Aren’t there really just two phone makers in the US at this point? Samsung and Apple? Motorola is the third largest and also has a foldable. But all that matters is Samsung here in the US.

Cadillac (unlike BMW, Mercedes, etc. that stay loyal to historical design cues) is known as a brand that completely reinvigorates its design motif once every decade. It’s nice to see a change for once with bringing back a thinly disguised tailfin and simpler instrument board that echoes the grille shape, a design method found on 1950 Cadillacs from 1950-58. I also see some 2011 Ciel design cues in the side profile.

The article states they only plan to make 500 a year. Seems pretty achievable considering the brand’s audience in China and the US. There is a great correlation between the number of billionaires and the sale of elite luxury vehicles. China and the US make up the lion’s share of billionaires after all. Besides, this is more of a halo vehicle and from a budgetary standpoint, is likely lumped as a marketing line item, not sales.

GM started its BEV/PHEV operations with the Chevrolet Volt and Bolt. The Bolt cost $26,000 without incentives. Not sure what you’re talking about.

I think the Equinox is going to dominate Chevy sales. Maybe even a quarter or a third in US. sales I am definitely interested in it. Too bad they’re not gonna pass that EV tax credit stuff. Would have made it cheaper than a Corolla in theory.

The Chevrolet Equinox EV will cost less than $30,000, GM has already said that, and its coming soon. Also right now you could get a Bolt EUV which is similar in size and utility to a Chevy Trailblazer to $30K. GM is also making a Trailblazer EV that’ll be in the low $20Ks which The Verge has already discussed. Also… The Blazer EV starts at $44K…..
None of these prices are outrageous and are impressively in line with comparable ICE vehicle pricing. Have you looked at MSRPs recently on regular ICE D-segment crossovers?
