Or perhaps eliminating the incandescent was a secret ulterior motive organized by the deep state so the grid could accept more EV's. |

Newest Kid on the Block…
Cadillac released details on the Cadillac Optiq. Here’s Car and Driver’s take on it…
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a6...q-ev-revealed/ And the obligatory stock photo. Looks like a baby Lyriq, with the extreme (in my opinion) rear quarter treatment toned down a bit. Also has a tailgate emblem that illuminates when you approach with the key (which I believe will be your phone).

That's quickly becoming trailing in any class. Maybe acceptable for the Bolt replacement, but for luxury brand? Unacceptable. |

Yeah, but it can charge 19.2kW at 80 amps from a home panel. That's pretty dang good compared to most cars that can only charge at 11-11.5kW off a 50 amp circuit

Still, a luxury brand should be capable of both.

I'm not a Hyundai enthusiast, but my hat is off to them. This is a great segment to watch if anyone has a few minutes to spare. 4k, speaker volume up!
