“ 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds.”

Not impressive for an EV of today.

My less than $60K Mustang Mach e (purchased over a year ago, mind you) isn’t far off of that. The sporty model matches that. Other EV’s beat it.

Then there’s the “bespoke” EV’s that crush that.

“But, if successful...”

It won’t be.

This is perhaps the ugliest car since the AMC Pacer.

It should be named the Edsel II. And I know that the Edsel was Fomoco product.

Considering the lousy performance and quality of their truck engines plus the recall of EVERY SINGLE BOLT EVER MADE, I can’t see how this is going to elevate anything but the shareholders’ blood pressure. I wonder if you have to build a fireproof garage to store it in?

One can put lipstick on a pig: it’s still a pig.

“GM tests limits of Cadillac’s brand power with $300,000 Celestiq electric car”

i think what they’re really testing is the limits of stupidity of anyone who forks over the bucks for one of those ... can’t imagine the cost to keep one in repair for a HAND-BUILT, low production model vehicle ... Henry Ford solved that particular problem in 1908 ...

“No Cadillac is worth $300K”

One is - but it’s over a century old.

Crap! Go to the effort to build a car like that and then paint it “NO SALE” Blue! What? It’s electric? Well, then who cares what color it is?!

Ten years from now an excellent example will probably fetch no more than $30k, even allowing for Bidenflation.

"Noticeably missing from the Celestiq are exterior door handles. Instead, owners can open the doors by pressing a button or have doors open automatically as the driver approaches the vehicle with a key fob, according to GM."

Opening a door must be Hell after freezing rain.
