Arguably the flagship model of the entire General Motors lineup, the Cadillac Celestiq is a special vehicle for the Detroit-based automaker, as well as its customers. In order to create a sense of occasion, The General has elected to offer Celestiq buyers the opportunity to take delivery of their uber-luxurious EV at a location outside of the conventional dealership.
Just as Corvette buyers can take delivery of their vehicle at the National Corvette Museum, Celestiq buyers now have the ability to take pick up their bespoke luxury sedan at the Cadillac House at Vanderbilt.
It’s worth noting that new Celestiq owners can still opt for an “old-fashioned” dealership delivery process.
For reference, the Cadillac House at Vanderbilt is a brand-new facility designed with one objective in mind: to assist prospective Celestiq consumers with customizing their bespoke luxury sedan. Of course, the Cadillac Celestiq is an extremely customizable product and offers levels of affluence never before seen from a General Motors product, so it may come as little surprise that GM felt as though a dedicated facility like the Cadillac House at Vanderbilt was warranted.
Located on the GM Global Technical Center campus in Warren, Michigan, the Cadillac House at Vanderbilt welcomed its first clients last year.
As a reminder, the Cadillac Celestiq features a 111 kWh GM Ultium battery pack and a pair of GM Ultium Drive motors for propulsion. Total system output comes in at a GM-estimated 600 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque, which yields a claimed 0-60 acceleration time of 3.8 seconds.
Under the skin lies the GM BEV3 platform. Starting production as a 2025 model year vehicle, Celestiq models are assembled at the aforementioned GM Global Technical Center. Interestingly, the bespoke luxury sedan is built by hand, and in extremely small numbers.

“….the Cadillac House at Vanderbilt is a brand-new facility…”
No…it’s not brand new.
It was built in the mid-1950’s (…opened in ‘56) as part of the original Eero Saarinen-designed Tech Center buildings / complex. It served as the employee / management cafeteria for those on the West side (secured) portion of the campus.
When full food service ended, it was empty for a while and then they had a “Quiznos” in it for many years.
It’s only “recently” been refurbished / repurposed for the Celestiq program.
The next question is there an extra charge for delivery at The Cadillac House at Vanderbilt?
It costs Corvette customers an extra $1,500 to take delivery at the Corvette Museum.
My Lexus was delivered to my house with all the necessary paperwork done at my home. Dealer I bought from was only 60 miles away. I never went to dealership store.
Considering the cost of the Celestiq you would think GM would do a van delivery to the Buyer’s home wherever that is, at least in the US.
GM is amazing.
