I can't see a EV car climbing around those mountain roads very good.

The new Hummer is electric. Like it or not, electric is the future.

That is great that you have 100K to buy one,or a 10 year car loan.That dealership doesn't think it will sell enough EV Cadillacs to go and spend the money on special tools and training and other stuff to sell them.

Well, adapt or perish.

Agree - Lexus has figured it out.

[–] 102000 (6128) 3 years ago

The price isn't the point - your question concerned electric vehicles being able to go off road and I mentioned the new Hummer is electric.

Cadillac's aren't necessarily cheap, so not sure why you are so concerned about price.

[–] elcamino (15540) 3 years ago

They will double in price when they go electric. A mid size town Cadillac can not stay open with those prices. They would have to sell off half the place just to stay open with the few cars they do sell.

What are you basing that on? I drive a Lexus UXh, (which I understand is not a mid size car), but for point of refernce - the sticker was just under $40k. The UXe is available in the UK for right around the same price.

You aren't serious in wanting people to drive in the Appalacian Mountains in that little pedal car. People bought cars like Cadillac for years because they was real cars.

LOL - Drive IN the Appalachian mountains or drive THROGH them on a road? I doubt seriously if you could drive that pink tanker off road.

And yes, my zippy little UXh will drive quite nicely on any paved mountain road and get 42mpg to boot.

The hybrids are hard enough to work on.

[–] 102000 (6128) 3 years ago

Please explain - I have a gas hybrid - so far no issues.

[–] elcamino (15540) 3 years ago

In the 10 years you need to pay it you will. 5 years is max on the battery.

LANO, Texas (October 10, 2019) – Lexus announced today, it will extend its Hybrid Battery Warranty from 8 years / 100,000 miles to 10 years from date of first use/150,000 miles, whichever comes first – an extension that is valid for all new model year 2020 Lexus hybrid vehicles. All other HV components will retain coverage under the Hybrid System Warranty at 8 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Not losing any sleep over it.
