9000 lbs160k dollars750 hp200 kwh of batteries (most midsize electric suvs have 100, tops)9000 lbs!!!!25 inches (two feet) longer than a Kia Telluride
>>28987612So it's true that "Everything is bigger in America"
A drunk Indian will kill you in a head on collision with this. Then their jew lawyer will explain to a jury why you deserved to die that way.
>The Escalade IQ far outweighs its 6290-pound V-8-powered alternative, crushing the scales with its 9120-pound curb weightThis is not ok
>>28987647It has the most batteries of any car. Liquid is heavy, solid lithium batteries are presently unobtainium.
>9000 lbs>get into car>mfw
>>28987612If registration taxes were a function of vehicle weight and annual mileage you’d see way fewer of these gay things rolling around.
>son you are now of age you must choose>do you pick new oil every 10k>or do you pick new tires every 10k
>>28987689Gonna book a test drive in one and do repeated high speed emergency stops until the brakes turn to goo. Also I'll leave it with 0% charge in a multi storey parking lot. Good luck getting it out of there.
>>28987696it'll take a crane to get it out
>>28987612The designers over at GM are running into the tyranny of the rocket equation but with lithium ion batteries. Remember, the most important factor in vehicle efficiency is weight, followed by everything else combined. So, doubling your weight via a shitton of batteries does not double your range. GM emphasizes ev range. Uh oh.
The true overcompentasting machine.
>>28987627Everything except our cocks (unless you're black)
>>28987773and a bloody benchod to you too saar
>i dunno should we spend money making an actually nice interior>what about adding cool off road features>maybe we should fix the pushrod engine and use the twincam from the discarded ct6 blackwing>maybe we should hybridize our whole lineup>nah lets put 3000 lbs of battery into a full size truck
>>28987612holy wheel GAPEwheres' the monster trucklet spammer when you need him
>>28987787Great, now i cant unsee it.
>>28987781>an actually nice interiorthe tablet's 101 inches, what else would you want?
>>28987612normal drivers should only be in 3000 pounds or less
>>28988127nicer interior materials, a more cohesive interior design, real buttons, more distinguishing features from the Chevy SilEVerado or whatever the fuck it is called.
>>28987612What's with the "squatting" rear end?What's with the Camaro-tier rear visibility?Bizarre.
>>28988285You know how Lincoln differentiated the "Aviator" from the Explorer by making the rear end swoopier almost fastback? I think it's that. But I also think this might be a different platform than the regular gas-powered Escalade/Silverado twins cuz there's a separate Chevy Silverado EV and I assume this is a more luxurious version of that. If you have seen the new Cadillac EVs (I think they are called like Optic and Lunic or something retarded I can't keep track), but anyways they are pretty low to the ground, more like wagons than SUVsI don't think you want something with 3k pounds of batteries to be higher up.
>>28988292Yeah, this is the Hummer platform
>>28987612>9000 lbsAny car over 5000 lbs should pay extra road tax.
>>28988390Just STFU Bernie "3 mansions" Sanders.
>>28988376I wonder if it's actually that different from the smaller unibody EV chebby platform for the lyric/vistic/optic whatevers. I guess this is the only EV body on frame platform in existence? >not enough ground clearance>can't even towI don't get who this is for. I feel like Lithium mine owners are somehow forcing companies to make useless EV cars to buy up lithium or batteries. Maybe the battery companies are in on it too. Makes no sense to not add mild or self charging batteries to your entire regular gas powered lineup, instead of developing more low-volume 100k+ battery only cars at assumedly considerable cost.
>>28988627BMW i3 was body on frame. I think Ford lightning was too.
>>28988632Well ford lightning is just an f-150 with batteries, I mean a dedicated EV platform I guess I didn't realize this about the i3I thought it was just a remarket of the european market 2 series B class car of the time, basically get americans to buy a tiny car on the premise its electricbut many i3 reviews describe the handling as tippy, and this picture definitely explains why at a minimum this is the first dedicated EV-truck platform
>>28987781>i dunno should we spend money making an actually nice interiorAmericans can buy German SUVs for quality interior. The customers have always shown that most Americans don't care for that though, being content with big domestics that have a pretty poor interior.
>>28987612How much weight can burgers drive with a normie license?
>>28987696If it's an above-ground parking lot, it will charge when going down the ramp.If it's below ground as well, so you'll have to go in circles on the lowest level for quite some time.
>>2898871226,000 lbs
>>28988497fuck you pay debnts
>>28988712There is no limit if it's for personal use. You can drive a 50k lb motorcoach with a 30k lb trailer on a normal license.
>>28987612>9000 lbs>160k dollarsThat's a really expensive paperweight. Exactly who is this made for? The wealthy won't buy it because they got burned on defective Cadillacs last year and they've all run back to Land Cruisers.
>9,134 (nine thousand, one hundred and thirty-four) pounds
>>28987685Weight class it a thing.But anyone who can afford these juat dont give a shit.
>>28988285>Camaro-tier rear visibilityBecause they have to reinforce pillars to prevent the weight from crushing everyone inside when it rolls over.
>>28989509seems dangerous
>>28987612>9000 lbs or 4 082 KGLol, lmaoEven by Murrican standards this is bullshit. Why not drive a Peterbilt at this point?
>>28987612>>28987647>with its 9120-pound curb weight
