, but again, what can I get for that money from Audi or Mercedes? The CT6 didn’t compare.
As for EV advances, that has yet to be seen. There are too many other metrics to compare today. Ever see a German car with cracked leather at 30k? You’ll find it in a Cadillac. Cheap plastic? Large panel gaps? Horrible brakes? Unrefined engine? The need to have a yearly alignment? Rust after 3 years? And that brings me to the dealer problem.
If you’ve only experienced a GM dealer, this is going to be unbelievable. Let’s say you find a spot if premature rust, you don’t have to argue about it for 3 months. Instead you get a new vehicle while yours is repaired. I have a friend with a Mercedes that I think cost him around $120k. Do you think he drives to the dealership and drops it off to wait? No, they come and get it and leave the same model in its place. I think GM is not only going to miss the mark on the vehicle, but I doubt that they understand the level of expectation that goes along with the dealership experience when you sell a $200k vehicle.
Fair enough comment, compared to Lexus or Mercedes, Cadillac still has work to do. Even the latest and greatest Cadillacs have some fantastic traits, and some awful ones. I will give GM a fresh start on Lyriq and Celestiq, but if I fins some cheap GM hard plastic in the front or rear seats, it will discount all the other progress they have made.
“…The Cadillac Celestiq was originally scheduled for a reveal in April, with the debut later pushed back to the summer months of the 2021 calendar year. However, the delayed reveal was pushed back even further…”
– OK…. HOW MUCH further???
What’s up dude
I got a question for all you guys slamming maybach claiming it’s “just a package”. How many of you have ever seen on in person? How many of you have ever been inside one? Have you ever felt the materials? And no just because you have seen pictures or some crap YouTube video doesn’t count I’m talking about with your very own eyes. My bet would be none of you.
I have seen five in total; four on the road with one car parked while I took a peak inside standing outside on the sidewalk and one at the auto show. Those cars were the 57s, the true Maybachs.
I also seen the few Mercedes Maybachs S Class. And even though they are nice, it is nothing more than an S Class with an extra LWB with a Mercedes badge dressed up with fancier features, more technology and padding. So it is just an expensive package to create a subbrand within Mercedes just like AMG which is nothing wrong with it if there is a market for it.
So no one is slamming the Maybach and it is the other way around that people are slamming Cadillac that can’t compete with them in the future that started all of this.
I’ve lived in New York for 14 years, I’ve seen my share of Maybach’s with my own eyes and no I have not been inside one and that just fine.
This can work but they will have to get it right and it has to be over the top.
We also need to temper expectations as no matter what this is not going to be a high volume car just do to the price and that is ok. The key here is this needs to be a car not every one has if they did it would not be special.
Cars like Maybach fail as they just look like a bigger Benz.
When you say fail what do you mean by that? The maybach isn’t for a bunch of broke jokers who complain about an 80k pickup truck it’s for people who have money. I’m just really confused how you can claim it’s a fail lol. You just claimed the Cadillac needs to be something not everyone has well guess what friend that’s what the maybach is.
Maybach was intended to be an independent company of Benz it failed to support that and now is marketed as a top end model in the Benz line.
That is not my opinion it is what Benz did when volumes never met their expectations.
They killed Maybach in 2013 and revamped what they were doing and now it is Mercedes Maybach.
Maybach today is not a company it is a name of a next level luxury package on a Benz much like AMG is a up level performance package.
So while they are doing ok as a option package they failed as a Maybach company and brand.
Not sure why some on here not understanding the difference of the Maybach standalone and MB-Maybach as a subbrand.
Johnls_39
Exactly.
The original Maybach, 20 years ago, was a stand alone brand within Daimler Benz offering 2 sizes of the same exclusive sedan. It could not support itself and was dissolved after 12 years of production. Mercedes originally estimated annual sales of 2000. The best year was 2000 with 308. Most years saw just over 100.
After that, Mercedes marketed a “Pullman” high end Mercedes S sedan as a kind if replacement.
The Maybach name alone was revived recently for an even higher-level Mercedes S. It’s official name is the “Mercedes- Maybach”. There is now a highly unattractive SUV as well.
Whatever dude you are tripping
Wow!
All this arguing over a product that doesn’t even exist yet.
I see it this way GM Mastermind have spent 4 decades destroying Cadillac’s reputation. Spiffed up Chevy;s qualify as something special to them. IF they do this car they will NEED TO STICK WITH IT! Dont de content it and drop it after a few years of short cuts and neglect to save a few penneys per car.
Sounds like they delayed it so it could debut with Ultium 2.0 and possibly silicon carbide (SiC) electronics from Wolfspeed. With first gen Ultium they were estimating over 300 miles of range for the Celestiq. With the 60% range improvement from Ultium 2.0 and SiC they can get over 500 miles and be competitive with the Model S and Lucid. Maybe even hit 600 miles.
