    If it gets people into a plug in that otherwise wouldn't, I won't complain.

    I did like the lunar touches.

    The first year's run reservations are taken, but it doesn't say how many that is.

    From THIS video ~ GM's looking to EPA around 1¾ miles/kWh ... 350mile range w/200 kWh pack presuming at least 190kWh usable.



    From the video, it's admirable the way GM handled the extreme motor torque delivered through the ½ shafts hooked up to a variable height air suspension ... especially after finding ourselves with a good amount of shudder - on acceleration in our model X - created when the torque prematurely wears out U-joints.
    Not just a "wow" regarding price .... 800 volt charging - wow!

    At that angle, I don't see it plugged in. All the visible charging cords are still docked.

    A photo from a different perspective, showing it to be plugged in, would be more useful.

    Testament to different strokes for different folks. I couldn't imagine owning this (or being able to afford it) in my wildest dreams.

    If it can tow 7,500 lb, that would mean efficiency would drop to about ¾ of a mile per kWh if nearing full trailer load.
