Well the bill passed it seems and Trump signed the bill eliminating the Ban of new gas car sales in 2035. My feed showed the news today. Guess we will see how the Consumer responds over a long period of time.

Surprised I missed this when it first came through. I try to watch anything by either Jason Camissa or including Randy Pobst as a driver. This has both elements. And I think they did what can be considered a very fair assessment of both vehicles. The fact that the production quality is outstanding and the humor very on point is gravy on top of a really good comparison.

Not a single post about the $400,000 Cadillac that was delivered last week makes me sad in this thread.

Unobtainium.

I'd rather talk about the 519 hp, 0-60 in 3.5s, $65k Optiq V-Series. Leading contender to replace my Equinox EV when my lease is done.

This was filmed at Black Lake at the GM Proving Grounds in Milford, Michigan. I've murdered many an orange cone on Black Lake in my day.

For $400k I want a twin turbo V12 under the hood. Wake up and quit being sad. No one with the cheddar to buy a $400k car wants anything to do with EV.

I mean the Celestiq is more a statement of wealth and exclusivity than it is confirmation of money well spent. If I had $400k to spend on a car that wouldn't be my first choice either but I also can't imagine having that kind of money to spend on a car. It's definitely a unicorn in the sea of mass production. They let you spec pretty much what you want (minus drivetrain) and I guess you can opt for a hardwood floor. Each is hand built. I hope to see one in person eventually.

I always like watching these progressions.

This one's pretty cool too.
