Does it come with a phaser? And would it be politically incorrect to NOT set it to stun?

A performance EV. I can see it now. A $1500 electricity guzzler tax starting in California and soon to the whole country. Then you have the battery mileage problem. If you drive too aggressive, you get a 20 mile range on the battery.
Hate to be a naysayer but Duracell still can't power my flashlight more than 20 total minutes of use.

I read earlier this year, Cadillac was to debut the Celestiq this summer, i read it was likely to be July or August. Haven't really seen any more new about it. I'd think the Celestiq, although really high end, would give us a better idea of where GM is going with an electric sedan.

This issue must be ignored in order for the inevitable EV future to be a success. Just move along....Nothing to see here....lol

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

huh?

Yesterday's episode of Autoline Daily had quite a few nuggets of interest on this path to electrification that we are clearly heading down.

Pilot program on installing charge points in street lampposts for city dwellers who don't have dedicated parking.
Alfa Romeo going 100% EV by 2027. Other Stellantis brands to follow. If you look quickly, and/or freeze frame (3:43), you can see silhouettes of the Dodge products that are going EV
Carbon-free recharging. Solar powered windmills collect and distribute power
Reservations starting soon for Cadillac Lyriq (yours truly may be placing a reservation)

Congratulation. The Cadillac Lyriq is gorgeous.

Do you have any concerns about being an early adopter? Technology stability, reliability, etc.

Nope. I know a lot of the development people. They don’t want to see me should things go south.
