I'm now 150 miles into testing Cadillac's new 2025 Escalade IQ Luxury so it's time for a status report:

-Averaging 2.4 mi/kWh.
-Sumptuous and exceptionally comfortable.
-Steering feels too loose on the highway.
-Auto power opening/closing doors are annoying.
-Looks stately.
-AKG stereo is average.

This Once-Promising Chinese EV Is Now Rotting In Northern California The Byton K-Byte could have been a rival to the Model S, but the brand failed to launch. Here's what's left of it.

Yall remember Byton? There are two prototypes concepts in the bay area kind of rotting in the sun

Still such a premium product despite being a century old.

The arrival of the ICE-powered Dodge Charger (hopefully) marks the slow influx of cash back to Stellantis. Offering a V8 would expedite the recovery even more.

How Tariffs Threaten Americaโ€™s Clean Car Future Ultimately, President Trump's automotive tariffs may just mean more expensive cars in the short- and medium-termโ€”and less R&D money spent on the technologies of the future.

A new edition of Route Zero dropped today! In today's issue: why no one's winning in the automotive tariff war, and why this is bad news for investments in cleaner cars and autonomy:

Night vision rules albeit this 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Luxury's slightly angled readouts on the gauge cluster are throwing my depth perception out of whack. Also, here's the most comfortable and ideal drive mode configuration for everyday runabouts. Note the *much-needed* tight steering setting.

My biggest change was like cereal. For decades I would eat so much of the like sugary colorful crap (Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbels, etc.) but now I'm strictly Cheerios or basic stuff.

Similar with oatmeal, i make oatmeal from scratch nearly every morning rather than the single packets you heat up.

LC and actually the UX because it's the closest thing we currently have to a Lexus hatchback. Thougths? I'm mixed. I still love the brand, but feel as if they're falling behind in terms of desirability and overall quality of materials and such. There needs to be more separation from Toyota products.

I've strayed as far as possible the past several years from ultra-processed foods because they literally would make me feel like total shit.

Can confirm you can feel all 9,300 pounds of sheer bloated mass when heavy braking in the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Luxury.

Tim Kuniskis has been head of American Stellantis for 24 hours

Has the Hemi Pacifica been launched yet?

Is there an embargo on that?
